This sets a new standard for how irrelevant the majority of this so-called "conservative" politics board is


Maybe this is why Louisiana politics still sets the standard for corruption

Are you arguing it didn’t happen

HIs description of "detained" happens everyday in airports all across the country...OUR country. Courtesy of the TSA.

He is certainly milking it.

This is the correct answer.

And so is this.

He said his producer was detained until he answered questions as to what was discussed in his interview with Huckabee.

Not for a security concern.

Not for a passport issue.

Have you ever heard of TSA doing that here with foreign press? I haven’t.

Probably happens all the time now in Europe with their speech restrictions.

Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Israel can surely detain journalists if they want to, just like we can decide we won't give countries $3.5 billion in annual aid if they do that to our citizens. But if we exercised our rights just like Israel does theirs, the Israel defenders in this thread would be outraged, because their primary allegiance isn't to the survival and well-being of this country.

Of course. And because we have free speech unlike Europe Tucker can call them out for it.

I’m at the front of the line asking for that to happen. They don’t need our money and they don’t act like our friends.

In this day and age I find it's getting harder to believe what he/she said if he/she makes money on clicks or views.

And let's face it...Tucker has enough money to never need to work again...but damned if most of them won't just step out of the spotlight and walk away.

Whoever leaked to the Daily Mail is certainly milking it. I posted his interview. He never said anything about being detained. But it seems he has more videos coming?

I watched the interview. Tucker's preface was him stopping the divide blah blah blah.

Yet he only cited Israel as getting Foreign aid and paying off the Congress critters. The new stats on Qatar came out and they are lobbyists in DC big time.

Tucker has said he wishes that Qatar could be the new Israel... This is where he loses me...

The interview was from a very holy man that made horrid allegations of Israel point blank executing a Christian through a window in his home.

I’m glad he was scooped up. We are populists, not conservatives. That old conservative stuff has evolved.

Truly amazing. Neocons are a belligerent strain of statist-fascism (hiding under the skirt of "Republicanism") for decades.

And yes, "Dual-Nationalism" is a problem.
