Tucker Carlson's mission

“When Donald Trump was in office, he posed the most dangerous threat to American democracy. With the former president now golfing fulltime, the most dangerous threat may well emanate from the Fox ‘News’ Channel — and specifically from its top-rated host, Tucker Carlson. He seems to be on a mission to make America's worst problems even worse.”

—Max Boot, columnist, “Opinion: In office, Trump was the greatest threat to U.S. democracy. Now it may be Tucker Carlson,” The Washington Post, Feb. 12, 2021.
