What will it take for this bizarre Woke Right cabal to denounce and reject Tucker Carlson? His vile attacks against POTUS alone should motivate members of the president's inner circle to condemn this obtuse and wicked Neanderthal -- the president himself has condemned him repeatedly.  Is their loyalty for Carlson greater than for the president? Do they have no self-respect? Now, I see, Carlson's essentially throwing his support behind El-Sayed in Michigan. Unsurprising to most of us. That said, where is the so-called White House War Room? Others are digging a hole out from which they may not be able to climb if they seek office or higher office or some kind of public platform beyond the Trump presidency. What kind of spell does Carlson have over them?  Carlson and the Woke Right have no huge following outside the Internet, foreign bots, and the Democrat Party-aligned media that promote them. The vast majority of Republicans, conservatives/MAGA, and the American public reject their insanity, bigotry, and conspiracies despite their many hits, clicks, algorithms, and the rest. And let us not confuse curiosity, entertainment, and the appeal of the perverse to many rubberneckers with something serious or substantive, let alone electoral clout.  Indeed, Carlson's recently endorsed candidates have flopped spectacularly. Tucker Carlson has become a litmus test of sorts. If you're a rational, upright, decent, and principled person, you have nothing but contempt for him and what he represents. If you don't, well, that's another story.
