Honestly, that might be this Wemple guy's intent... Tucker had an ongoing feud with him towards the beginning of his primetime run on FOX. He butted heads with him probably as often as Kurt "Tentacle Enthusiast" Eichenwald, and even sold Wemple themed mugs:
I think the intent is to encourage in-fighting within this community. The ideal situation for the opposition is to divide Trump supporters along certain controversial issues, and since most are against Tucker they want to toss him some support but more importantly they just want to keep the issue alive for its potential to cause division. They don’t really care if we support Tucker or not. They only care that it’s an issue that has potential to cause in-fighting and weaken the community.
Note that Bannon saying not to discuss the Tucker issue is ironically a meta issue that has possibly more potential to cause division than the original issue, since most on here are against Tucker but people seem fairly evenly split between thinking the issue should or shouldn’t be discussed.
I don’t think that any mainstream media personality should be totally trusted, and once they take an anti-trump position like Tucker did by attacking Sidney Powell they should at least be treated with a high degree of suspicion if not totally abandoned. However, to the extent that a guy like Tucker might still support Trump on certain issues, he could be viewed as useful for that purpose—he just can’t be trusted.
