Analysis: Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump, Brian Stelter says

"Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump," CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter said on "Reliable Sources" Sunday.

Carlson is practically the face of Fox News, as he hosts the top show on the network. With Republicans out of power in the White House and Congress, Stelter argues that Carlson has filled the void Trump left when he was voted out of office.
"Tucker has taken Trump's place as a right-wing leader, as an outrage generator as a fire-starter, and it's all taking place on Fox, just as Trump's campaign did," Stelter said. "Every day, Carlson is throwing bombs, making online memes, offending millions of people also delighting millions of others, tapping into White male rage and resentment, stoking distrust of big tech and the media, generally coursening the discourse, never apologizing for anything and setting the GOP's agenda. Sounds like a recently retired president, right?"
This past week alone, Carlson mocked women in the armed forces, harassed New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz and tried to rewrite the history surrounding George Floyd's death. He wrote an opinion piece for Fox News' website titled, "Everything the media didn't tell you about the death of George Floyd." And on Tuesday, he went on air and said, "Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It's a mockery of the US military."
