Tucker said Erica Kirk and Candace Owens just have "disagreements." I explain exactly why that's a lie and how it works. Plus: Candace finds Israel's bat signal in a garage, Fauci's vaccine texts…
I guess technically they do, but I would say it's a lot more than a disagreement, wouldn't you? Framing anything-- Framing the situation that's been going on between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens as a disagreement is a lie, is dishonest.
I mean, remember? Because it is a Republican conservative virtue to respectfully have disagreements, but they don't have respectful civil disagreements.
I mean, technically, a rapist and their victim have a disagreement, wouldn't you say? But this is a conflation and a confusion.
There are parameters to what we consider disagreements and what we consider unethical behavior.
Objectively, morally, repugnantly wrong, morally wrong behavior on the part of Candace Owens towards a grieving widow, harassing a grieving widow, making false accusations, allegations, creating false conspiracies, peddling lies, creating a false narrative about all these close friends and family being responsible or somehow, somehow culpable in Charlie Kirk's death and murder and trying to pin it on his close friends and family and his own wife as being a part of it.
To say that you're close and love both Erika Kirk and Candace Owens- To love the abused and their own abuser? I mean, [chuckles] you know, it's one thing to say you love Charlie Kirk and someone he was debating on campus, but not Charlie Kirk and his murderer.
This is not in the realm of civil discourse, political or ideological disagreements.
This is about ethical behavior that we... and unethical behavior that we don't tolerate, that we judge as morally wrong.
I mean, how do you think Erika Kirk feels? Do you think when she sees Tucker Carlson saying she loves Erika Kirk and Candace Owens, do you think Can- Erika says, "Yeah, and I love Tucker back"? I don't think so.
I don't think someone who's been abused and harassed by an evil, vindictive person accusing her of being responsible or somehow culpable in her husband's murder, and someone who sowed doubt in her very fabric of her marriage, someone who's created doubt and created a whole whirlwind of millions and millions and millions of mommy sleuths believing somehow that Erika Kirk is suspect, I don't think she views that as a disagreement.
