but you know ... a predominantly white already well developed neighborhood applying and lying for Federal grants designed to improve worn down neighborhoods doesnt fit the "democrats want to destroy the suburbs to steal votes" rhetoric.
fuck tucker carlson and the idiots who slurp his fluids up
Somehow carlson turns rich people trying to steal money for poor people into ... democrats want drug addicted vagrants on your suburban streets ... democrats bad, republicans will preserve your fragile white lily Andy Griffith life

tucker lie #1 :
"the Obama administration withheld more than $20 million in federal funds from Westchester County."
- this is a lie. Obama didnt with hold funds. Instead the govt found out that Westchester had been lying on their grant applications for years collecting over 50 million through the block development program. The govt stopped granting their applications in 2010.
trucker lie #2:
"To its credit, Westchester fought back, because it could afford good lawyers, and eventually won in court."
- this is a lie. They lost very quickly and Westchester promised to cure the fair housing requirement to receive the block development grant money but took them 9 years to actually do it and multiple times Westchester lied from 2010 to 2019 and HUD would check and find out they were lying.

Why would Tucker Carlson so blatantly lie?
its fucking weird |
I don’t know the story but if any local government lied to get federal money than that’s wrong under any rule. I really don’t think race had anything to do with it..it’s a liberal county, votes blue. I think it’s more a population density or just a nimby issue.
But I really do think think the federal government doesn’t have any business forcing re zoning laws to build high rise or lots of apartments…It’s more of an eye sore, traffic and population density issues.
Ill never forget I worked with a super liberal who knows Tim Kaine…the amount of hell she raised when an abandon mall project was to install affordable housing near her. All those progressives bitched and complained, finally stopped it. NIMBY always with the libs
