Gregory Hood: Tucker Carlson Keeps His Job - "I think Mr. Carlson did the best that could have been expected"

The Left is egalitarian. The Right understands hierarchy. While the Left has cults of personality, for the Right, the need for a personal leader seems built in. There must be a king, a man on horseback, or a tribune of the nation whom we can follow. This leads to mistakes. In retrospect, the tributes to “God-Emperor” Donald Trump in 2015-2016 are embarrassing, even if you think he should be re-elected. We may soon feel the same way about Tucker Carlson, whom many believe is the real voice of American nationalism — though it’s questionable whether “American nationalism” is even possible anymore.
However, I’m not disavowing Mr. Carlson just yet. Last night, he talked about a hit piece against one of his writers that got him fired. Mr. Carlson spoke against the vulgar comments the young man — Blake Neff — posted on a forum. Tasteless comments in private don’t show any of us at our best. But Mr. Carlson also denounced the self-righteousness of those who destroyed a young man’s career. This took courage. ...

     Love Tucker, who doesn't? About the best of civic nationalists, those who tend to ignore decades of anti-white affirmative action, believing whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Asians, assorted voodoo priestesses and Amazon River Basin headhunters will one day come together in brotherly love for the Constitution.
