office. and then almost immediately the story fell apart. sunday night the newspaper was forced to make a devastating correction to the piece. in fact, the woman that kavanaugh supposedly attacked didn t remember anything about the event. and just like so many previous stories about brett kavanaugh, the whole thing turned out to be a crock. so last night kelly and pogevin on a show highly familiar with botched stories. the explanation don t blame us, blame our editors. what happened with that omission that the times later felt belonged in the piece? well, first of all, lawrence, there was zero intent to mislead anybody about the details of the incident. in your draft of the article, did it include those words that have since been added to the article? it did. it did. it did. so somewhere in the editing process those words were yeah, i think what happened actually was that, you know we her name and the times doesn t usually include the name of the
see being honored by the administration right now. it s also important that we stop seeing religion used as a kind of cuddle as if god belonged to a political party and if he did i can t imagine it would be the one that sent the current president into the white tucker: um-huh. it s important that we don t use religion as a cudgel gel. pete buttigieg is not interested in certain categories of sin. authorities raided the home of an illinois abortion doctor and there they found thousands of preserved aborted fetal remains. he had applied his trade it turns out south bend, indiana. the city that saint pete is the mayor of. but weirdly so far buttigieg has not commented on the incident in any way. why is that? philip is the white house correspondent over real clear politics he has been reporting. thanks so much for coming on. so, just to be clear, this is a story that some of our
is a good governance activist in washington who is a respected figure and had provided this name. a were toker clinton lawyer? he did at one point, i understand, do work for williams and connolly. if we are talking about credibility. right. i understand it s relevant background. in this case it was very short mention and we only talked in brief terms about what he is doing right now. so we didn t see all of that context to be necessary. but, i understand why you are bringing it up and i think it s fair. tucker: um-huh. just a short mention. of course it s the critical claim in the story/book. we left out some context it. turns out some people think it s relevant when a character destroying smear comes from political activists rather than from, say, ordinary citizens. you ought to be able to know that when you are reading the piece. the times disagrees though. they don t think you don t have a right to that context. of course these are also the people who took the trump doss
that maybe there is a moral edge, a moral problem to abortion? so i reached out to his campaign over the weekend repeatedly. and i didn t hear back from them at all about clopper who been operating for decades in his backyard. i reached out to his municipal office. municipal employee who answered the phone referred me back to buttigieg s presidential campaign. radio silent. buttigieg more than happy to make statements about pro-choice and imposing regulations on abortion clinics. in fact he has trumpeted his own defense of an abortion clinic in south bend currently operating without a license. what he hasn t done is comment on the specifics of this case. it s been complete radio silence. tucker: interesting. so he stood up on behalf of an abortion clinic operating without a license to be clear. he did to be clear. a different one than clopper was operating at. this story is thought going to go away. if you remember in 2016 president trump made his pro-life position a promise
for unintentional killings. instead of getting life in prison his son s murderer just faces 17 years behind bars. the suspect now is sitting back and relacking because he don t have a life sentence. he have expiration date. is he going to get out soon 12 or 13 years from now. and we have to walk around he can walk around and relax while my son lay in a cemetery. that s not justice at all. that s not. tucker: sad to tell you that story is not unique at all. he reduced charges for several other murder charges since taking office. meanwhile democrats in congress have been pushing hard for national red flag law allow police to seize firearms from individuals who have not each been charged with a crime much less convicted of one. it s not a good idea. if you are going to pass a law like that, you might want to apply it to say gang members who are responsible for the overwhelming majority of gun murders in this country.
