He mentioned this tidbit from his website on TV this week:

"Felix Sater: Sater, formerly a senior advisor to the Trump Organization, is a Russian-born Bayrock associate with extensive involvement in organized crime. In 2015, he wrote an email to Trump’s lawyer, Cohen, referencing then-candidate Trump saying: “Our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.”

Namely that the Trump fans think Tucker destroyed Swalwell in this interview - and that Swalwell is an unhinged lunatic.

There is seriously an alternative universe out there - and it's bigger than folks might realize.

...as I cannot stand the shrill rapid-fire ranting of the little tucker pucker bucker cucker ducker.

The only time I have ever seen him really shut up with a stunned look on his face was when he decided to interview the Oracle of Los Angeles, who is a practicing witch and absolutely unimpressed by Pucker. She's the daughter of a friend of mine -- we're out of touch now, but she grew up with my own daughter, so I can say I knew her when. Her interview was a marvel to behold.

and the U.S. ambassador to Seychelles. His step mother was a Swanson heiress. Carlson seems to have led a very privileged life.

They're so busy fighting liberals and Democrats and protecting our criminal president that they don't even stop to think whose side they're really on - and whose side Trump is on, either. Swallwell shut Tucker Carlson up masterfully, with poise an aplomb.

and stop talking over Rep. Swalwell when he tries to answer his inane questions maybe Fucker could understand a little better. What's the point of having guests on your "show" if all you're going to do is talk all the time?

Carlson has always been a smarmy little creep. I'd like to punch him in the nose if it wasn't always stuck up in the air so far. I'd need a ladder to reach it.

Cannot let the other person finish a comment and seems to be losing it. Then he has to end it because he will explode.

It is ironic after 911 and the Bush Administration, that we have righties now wanting suspects treated leniently and even deferentially.

The Defendant gets the evidence against them after being charged. It would be ridiculous to give it to them as the investigation goes along.
