MASSIVE AANOUNCEMENT, TREY GOWDY JUST RELEASED EVERYTHING ON LIVE TV!
Scott illiterate Lee literally wrote a book together about unifying the
political divide and he joins me now congressman good to see you great to have you with us
tonight just so you know when you listen to that intro and the
you know this idea that anyone who wears a make America hat great hat is is
basically you know running into the same kind of buzzsaw that happened in your state over
the Confederate flag for example and that the president is seen by
Democratic candidates as a racist and called that on a daily basis I'm just
stunned at that folks can look into other people's hearts I've never tried to do it
I don't assign motives to people I like Juan Williams but he used just
used the phrase war on civil rights that is incredibly charged language
particularly if you're a person of color and you hear that a party has a war on civil rights
you mentioned temps God and his reference to unemployment and underemployment being
down he's also the author of something called Opportunity Zones
it was Republicans who passed criminal justice reform Republican House
Republican Senate signed by a republic and so Timmy's exactly right we need to talk about
policy the rhetoric coming from some Republicans is indefensible it is
it should be categorically rejected but when I look at the Republican Party
I see Tim Scott and I see at least two phonic I don't see Steve King well when you look
at you know you talk about looking into someone's heart I was going through
some of the notes from when I talked to Senator Scott and and he
essentially you know he was asked about Jeff Sessions and why he didn't come out and condemn
him more forcefully over the issue of separation of families no he said
because I took the time to get to know him and I don't believe that what
is being said about it was accurate I was with Tim Tim told then-senator suctions I'm
not going to vote for you unless you come to Charleston I was at the
table there were ministers of color there were law enforcement officers of
color and Tim was not going to support him until he knew and his well of souls that this
is somebody who understands the plight or at least makes the effort to
understand the plight of black and brown people so that
is not rhetoric from Tim Scott he actually did it I was at the table this is what Republicans
I think need to come to grips with and this is advice that
I got from a Democrat yeah luis Gutierrez who told me this people
will vote for you if they don't like you they'll never vote for you if they think you don't
like them so the policies the tems gossiped Elise Stefanik s-- the new generation
of Republicans they're doing great but we have to be very mindful of
the rhetoric that we use and the rhetoric that we condone on the Republican side or
we will continue to struggle in the communities of color in this
country electorally what do you see when you look into the
eyes of the boy from Covington High School and the Native American elder I see what happens
when the media decides to make something viral they could have picked
a lot of things that happen over this weekend including lots of examples
of my fellow citizens being kind and generous and considerate to one another that just doesn't
go viral it doesn't make the news I don't know either of the people
in this video on ously because I don't know I could care less what they
think about almost any issue that impacts our country so at least take the time to get
to know someone before you assign motives or assign what is in their
heart I just think it's a sad reflection of where we are politically
and media-wise that something like this would dominate the news cycle and not examples of
my fellow citizens being considerate and kind to one another because
that far outpaces anything like what was represented in that video
good evening welcome to tucker carlson tonight for a few overheated hours on saturday a group
of boys from a Catholic High School in Kentucky became the most hated
figures in America television anchors denounced them as bigots
journalists with Harvard degrees call them privileged Republican commentators scolded
them as bad Christians famous actors suggested they should be hunted down
and punched in the face some on social media called for them to be
killed the boys stood accused of mocking an elderly Vietnam veteran an American Indian
man and doing it in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial now the story had no
inherent new significance it didn't mobilize troops
remove markets or reopen the government but as a symbolic event it's hard to remember
a moment more galvanizing in Washington as they read their Twitter feeds
the leaders of this country were in rare and solemn agreement these
teenage monsters these remorseless thugs from our backward provinces are living examples
of all that is rotten in immoral about America that was a consensus
on Saturday pretty much everybody agreed with it and then
suddenly the Covington Catholic story exploded pop like an overfilled balloon animal new
footage of the event emerged and it turns out the boys never attacked anyone
in fact they stood in place as others approached and harassed them
people did indeed scream racial epithets at the Lincoln Memorial over the weekend but
it wasn't Catholic kids from
