... Families
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson delivered one of his most offensive diatribes in recent memory Monday night. "Elites," Carlson claimed, are feigning outrage over President Trump's policy of separating young children from their undocumented parents at our Southern border.
Carlson actually insisted that many of those who say they are outraged by the child snatching "don't even have children," as if people can only have empathy if something affects them personally a hallmark of conservative behavior. He also claimed those who are outraged two-thirds of all Americans now should instead be "worried about the collapse of the American family, which is measurable and real." Apparently he believes the trauma that child psychology experts say will have lifelong effects on these children, is not real.
--------------------
"They care far more about foreigners than about their own people," he says.
"Their own people." As if empathy should have borders. Or skin color.
"Millions and millions of American kids are growing up with one parent at home, families separated, thanks to [the elites'] policies, and that's fine with them."
Carlson neglected to mention what "elitist" policies are forcing parents to not live together, although apparently those policies are putting parents behind bars.

How typically White Supremacist of him - at least he is not doing a coulter and pretending the kids are actors!

He gets more attention from the mouth breathers because they agree. And he gets more attention from others who take exception because they are outraged. He's a bullshit salesman.
