Last night Bill Kristol called out Tucker Carlson for discussing the very real issue of removing monuments of all American forefathers who once owned slaves, saying that Tucker was attempting to rationalize slavery and then later suggested he"d rationalize anti-semitism.

They started by rationalizing Trump. They ended by rationalizing slavery. https://t.co/1BYhLF9YQY

Next: Luther, Voltaire and Marx were anti-Jewish. So why"s it a big deal that the marchers were chanting, "Jews will not replace us?" https://t.co/1BYhLF9YQY

If you watched the segment, all Tucker did was pose a very serious question, which I duplicated here that drew the ire of several residents.

Should we remove the monuments of anyone who once owned slaves?

Tucker responded last night, calling out Kristol for being "glued to social media like a slot machine junkie in Reno. He added that he had once worked for Kristol for 5 years and "a generally smart guy" and a good boss, who was humane and intelligent.

Tucker then asked, "what happened?"

"Hysteria has supplanted rational debate, where the purpose of political argument is to no longer explain your beliefs, but to highlight what a morally upstanding person you are, what a virtuous guy you are, usually by contrast of your opponent, who is by definition, evil. It"s childish, obviously -- but for many people it"s pretty tempting. Even 64 year old men with Harvard degrees fall for it, apparently.

Tucker believes, "part of the problem is also the medium." He criticized the fact that Bill no longer thinks things through like he used to, when he was the editor at The Weekly Standard.

"Now he just goes on Twitter and he stays on Twitter, all day, every day -- dashing off little thoughts and impressions, scoring tiny little points against strangers in cyberspace -- keeping obsessive track of his likes and retweets. At an age where he could be spending his time with his grandchildren, Kristol is glued to social media like a slot machine junkie in Reno."

Watch.

Bill Kristol: "Decadent, Lazy, Spoiled, White Working Class" Americans Should Be Replaced By Immigrants

Bill Kristol, founder of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard, seemingly caught a bad case of foot-in-mouth syndrome yesterday in speaking on a panel for the American Enterprise Institute.  Presumably Kristol was responding to a question regarding Trump"s controversial immigration ban when he let loose with the following slow-motion train wreck of a response:

“Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don’t you want to get new Americans in?”

 

"Basically if you are in free society, a capitalist society, after two, three, four generations of hard work, everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled, whatever."

 

"Then, luckily, you have these waves of people coming in from Italy, Ireland, Russia, and now Mexico, who really want to work hard and really want to succeed, and really want their kids to live better lives than them, and aren"t sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on and, meanwhile, grew up as spoiled kids and so forth. In that respect, I don"t know why this moment is that different from the early 20th century."

Unfortunately, Kristol"s hope that he wasn"t being recorded was not fulfilled...only time will tell if his subsequent prediction about his future will now come true...

"I hope this thing isn’t being videotaped or ever shown anywhere. Whatever tiny, pathetic future I have is going to totally collapse."
