He basically kept trying to say that they were ill chosen words. That he was referring specifically to persons who attacked police officers. Tucker pushed back against the idea that punching police officers constituted ‘terrorism.’ He cited his work getting 11 Senators to oppose certification of some electoral votes.. etc.... Tucker wasn’t buying the ill chosen words part.. citing his intelligence and carefulness with words.
But did he apologize for using those words or did he just try to explain it away.
