Fox News’s Tucker Carlson offered praise Wednesday night for Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “economic patriotism” platform that would invest $2 trillion in green research and technology over the next decade.
“The truth is that Washington policies, not unstoppable market forces, are a key driver of the problems American workers face. From our trade agreements to our tax code, we have encouraged companies to invest abroad, ship jobs overseas and keep wages low,” Carlson said, continuing to read an extended monologue on the topic before revealing it was an excerpt from a policy proposal by Warren.
“Nobody you voted for said that or would ever say it,” Carlson said, adding that “many of Warren’s policy prescriptions make obvious sense,” such as the federal government buying U.S.-made products whenever possible and scaling up apprenticeship programs.

I’ve been saying nationalism leads to statism for decades. Until 2 years ago most conservatives mostly agreed with me. Maybe they’ll agree with me again soon. The question is, will they care? In others words the statism seems to be going from bug to feature before our very eyes. https://t.co/HbkBacoGn1
