hold on. what you just said doesn't make sense. >> so, tucker, let me answer you directly. the reason i used that word for a decade, i have referred to people who violently assault police officers as terrorists. i have done so over and over and over, again. if you look at all the assaults we have seen across the count i have called that terrorism over and over, again. that being said, tucker, i agree with you. itself a mistake to say that yesterday and the reason is what you just said which is we have now had a year of democrats and the media twisting words, and trying to say that all of us are terrorists. >> backs in the corner. tucker giving that quizzical look he practices so hard. and then, he had to -- he did the twist, hoping that by blaming the media, blaming democrats, carlson would get back on his side. didn't work. according to cnn's daniel dale, ted cruz called the capitol assault a terrorist attack at least 17 previous times in official written statements, and tweets, and remarks at senate hearings and in interviews. but the issue isn't his hypocrisy, really, only his abject subordination of himself.
