He embarrassed the Democratic ticket, already mortally weakened at the top, with his quirky campaign appearances and speeches.

Tucker Carlson says no Americans have died from radical Islam. History says otherwise.
Speaking in a recent interview with The American Conservative, Carlson flatly declared that radical Islam has not killed a single American in nearly a quarter century.

In Texas, A 400-Acre Muslim Development Sparks Controversy
JOSEPHINE, Texas – This rural town with farmland stretching to the horizon might as well be a million miles away from New York City with its skyscrapers and big-city worries. More than a decade later, as Muslim migration to Texas has increased, a similar uproar has risen over a proposed Muslim-focused neighborhood anchored by a mosque in rural Texas, some 40 miles from Dallas. Promotional materials first described EPIC City, named after the East Plano Islamic Center, as the “epicenter of Islam in America.” At the Josephine City Council meeting, a resident of Armenian descent said people should be aware that, in his view, Islam is only peaceful when it is not in control. “Islam is not truly a religion of peace,“ he added. ”Once they get to a certain point in a culture, they start to ravage it from within.”
