We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
American commentator Charlie Sykes has joined a chorus of critics railing against Fox News host Tucker Carlson for his controversial remarks about Gen. Mark Milley, U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"We can't get numbed about what Tucker Carlson is doing and what Fox News is allowing to go over its airways but think about this: you have this pampered man-child trust fund baby calling a decorated veteran a pig and stupid," Sykes said. "And you would think that people would step back and say, 'Ok, I'm sorry. You can disagree with the man, but we are a party and a movement that has always prided ourselves on respect for the military, respect for what he's accomplished.'"
He added: "Those stripes on his sleeve are not, you know, Venmo accounts. Those stripes on the sleeve are, you know, places that he has served his country.'"
Carlson's controversial comments came after Milley told the House Armed Service Committee on Wednesday that it was crucial for U.S. military members to be "open-minded" and "widely read."
"I want to understand white rage. And I'm white, and I want to understand it," he said. "What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out."
Milley argued that he's not a communist just because he's read the teachings of Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.
Carlson, unhappy about his remarks, pushed back a day later. "The race hate—and that's what it is—has oozed from universities and it has infected the entire country, including at the highest levels," the Fox host said.
Sykes questioned why Republicans and other Fox News reporters weren't speaking out against Carlson's harsh criticisms against the country's highest-ranking military officer.
"It's interesting... the ongoing silence from Republicans, the ongoing silence from other folks at Fox News," he said. "It's the stupidity of it. It's the crudity of it. It's the lack of patriotism. It's the willingness to throw any value, anyone under the bus, whether they are police officers, whether they are the military. But this is the norm that the Republican Party, the right, and the conservative media have fallen into.
