Tucker Carlson may have found a kindred spirit: Graham ‘the Totenkopf’ Platner

The two men keep reinventing themselves, and they currently seem to share a lot of the same ugly values.

Andrea Widburg | May 2, 2026

A recent New York Times interview with Tucker (and I only know the snippets on X because I don’t have a subscription) revealed yet again how far Tucker’s current values are from the persona he created to bring home the big bucks from Fox News’s audience.  Now, the man who once sneered at Democrat extremism wants to interview Maine’s inevitable Democrat Senate candidate, Graham “the Totenkopf” Platner, an open communist.

One of life’s least pleasant experiences is realizing you’ve been played for a fool. Knowing that someone could slip under your guard and was probably laughing at you behind your back is offensive at a very basic level. And that’s how I, and probably a lot of others, feel about Tucker Carlson.

For years, he appeared on Fox News, stating core conservative ideas in cogent and entertaining ways, while hosting guests who did the same. At his peak, Tucker was the most-watched host in cable news. No wonder Fox News was paying him roughly $15 million to $20 million per year.

And all the time, it seems Tucker and many of his guests were playing us for fools. They told us they were constitutional conservatives who believe that you cannot have a nation if you do not have borders or that we needed to stop fighting wars that did not actually benefit America or Americans, and who supported Donald Trump because he stood for these principles.

I have no doubt that Carlson, Owens, Greene, et al., think Platner is just the bee's knees.

Mark Halperin said Friday on 2WAY's "The Morning Meeting" that an NRSC source tells him the opposition research they have yet to release on presumed Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner is so damaging that he won't just lose the election, "he'll have to leave the state."
