What Mitch is saying is that responsible politicians base their policies on Tucker Carlson and cannot think for themselves?????

[@unmoored7414]

He is still reluctant while in office to call out Trump and his MAGA supporters directly, for fear of derailing recent progress on the funding for the Ukraine.

[@CuttinBlade]

[@moonasha]

bro you realize tucker is playing ball for a regime that persecutes christians, right? Every single american sect of christianity has been put on the same terror list as ISIS in russia. Jehovah's witnesses were put in jail for 7+ years for trying to spread their message, most had to leave the country. Tucker is a total grifter.

[@johnslugger]

*Mitch is saying Tucker Carlson controls Republican VOTES which is power!*

[@LanaW123]

Yes. That is exactly what it is. I am from Ukraine, and was telling Republicans that Tucker must be investigated on ties with Russia fir spreading Russian propaganda word to word, literally word to word. I can debunk every single lie Tucker told you but you will not listen to me, but to Tucker. So, yes, those politicians, including Green, Gaetz, Boebert, Ramaswami, Kennedy, Rand Paul can NOT think for themselves. Tucker did damage not only to America but to his own party but splitting it and creating chaos. So...who benefited from Tucker lies?? Yes! Russia and democrats!! Congratulations fir loosing elections again. And t$rmp COULD HAVE STOPPED IT BUT HE TOO LIKE DEMOCRATS IN 2020-2021 DECIDED TO RUN ON CRISIS. Shame on Republicans

It's easier to criticize someone on Fox News than it is to call out the MAGA followers grip on half of Congress.

[@rk5845]

You're a political ideolog and the problem with America, no one has a grip on congress the voters sent those people to represent them not Washingtons views. My representee was in congress way before Trump and MAGA and votes against all foreign aid because are district forbids it. So your political democrat talking points are invalid. Fact is we don't support NAZI NATO who goes around the world taking over smaller countries strong arming them into joining and paying for protection, instead of building up their own military. And another thing if you have issues with *Making America Great Again then go to another country you like. We don't want or need you here. America first is the way it's going to be. So, you Trump freaks better start liking the agenda. There will no longer be a government in America that thinks it don't have to listen to the people. And the people say no more money for Ukraine. As far as Tucker he offered Russia and Ukraine both a chance to interview and tell their side of it all. Suprise, surprise, Zelensky declined. Why because people might develop their own view other than what Washington is pushing to funnel money back into their pockets. The demonization of Ukraine started with Zelensky not answering the tuff questions and Washington not clarifying a clear plan of what Victory looks like. That falls on anyone in the house and senate on both sides who has the authority to put a bill on the table. And eighter side has or will give account to what is the end goal. Who fights a war with no plan of victory. Only America its why they end one and start another. Then have the balls to act like Jesus. Because the goal is to just keep the money printing machines printing as long as possible. But people like you only think one thing its MAGA. Your brain has major problems and needs to turn off the TV and quit eating what they feed you every day because you don't have the ability to think for yourself. Your probably 40 years old and still live with mommy.

[@whatgoesaroundcomesaround920]

W If you want to get that picky, we have a border with Russia, too. But since Russia is not strong enough to wage a land and sea war with us, they will attempt to gobble up smaller countries -- and their resources -- to gain that strength. Ukraine's wheat fields alone are worth the conquest, since Russia can assure cheap grain prices at home while holding other nations hostage through their need for that grain, particularly African nations whose governments are unstable and potentially could be overthrown by the local figure who can guarantee grain shipments. Every Eastern European nation has particular assets that Russia can use against us and our allies. To sit back and allow that to happen because our politicians here can't work together long enough to craft a bipartisan immigration/border security bill, is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Real border security includes that Alaskan border with Russia, and must include helping our friends defend themselves from that same enemy.

[@nonyabusiness557]

I would argue that the southern border isn't as bad as you yahoos think. Imagine a Europe where Putin is allowed to take land - as he did with Georgia - and use it as launching points into other territories. If he isn't stopped now, the southern border is going to be the LEAST of your worries.

[@andreamatheson5760]

Republicans destroyed the very recent border bill proposal that would have made a huge difference, because Trump wants to use the border as a political issue and not have Joe Biden sign the bill and therefore receive credit for it. Trump is hurting America. The bill was crafted in a bi-partisan manner by one of the most conservative Republicans in the senate, James Lankford. Many border problems could be on their way to being remedied if it wasn't for Trump.
