law enforcement involved, and waste money, government resources. it s called pulling a smolette. if there s one thing that ll hurt joy reid, it be comparing her to jussie smollett. tucker: we ve got a murder epidemic, a war brewing in eastern europe. now is not the time to tie up fbi resources with your fake hate crime claims. why hasn t joy reid been charged for lying about this hacking of her blog? isn t that fascinating? makes you wonder if you went to the officers and went, look, i wrote it. i had to do this with a camera. maybe she pulled some kind of deal or maybe she has a liberal media privilege but what would it look like if msnbc which, you know, carries water for the democrat party, and one of their top posts was arrested for pulling a smolette.
tucker: awful story out of chicago. a-year-old boy executed in broad daylight. one of the many casualties in the murder epidemic in that city. our chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher joins us tonight with an update to the story. hey, trace. hey, tucker, in court prosecutors told the jury three members of chicago s gang went to a local park and saw 9-year-old lee playing basketball. they talked to him, played with him, earned his trust and then they offered to buy him a juice box luring him into a side alley. while two of the gang members stood watch the third allegedly executed the boy. several shots point blank from a .40 caliber handgun. and as gruesome and heart rendering as the crime sounds, investigators say original plan was to kidnap the boy, torture him by cutting off his fingers and ears and then kill him. and why was he shot? because his father is an n. a rival gang that the suspect believe was responsible for killing one of their family members.
what he put out was just not enough. probably time for one more question. van, do you have anything? well, a couple of things. one is i i actually liked his plan better than you did. he just didn t seem to know what it was when he was on stage with you. i think he actually missed some opportunities to come back at you. so a couple of things i would say. number one, you were dealing with two problems and not one when you became the mayor of newark. one was you had a corrupt police department. you also had a murder epidemic. and you were a young mayor we knew each other then. trying to deal with two problems and not one. i do think that there were people who felt at the time at the community level that you were being, quote, unquote, tough on crime through a police department that you hadn t cleaned up yet. how do you respond to those people now? because i do think that what mr. king is saying is didn t you in some ways make same kind of mistake that biden did? i mean, maybe, you
