The Dispatch: “It’s a question you hear a lot around Washington, D.C., where the former Fox News star is usually referred to by his first name alone, not because of his fame—like Hillary or Oprah—but because pretty much everyone had some personal contact with him. Tucker was such a man about town and media fixture that, in 2021, 16 reporters told the New York Times that he was a great source for Trump White House gossip and news.”
“Pretty much everyone, including those who knew him well, remains perplexed by his transformation in the Trump era…”
“What happened to Tucker is that he went from being a P.J. O’Rourke libertarian in the 1990s to an Alex Jones nationalist in the 2020s. Why did it happen? There are various theories—fame, ego, power, money, ideology, lunacy. But none is satisfying by itself.”
