The enemy of your enemy—in this case interventionism—doesn't always need to be your friend. What's most concerning about Tucker's anti-interventionism is that it's rooted in selfishness, Nationalism and viewing people in other countries, especially the Middle East, as inferior.https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/1096467708831510530 …

I know your full-time job is screengrabbing zany Fox News clips and posting them on Twitter, but forging cross-ideological coalitions to curtail destructive US foreign policy is kind of more important

I have to interject here, respectfully. I don’t disagree that coalitions are necessary, but I do think it’s important to point out that Jordan worked behind the scenes at MoveOn to get them to run graphic photos of Yemen.

Then he should realize the importance of supporting efforts to forge cross-ideological coalitions in opposition to US foreign policy (which overwhelmingly harms nonwhites) instead of denigrating the few members of Congress willing to do this as "white nationalism enablers."

I do understand the importance of cross-ideological coalitions, the Lee/Sanders/Murphy push in the Senate was a good example of that. I just don't see Tucker as a good faith actor and one progressives should align with because his views are rooted in white nationalism.

Most people in politics and media are ultimately "bad faith actors." They don't have to be fundamentally pure and noble to effectively bring about positive outcomes, such as curtailing US foreign policy.
