In Trump's footsteps Does Carlson want to be president?
The Guardian Weekly
|July 22, 2022
He entered to rapturous applause, flattered his hosts shamelessly, told them about his political vision and sold them merchandise bearing his name.
Tucker Carlson's appearance in Iowa last week looked like a presidential run, walked like a presidential run and quacked like a presidential run.
The Fox News host was the keynote speaker at the Family Leadership Summit, a gathering of more than 1,800 religious conservatives in Des Moines, Iowa, which every four years is the first state to have a say in picking the Republican presidential nominee.
It was at the same forum in the same state seven years ago that businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump spoke to an audience.
Carlson, 53, another political neophyte and media celebrity, has been touted as a potential Trump heir who might launch a bid for the White House by stoking the same flames of populism and white identity politics.
The New York Times has described Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News as "what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news". It is also the most highly rated in prime time.
Carlson describes white supremacy as a "hoax" but has become a prominent conduit for its talking points.
He has promoted the far right "great replacement" theory, which holds that western elites are importing immigrant voters to usurp white people.

Cool retreats Hill stations swamped by tourists fleeing heat
Until recently, the drive up the mountainous road to Landour was a highlight of a visit to the hilltop town, as drivers enjoyed glorious Himalayan views and breathed in the cool forest air. Today, the journey is something to be endured with up to 1,000 cars a day clogging the narrow, winding road - slowing to navigate hairpin bends. A journey that once took five to six hours from Delhi can now take up to 10 hours, especially at weekends in May and June.

How the rise of Zohran Mamdani has divided Democrats
The Friday night before election day, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City, walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill Park at its northern tip to the Battery - about 20km. Along the way, he was greeted by a stream of New Yorkers enjoying the sticky summer night - men rose from their folding chairs to shake his hand, drivers honked in support and diners leapt up to snap a selfie with the would-be leader of their city.

Broken justice...

While the death toll mounts, Israel's allies must help build a future for Palestinians
“We cannot be asking civilians to go into a combat zone so that then they can be killed with the justification that they are in a combat zone.” It defies belief that the Unicef spokesperson, James Elder, should have needed to spell that out last week.
