I'm surprised to see Tucker interact face-to-face with Palestinian people. I'm not really sure what his goal is. I watched some of the fully episode and he tells his audience that he likes Qatar because they have conservative values.

This tweet has the clip of Tucker at the Refugee Facility. It shows the facility at 2 minute timestamp.

CIA realist faction asserting itself very openly, makes me think something big is going to happen

I don't want to think about it it's too scary

My guess is he's angling to launder his antisemitism through a humanitarian lens to pretend to care about Gaza?

Proverbial broken clock. “On the Nose” did a real good deep dive, where one of the panelists describes listening the Tucker, as a Palestine activist, is akin to riding as a passenger in a specific car that you are super familiar with and suddenly you find two wheels in a ditch and the car is about to go off a cliff.

I don't think it's a broken clock situation. Tucker is a fascist and he's also very calculated. It's not a coincidence that he is taking stances against Israel.

He knows that there is growing resentment towards Israel, even among right wingers. Tucker is a propagandist. His positions are tactical.

I can't decide whether he is a Face or a Heel. Either he is using the public resentment towards Israel to get people on his side or he's playing the role of the bad guy to make anti-Zionism look bad.

There seems to be a schism happening on the right between those that cater to true antisemitism/nazism and the internationalist, 'tolerant' fascists. It seems to me like some such as Tucker and MTG are trying to appeal to the anti-Israel right, which allows them to look more reasonable to centrists as well as still appeal to their true far-right base of white supremacists.

which allows them to look more reasonable to centrists as well as still appeal to their true far-right base of white supremacists.

This. Libs immediately went to bat for MTG and wanted "republicans like her" in the party.

Whatever strat he's pulling, long-term, I see suspicion in it.

Yup. Tucker is the competent fascist we've been warning about. All his plays recently are pointing to some long term plan.

This is what scares me. We can all point and laugh at Trump and his lackeys, but when it comes to competent Fascists like Tucker, I can see the Libs supporting them because "at least they are more presentable".
