Max Boot: If a Member of The Squad Called Gen. Milley ‘a Stupid Pig,’ Tucker Carlson Would Be Having a Hissy Fit

EXCERPT:

BOOT: "It’s pretty obvious that people like Tucker Carlson would be having a hissy fit if it had been a member of The Squad, AOC or Ilhan Omar or somebody else, who had called America’s top general a stupid pig, right? You can easily imagine people like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity and all the rest saying these are remarks that show this person is a traitor, they're un-American, they ought to go back where they come from. And yet Tucker Carlson gets away with this vile name-calling and there is not a heap of protest on the right. Remember, Tucker Carlson, who has never served a day in uniform in his life, is calling our top general, somebody who is not only a graduate of Princeton and Columbia University, but has served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, who has risked his life, who has been away from his family for years at a time, Tucker Carlson is saying he’s a stupid pig, and the right seems perfectly okay with that. That to me is just vile and unacceptable, but it’s a sign of where the Republican Party is today in the post-Trump era."
