Far-Left Podcaster Claims Many Liberals Would Vote for Tucker Carlson Over AOC
Sean James
Liberal commentator Briahna Joy Gray said she knows many fellow liberals who would rather vote for Tucker Carlson to be president than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Gray shared that detail during the latest episode of her Bad Faith podcast on Thursday. She said that realization put her between a rock and a hard place because she would not recommend Democrats vote for either one of them.
Its crazy, I know many people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC, Gray said. I am frustrated by that dynamic because I dont want Tucker Carlson to be president. I also cant see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC. These options hurt us all.
Gray expanded on her take, saying Carlson has said a lot of bad stuff in the past and referred to his comments on which immigrants assimilate best in the U.S. but said he could be quite appealing to voters following his recent rebirth.

For the record, I know of no real liberal who would ever vote for Carlson for anything. Also, I'm posting this for informational purposes only. I don't in anyway agree with or support Ms. Gray's position. But she is an influential voice and we should be aware of what is being said beyond this site. Thank you.

I missed her grudge against AOC: "Don't be like AOC and endorse genocide. Abandon Harris."

A fine example of going so far to the left that you wind up on the right. What kind of "far-left" idiots...
