Tucker Carlson Absolutely Shreds ‘Evil’ House Republican for Suggesting Gaza Should Be Nuked, Calls on GOP to Expel Him

 

Tucker Carlson tore into Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) during a recent episode of his online show, going so far as to call Fine “evil” and questioning how he has not been expelled from the Republican Party.

“Congressman Randy Fine of Florida. And he said this the other day on Fox News last week, quote: “In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here in Gaza. There is something deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated.” So we’re going to nuke Gaza, because of its culture,” began Carlson, who was speaking with veteran journalist Glenn Greenwald.

“We’re going to kill everybody because we don’t like the culture, which by the way, lots of Christians in Gaza, Muslims in Gaza,” Carlson added, as Greenwald interjected, “Just innocent people in Gaza of all kinds.”

“Of course, but like to say there’s some like Gazan culture that’s cohesive. It’s like what? But we’re going to kill them all because we don’t like their culture. And so I didn’t believe that was real. I didn’t really think he was a member of Congress, I texted a friend of mine,” Carlson continued.

“He’s newly elected, like in the last [month], he filled Matt, I think Mike, it was Mike Waltz, Matt Gaetz’s seat, one or the other,” Greenwald added.

“It was Waltz,” Carlson clarified.

“Waltz, yeah. So I texted a friend of mine in Congress, is this really a member of Congress? It’s like, I don’t even know what to say to that. But that, first of all, it’s evil. But how can you say something like that and not get expelled from Congress or the Republican party? How can that person be a member of the Republican Party? I don’t understand,” insisted Carlson.

“So let me say two things about that. And yes, Randy Fine is very real. I’ve been watching him for a while now, ever since Trump endorsed him as this ‘America First’ candidate. He had served in the Florida Senate, in the Florida legislature, maybe the Florida House, but one of those two bodies, he was a member of the Florida– hates DeSantis, hates him. He hates DeSantis. He like has a feud with DeSantis and his entire political existence is centered around a foreign country, which is Israel, not the United States. He barely ever talks about the United States,” Greenwald said.

“So that’s ‘America First?’” fumed Carlson.

Later in the conversation, Carlson says, “But I don’t know that I can support a party with someone like Randy Fine in it. I don’t understand, like, how could someone like, Randy Fine, I mean, that’s so disgusting.”

“It’s demented, that is psychotic,” Greenwald replied.
