tucker: well, another fading celebrity fetishizing violence. a description about donald trump, actor johnny depp promoting his new pirates of the caribbean film the movie apparently tanked but instead of focusing on the film, he joked about murdering the president. here s part of what he said. when was the last time an actores assassinated a presiden? tucker: come on. sad.om speaking of presidents killed by actors, abraham lincoln has not held office for 152 years. it doesn t mean he s not around, though. the 16th president made an unexpected appearance at a minor league ball game in new york. he threw out the first pitch fo the hudson valley renegades. no one better than abee lincoln. the 16th president.
tucker: that is not the actual president lincoln. lincoln sunglasses were far more impressive than not. it comes pretty close, she s a director of this show. the great mike macedonia. our friend and coworker. president of the lincoln society in new york. at the society mission is to perpetuate the name, ideals, and distinctive appearance of our nations 16th president. that s exactly the kind of politics that everybody benefits from. thank you, mike macedonia. that s about it for us tonight. tune in every night at 8:00 for the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. don t forget the dvr if you haven t already. have a wonderful night. and more than anything, stay
tucker: that s a joke, you ve got to laugh. back to my point, georgia was supposed be won by republicans by at least 20 points, it was won by four points. why? because republicans keep losing their base, we are getting momentum. we re going to win the house in 2018. georgia wasn t supposed to be competitive and it was. this is a referendum on the president. people are retired of this nonsense. tucker: i guess if i were a partisan, i would be pretty happy with your response, because what you seem to be saying is everything is fine, make no changes, were doing great, were going to win. as i numbers matter, karen handel won a higher percentage of the vote than donald trump one and that district in november. you re moving in the wrong direction. but you don t see any need for a course correction at all? talking about change, talk about nancy pelosi, she s a great american, great democrat.
supporters to continue their efforts. they say this is really part of a movement. but it was not able to deliver for them this evening. again, the republican karen handel presumably going to washington to take tom price s old congressional seat. bret, back to you. bret: jonathan serrie in atlanta at the ossoff headquarters. georgia wasn t the site of the only special election tonight. voters in south carolina have elected republican ralph norman over his democrat challenger archie parnell. norman spoke to his supporters a short time ago. the people in this district decided to send a loud message today. i think the message is this. it s time to govern. it s time to get things done. it s time to go to work. everybody is pulling together. we can make the country as great as we can make it. we can make it a reality.
republicans by tucker: that is a joke, jose. you have to laugh or i think you take it seriously. georgia was supposed to be done by the republicans by 20 points. i was won by republicans by 4 points. why? republicans lose the race, we are gaining momentum. we will win the house in 2018. i m telling you. georgia wasn t even supposed to be competitive and it was because this is a referendum on the president. people are tired of this nonsense. tucker: if i were a partisan, if i m not really but i would be happy with your response because what you seem to say everything is fine. make no changes. we are doing great. we are going to win. when, act in in when in facta numbers matter karen handel won a higher percentage of the vote than trump won in the same election. you are losing ground.
