Fox News host Tucker Carlson found himself in rare agreement with Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday over the announcement of Amazon’s new headquarters, specifically the one to be established in New York.
Carlson cited a tweet in which Ocasio-Cortez slammed the tax breaks the company, headed by multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos, has been given by New York state in exchange for its decision to set up shop in Queens.
“I hate to admit it, but she makes a very good point,” Carlson said.
Ocasio-Cortez has sparred with Carlson’s network in recent days, tearing apart a panel that was mocking her for not being financially able to move to Washington, D.C. full time until her congressional salary kicks in.

Why does he “hate to admit it”?
For sure, acknowledging someone has a cogent, rational point of view on an issue is a difficult thing to do. It’s so counterintuitive.
Please. Like he gives a shit about Amazon.
Also, Like @mattinpa said yesterday, funny how the rhetoric changes when a suit is filed.
No mention of dismembering the intern.
Yeah, this all boils down to Tucker’s Orange God feuding with Bezos-ebub.
Because Focks News has a policy of being “fair and balanced”, meaning that if someone is telling the truth, they have to provide a lie (or several lies) to balance it. Tucker is embarrassed that he couldn’t come up with a lie off the top of his head. Hence, he hates to admit it. If he does this often enough, it may cost him his job.
