“Tucker has had countless opportunities to explain to his viewers that the election was not stolen.

“Behind the heavily guarded walls of the White House, everyone has gone crazy. Just this week the Biden administration declared that a biological man who wears a dress is now a female admiral. “And then they sent that brave four-star female admiral out to deliver a speech that read like something out of a D-Day documentary. “Come on. They’re daring …

“These are people who thought the election was stolen. They had some evidence to support that view. It was not a free and fair election.

“Last night on this show we made a brief, offhand joke about the Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and this morning we discovered our error. “It turns out that Buttigieg is not a dwarfish fraud whose utter mediocrity indicts the class that produced him. No, not at all. “Pete Buttigieg was once the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. So understandably, …

“Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child – paternity leave, they call it – trying to figure out how to breastfeed. No word on how that went.

Media Matters has the transcript: SEN. RON JOHNSON (GUEST): These mandates are driven by the bait and switch of the FDA that we now have an approved vaccine. We do not have an approved vaccine in America. They did it for the Comirnaty — it’s available, I guess, in Europe, but the Pfizer vaccine available in the U.S. is not …

Mediaite reports: Tucker Carlson attempted to completely rewrite the history of the January 6 Capitol riot by severely downplaying it on his show Thursday night, saying those who breached the Capitol looked like “tourists.” He also suggested that federal agents played a key role in storming the building.

Media Matters reports: TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): The real problem, according to Chuck Schumer, is that we have fake vaccine cards — not fentanyl — fake vaccine cards coming from Mexico.
