There's a difference between a conservative who entertains and an entertainer who pretends to be a conservative because he knows there's an audience.

Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity were laughed at by all on TOS for years for being weak kneed moderate little sisters. Now they're all kissing the boots of Tucker Carlson because he says America shouldn't be allowing people from failed nations into the USA.
The fact is that virtually all immigrants have always come here because the nations of their birth was failing them in some way. Guys like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein came from failing nations just like my great grandfather came from the collapsing Austro Hungarian empire
