      Genuinely curious whether the respectable conservatives take is A. Tucker isn’t racist B. Tucker is racist but it’s okay because wokeness is so bad C Tucker is racist but we don’t want to rock the boat and condemn (or even discuss) it

      I think a lot of not just conservatives but more mainstream journalists who maintain social ties with Carlson think D. Tucker isn't a racist but says provocative racist stuff for ratings.

          That might be the most immoral option of all ... but they're all bad.

          Is it not racist, in their minds, to rile a bunch of racists up by saying racist stuff on TV (for whatever reason)?

          Well, at the least it makes it irrelevant. We become what we pretend to be, as KV said.

          Do these supposed mainstream journalists think he went to Hungary to kiss up to the prime minister for ratings as well?

          Performative grifter racism is still racism and somehow worse than organic unfeigned racism because it lacks the courage of even the worst convictions. Utterly craven.

          That would be race baiting, which can be worse than racism.
