For many, the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial was a blessing — a rare instance in which a violent cop, who had been caught on video murdering George Floyd, was prosecuted for his wrongdoings. But for conservative commentators, it was a nightmare. Tuesday night saw one pundit after another losing their stuff. There was Greg Gutfeld blurting out his bizarre, “selfish” reason for liking the verdict. There was Ben Shapiro trolling. There was Tomi Lahren spouting nonsense. (For the record, Nancy Pelosi said some dumb stuff, too.)
Naturally, Tucker Carlson was not a disappointment. The Fox News star devoted a good chunk of his night’s show to the verdict. He claimed that the jury only voted guilty because they were afraid of Black Lives Matter protesters. He gave airtime to Candace Owens. He also spoke with Ed Gavin, a former corrections officer from New York City, but their chat ended prematurely when Gavin dared criticize Chauvin’s actions.
21 hours ago Carlson's nightly show Tucker Carlson Tonight was the No. 1 cable news program in the country in March. It was the second highest-rated on cable news last.

Gavin said he thought Chauvin’s actions were “excessive” — a word that set Carlson off. He quickly interrupted him, saying, “The guy who did it looks like he’s doing to spend the rest of his life in prison. I’m kind of more worried about the rest of the country, thanks to police inaction, which if you haven’t noticed is boarded up.” He then abruptly launched into laughter that can only be called maniacal. He then suddenly cut Gavin off as he tried to elaborate, saying, “Nope. You’re done.”
2 days ago An unearthed page from Tucker Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook went viral this week, apparently linking the controversial Fox News host to an assassin who killed Harvey Milk, California. Tucker Carlson Tonight was the third-highest-rated cable news show as of March 2018. In October 2018, Tucker Carlson Tonight was the second-highest rated cable news show in prime time, after The Sean Hannity Show with Sean Hannity, with 3.2 million nightly viewers. 'Tucker Carlson Originals' launched on Fox Nation Friday with a jaw-dropping episode, 'Chicago in Crisis,' that showed how the Left’s policies have led to a crime spike in Chicago.
The exchange prompted some unkind words for Mr. Carlson.

Never forget, Tucker Carlson knows that he is a weak, unimportant person propped up solely by family money and privilege.
He is abjectly terrified of the idea of a fair society because he knows he would cease to even exist without his unearned power. https://t.co/0wDTigK7ju

The way in which Carlson short-circuits, laughs manically, and cuts off a guest who doesn't follow the party line on Chauvin (don't talk about what he did, but how unfairly he has been treated) is pretty telling. https://t.co/icqu2YVKhC

To others, though, it was a blast.

Eventually someone singled out Carlson’s mad laugh.

And some postulated that perhaps Carlson doesn’t believe any of this, that it’s all performative, played for viewers for whom he has nothing but contempt.
What fascinates me about Tucker Carlson and his ilk is the utter contempt they show for their audience…and the audience just happily goes along with it

Tucker Carlson unleashed another Joker-hyena laugh on Wednesday night, but even he wasn’t laughing about the discovery of his yearbook photo. As seen below, Tucker even took a few moments to condemn “a mentally unbalanced, middle-aged man,” who he blasted as a “minion” of Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. He was talking about Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple, and Tucker appeared to feel terribly apprehensive about Wemple’s discovery (who Tucker said “called around to see if we did anything naughty at the age of 19″) of Tucker’s 1991 yearbook photo.
Certainly sounds like Tucker is trying to get ahead of an embarrassing story here. pic.twitter.com/l8LyLkMQRI

There’s a damn good reason why Tucker was nervous, and that’s because his college yearbook photo caption was damn bad. The caption identifies the bow-tie sporting future Fox News host as a member of the “Dan White Society,” which references the murderer of Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official (White also assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone at City Hall). The caption also articulates Tucker’s allegiance with the “Jesse Helms Foundation,” which references the former ultra-conservative (and noted segregationist) senator from North Carolina.
Perhaps this is the story that @TuckerCarlson was trying to get ahead of. In his college yearbook, he listed himself as a member of the 'Dan White Society.'

The Wrap has confirmed the realness of Tucker’s college yearbook photo with a statement from a Trinity College spokesperson, who also pointed out that these clubs likely didn’t exist, meaning that Tucker had invented them for the caption:

A representative for Trinity College confirmed the veracity of the yearbook entry to TheWrap… The spokesperson pointed to a digitized version of the yearbook, which features the entry on page 186, and added that the so-called “society” didn’t seem to exist at the school and was only mentioned in Carlson’s entry. A review of the yearbook by TheWrap found no other mentions of a “Dan White Society.”
“While I cannot speak to the yearbook process in 1991, current practice is that only a student’s name, home state and/or country, and the student’s major are listed with their photos,” the Trinity College representative said when asked whether Carlson submitted the identifier himself.

Tucker probably thought this was a “clever” caption at the time, although he sure doesn’t seem pleased about its discovery these days.
