The fact that anybody took Alex Jones seriously as a man with a brain is the worst indictment of the cult on the right. A modern day snake oil salesman, and there truly is a sucker born every minute. His type of tripe should have been mocked and laughed back under his rock at his first utterance.

Add Tucker Carlson to that.

Absolutely. You can add a few more like Gym Jordan, Ted Cruz, Marjorie 3 names, etc.

I was watching one of Jordan KlepperтАЩs videos, interviewing folks at T rallies (if you havenтАЩt seen one, do, theyтАЩre very funny and infuriating all at the same time). One thing that struck me was that one man in particular was spouting CarlsonтАЩs nonsense, but was also copying his odd, high-pitched voice as well. It was creepy.

Astounding that they gobble it up without a question. They must not have learned that they should ask "who, what, when, where or why" when given "information."

I couldn't watch it. Just looking at photos of the crowds is horrifying.

We watched this last week on CNN. I've always marveled at how Jordan Klepper does what he does... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STOlDRoYf_0

That was the one I saw. The voice of the guy in the green jacket has similar inflections to Tucker Carlson - it's almost like a male version of vocal fry, and quite distinctive.

Jordan Klepper is just super.
