Her husband was a Wisconsin Congressman until a couple of years ago. Glad he's gone. Sad to see she gets face time.

who work for that network would get a clue. I am not talking about hard working people like this cameraman who need this job, I am talking about their "talent" that continue to back f--king fascists.

I doubt he will even give it a second thought.

He should be labeled As Fox's Treasonous Liar!

Anybody is a target, and in danger. R.I.P. journalists, obviously being targeted.

Served his media masters with dedication for a paycheck. Not to make light of his death, because they're all sad, but I suspect underlings are in it for career reasons and not usually ideological ones.

Is angry Americans need to surround Tucker's home and engage in 'legitimate political discourse' like they did a few years ago.
