Who the hell is Tucker Carlson when he goes home? Other than some guy who smells like frozen fish?

Tucker is apoplectic by the thought that Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final words “may” have been about her successor, which Tucker calls “political.”

Of course, by now everyone knows that in the days before she died, our hero, the Notorious RBG, said that her dying wish was that the next president would pick her successor. Whether she spoke about other things afterward or not, perhaps personal family stuff, we don’t know. We do know that she made the statement about her successor because her granddaughter said she did. Despite Trump’s theory, Adam Schiff and-or Nancy Pelosi sure as hell didn’t just make it up. They, of all people, know to do so would do fck-all good with Trump as president.

But let’s get back to Tucker. Here is Carlson’s take on the matter, from the Washington Examiner:

“Keep in mind, we don’t really know actually what Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final words were,” Carlson said Monday on Fox News. “Did she really leave this world fretting about a presidential election? We don’t believe that for a second. If it were true, it would be pathetic because life is bigger than politics, even this year. We wouldn’t wish final words that small on anyone.”

How much money does he make a year talking about politics for one side of the spectrum? How dare he judge others in what is and what is not “small” in one’s life!

We have to do a bit of a heat check here because Tucker’s words are infuriating.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg could have made millions for herself being a big shot – like Tucker – a hired gun, with one of the sharpest legal minds ever birthed. She could have billed $800 an hour at some DC or NYC law firm.

Instead, she dedicated her life to a cause and it sure as shit wasn’t politics. She started her career representing the ACLU for relative pennies (compared to what she could have made) in order to try to haul her nation out of the dark ages with respect to women’s equality. From there she served on the bench, first on the Court of Appeals and then on the Supreme Court, working until the day she died, never wavering in her commitment – not to politics, but her commitment to women, even proto-women, like tween daughters. RBG worked to ensure that our daughters inherit a better world with far broader options than teaching, secretarial work, or being a “housewife.”

Indeed, Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s last wish (like her life’s work) had zero to do with politics and everything to do with the American dream and what’s morally right and wrong. Her last wish was a fervent hope that her life’s work wouldn’t be destroyed by pure politics, animalistic politics.

And how fcking dare a loyal Trump supporter like Tucker who will say anything for money call Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dreams for the future “small.”

Fck you, Tucker.

Sorry, we rarely get this deep into opinion or this angry. But we’re still grieving and they’re moving on to push their politics. How small of them.
