Hilarious: Tucker Carlson Pronounces Beto O'Rourke's Campaign for President "Dead;" Mocks Media's Infatuation With Him

Video below the fold; it's the opening segment.

He mentions the very-rich trust fund Irish WASP's refusal to donate more than 1/3 of one percent to charity, and his claim that essentially his whole life counts as charity.

From The Federalist:

Last night, The Washington Post reported that Beto O'Rourke released his tax returns for the past ten years. Of course, the feel-good, inevitably government-expanding presidential contender should probably have been more hesitant to release his returns because it doesn’t take much sleuthing to figure out from them that the O'Rourkes made $370,412 in 2017 while giving a measly $1,166 of that income to charity. As The Post noted, this makes Beto's charitable giving less than one-third of 1 percent of his household income.
