Tucker Debates Rep. Maria Salazar Over Her Support For A No-Fly Zone In Ukraine, Her Push For Sending Weapons To Ukraine, And Her Amnesty Bill

Tucker bump for later...

[Jane Long]

Hear, hear.

Instead….this amnesty/CoC tool wants to give the millions of illegals “dignity”, with her absurd bill.

[cowboyusa]

It’s cause they are Hamiltonian Neo- Cons, and there base is pure Jacksonian's.

[RandFan]

You can see why she has been tapped and is on the (un)Intelligence committee and foreign affairs committee.

The party leaders are promoting her to those positions for a reason.

And there are dozens and dozens like her...

[ocrp1982]

“She’s everything that is wrong with the Republican party.”
EXACTLY RIGHT. If anyone didn’t notice she explicitly cited “brown” Americans in her disjointed, all-over-the-map responses.
My wife long ago noticed this as an issue with a great many RINO’s touting “Amnesty”.
My wife noted that very many Hispanic politicians readily identify with their Hispanic Heritage far more than they identify with anything American. She told me long ago this is a problem here in the USA. And, will be a problem in the future.
And, when you call them out, as Tucker did, they get very very defensive. Mimicking the old saying, “Thou Protesteth too much.”
BTW, before anyone gets too bent out of shape about our observation, my wife is not White. She was not born in the USA. She is a Legal Immigrant and Naturalized US Citizen, whom I met in college. She is from SE Asia.
Specifically, The Philippines. And, her dedication to our American Republic is as solid as Granite.
That said, this is a PATTERN. A PATTERN too obvious to anyone willing to pay attention.
Spanish descendants of Both Parties are EQUALLY guilty of this. It seems to be hereditary.
With Spanish descendants, when it comes to choosing America and Americans or their heritage they too often obfuscate. Just as this woman attempted to do tonight. They generally never, ever, take a completely American perspective.
And, following that pattern, neither did she.
Tucker pressed her repeatedly and she obfuscated repeatedly. Insinuating he misrepresented her Amorphous positions and attempting to blame Tucker for misunderstanding her Bill Granting Amnesty to LawBreakers
She is another attempt at a “RINO Republican” Amnesty Shill.
No Sovereignty for the USA but, we MUST ensure sovereignty for every other dirt world country on the planet. Just not our country.
When Tucker pressed her on this issue her response was reflexive and Pathetic, “you’re misrepresenting my position”!!! LOL

[Jane Long]

She’ll go along with, and for, the grift.

The way she was spewing her nonsense, tonight, looked like she can’t wait to get the $$$ rolling in.

She’s a good little McCarthy-Luntz lapdog.

Re: "Rep. Salazar......"

Regardless of her position on any critical issue in this world (if you could even decipher it !) this member of the House Intelligence Committee (alas) is about as whacky as they come.

I don't know how I stuck it out listening to her till the end of the interview.....just curiosity, I guess. She's more than a couple cards short of a full pinochle deck.

Kudos to Tucker for trying to inject some sense into the mish-mash of an interview. I'll doubt if we'll ever see her guesting on HIS show anymore.

At least, I hope not !

That was a bizarre segment; I also managed to watch it thru the end. Tucker was relieved it was over.

[Does so]

She represents a Florida district of Cuban-Americans who watched JFK cancel his CIA-run invasion that would have restored a free Cuba, and NOT HAVE brought the US and USSR to the brink of nuclear war.

[escapefromboston]

Ukraine isn’t America’s problem.
The souther border allowing endless hordes of criminal aliens is.
Neocons need to be purged from the republican party if we want anything good to happen in this country.

[OKSooner]

She interrupts more than Hannity.

How is it that NATO is not a tremendous part of the problem, here? It seems that US efforts to involve the Ukraine in NATO, in the past, were half-hearted at best, if not downright disingenuous. They contributed to this situation.

Germany is in NATO, supposedly protecting other NATO countries with an aging stockpile of leaky GDR missiles. They would probably have to ask Russia for batteries, if they ever wanted to use them. Trump had to deal with Germany seeking billions from the US for NATO defense against Russia, to whom they happily give billions for oil.

I think that Trump might have done for Europe and Russia what he tried to do in the Middle East. NATO and the Swamp of Brussels couldn’t stand that. So here we are.

[Williams]

Your analysis is spot on.

I was a huge Tucker fan, on just about every issue he was the most insightful.

On this issue, I’m sorry to say Tucker has been so one sided as to be dishonest. This congresswoman was the first time he put on an opposing voice to debate.

If you watch Hannity, he’s the exact opposite approach.

Laura Ingram seems to be closer to Tucker.

I see a lot of false premises all the time. Laura tonight was arguing that we are somehow preventing a peace agreement by providing equipment to Ukraine.

She also referred to us putting “bodies” into Ukraine, which no one is suggesting.

If you watch Hannity, he puts on former Trump officials. I trust their analysis.

[Williams]

She did interrupt a lot, and I don’t agree with her on any form of amnesty.

But they had a good debate.

[stanne]

What you said. Period.

[OKSooner]

Neither one of them were able to finish a complete sentence. Just a shouting match, which she deserves most of the credit for IMO.

[moehoward]

"...conflated our domestic southern border with the borders of Ukraine...."

It's meant to be in principle, not a direct comparison.

Although, in my opinion when the end result of either is substantial loss of life and a cost of billons of dollars, the two may be more similar than we want to acknowledge.

How is it that NATO is not a tremendous part of the problem, here? It seems that US efforts to involve the Ukraine in NATO, in the past, were half-hearted at best, if not downright disingenuous. They contributed to this situation.

The problem is NATO's duplicity with Ukraine plays both ways. If we as a leader of NATO encouraged Ukraine to seek NATO membership knowing that Russia would react, do we not owe Ukraine a moral duty to defend Ukraine against Russia's reaction?

Even more, if we promised Ukraine in writing that we would protect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine transferring its nuclear weapons, do we not owe Ukraine the duty of keeping our word? Do we not damage our power to deter and our power to enlist allies when we betray our promises?

These issues cut both ways. If America was duplicitous or unfaithful why does that relieve us of moral responsibility?

[moehoward]

“I also managed to watch it thru the end.”

She said she was ending it about half way through. I tried to make it through the whole thing, but FF’d the last minute or so. Too idiotic when she kept hawking her Amnesty bill because “enforcement”.

[sauropod]

Saw this.

She is a raging embarrassment.
