John, what exactly was going through Tucker Carlson’s mind when he went on this absolutely bizarre rant about Adam on his primetime Fox News show last night?

“It’s not the cartoon demons you’ve got to worry about — it’s weak men in positions of power. They’re the most dangerous. Men with no principles but the desire for self-preservation. Hollow men, who live in terror of being revealed for who they really are. Men who will do anything to save themselves. That’s who you should be afraid of. And you can see that in our current moment — the weakest are the most destructive... How old was Adam Schiff before a girl other than his sister kissed him voluntarily? It makes you shudder to think about. These are sad, insecure, broken men, filled with envy and bitterness from their lonely childhoods. They hate you because they hate themselves. It’s not their masculinity that’s toxic — it’s their lack of it.”

Yeah. It’s bizarre. And while we are not trained in whatever psychological phenomena is at play here — it certainly looks like a bad case of projection to us.

But there is method to Carlson’s madness. Adam has been calling out Tucker Carlson and his boss, Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch, for their complicity in the lies Fox was telling about the 2020 election. Carlson not only resents Adam exposing his shameful duplicity — admitting privately Trump lost but saying the opposite on the air — but he hopes to sway California voters against Adam.

The last thing Tucker wants is Adam in the Senate with an even more powerful platform to stand up to him and the other propagandists at Fox.

Adam is sure to face many more attacks from Tucker Carlson and the far-right media — as they get increasingly desperate. So John, chip in any amount to Adam’s Senate campaign today to help us urgently respond to Tucker and the far right’s attacks >>

We’ll have much more to say about Tucker soon — after Kevin McCarthy gave him exclusive access to the footage from January 6, 2021, he is sure to misrepresent the footage to cover up the real threats to our democracy.

We won’t let them.

So if you can chip in any amount to Adam’s campaign today, it will go a long way towards holding Tucker and the insurrection enablers at Fox accountable. Thanks for your help.
