‘Let’s do the real stuff’: Tucker takes a shot at Trump admin for ‘feeding me appetizers’

Tucker Carlson took the stage at TPUSA’s Student Action Summit in Tampa on Friday and called on conservatives to cut the BS.

Always one to keep it real, Carlson appeared to knock President Donald Trump’s administration for doing more grandstanding than affecting change.

Tucker hits conservatives for taking fake victory laps: “You spend all day telling me that it’s so important that boys not play on girls soccer teams or whatever. I agree.

“If you deny people what they actually want long enough, and instead substitute things that you claim they should want, like bombing Iran … Or you spend all day telling me that it’s so important that boys not play on girls soccer teams or whatever. I agree. I hate the tranny stuff passionately.  I think you should keep the boys off girls’ soccer teams,” he said to the gathered audience. “But, I don’t know, it kind feels like you’re feeding me appetizers. At some point, I want to look around and see a better country. I want to see a country I recognize.”

“I don’t want to see people sleeping on the sidewalk. I don’t want to see people ODing on drugs. I want to know where those drugs are coming from. Why can’t you stop it? You’ve got the US military. Don’t you have Seal Team Six? What are they doing today? Don’t you have Delta Force? Are you going to give me another segment about how impressive the US military is? I believe you,” he passionately argued.

“Why aren’t they employed to make my country better? Why are my cities disgusting? I don’t even want to go there. It smells like weed and halal food. And you’re lecturing me about how it’s a great moral victory that I kicked the boys off the girls’ soccer team? Good. I’m so glad,” Carlson added. “But let’s do the real stuff like making New York liveable. And creating an economy where my kids can have kids.”
