No one is celebrating Tucker though, most haven't even watched the thing.
Tucker may have asked some gotcha questions (the population of Iran is certainly not one of them) but it's not like Ted Cruz deserved a better set of questions, he fumbled throughout, even when asked legitimate questions and given the space to express his views, his answers were fucking dumb. Even from a christianity point of view he makes no sense, the guy thinks his religious duty is to stand up for a political entity that's carpet bombing children to ashes, he didn't deserve a fair chance, even though I think he got one.
I am personally celebrating the fact that AIPAC, an organisation lobbying for the betterment of Israelis over Americans, is finally being scrutinised publicly on the most famous platforms out there. Not long ago, whenever I had to bring AIPAC up, I had to educate people about its existence first, often met with objections and accusation of conspiratorial thinking. It's great that Americans are waking up to the dangers they pose, left or right, it's great to see. The discourse around Israel has finally changed, I never thought I'd live to see this day, it doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things but one step forward at least.
EDIT
just rewatched the clip
- Tucker: how many people live in Iran?
- Ted: I don't know the population
- Tucker: at all?
- Ted: no, I don't know the population
Come on, it's not like he was cut off or anything, utterly clueless!
