Wow. They're just out there openly insulting our intelligence aren’t they.
He told you he loved Stalin but you didn’t ask why. That would have been an interesting conversation 😂
Forget the people talking about platforming, I’m wondering why Tucker didn’t push back even for 5 minutes of Fuentes the way he did with Ted Cruz. I was happy to see Cruz feet held to the fire, do the same with others especially when they hold vile views. It’s not difficult. If he did there would be no controversy.
Megyn should let the audience to ask Tucker questions!
So no push back during interviews?
