FOX News' Tucker Carlson called Texas U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw 'eyepatch McCain,' sparking condemnation from Democrats and some Republicans alike.
Certain Republicans are also condemning Carlson, including Gunner Ramer, political director for the anti-Trump Republican Accountability Project. It was “an absolutely terrible and disgusting comment” made by Carlson, who’s one of the most influential figures in the GOP, he said.
Ramer notes that in focus groups, Republican voters nationwide largely report watching the far-right OAN and Newsmax networks, as well as Carlson’s show. The FOX host’s remarks illustrate how much the party has changed in recent years, he said. McCain went from being the Republican presidential nominee to a pariah following the rise of Trump, Ramer said. Carlson’s comments are a reminder that the GOP days of McCain and former President Ronald Reagan over; now, it’s the party of Trump and Carlson, which is bad from a “democracy standpoint.”segment, Ramer said there’s “selective outrage” when it comes to picking on war veteran Crenshaw.
“The outrage that was there when Pete Davidson made his comments is not here at all when Tucker Carlson made those comments last night,” Ramer said, “because Tucker Carlson is one of the most influential voices for Republican primary voters, and just more broadly people that digest conservative media.", it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way.
