(Townhall) Donald Trump sat down with Tucker Carlson for an interview which dropped on Twitter minutes before the first Republican debate, which the former president ditched. He explained that decision with some soundbites that were classic Trump. From Jeffrey Epstein to whether Democrats want to murder him, the 45-minute interview wasn’t anything new.
The former president did say that there are many fine Democrats, but there is a “savage animal” sect who are sick people who hate our country. Those sickos he mentioned aren’t difficult to identify. It’s those who weaponized the media, the intelligence community, and the Justice Department to push a variety of hoaxes and conspiracy theories to destroy his administration (via CBS News):
TUCKER: “Why aren’t you at the Fox News debate tonight…?”
TRUMP: “Do I sit there for an hour or 2 hours, whatever it’s going to be, and I get harassed by people that shouldn’t even be running for president? Should I be doing that?” pic.twitter.com/XKbdQNYbOx
