Tucker Carlson said he's not sure he can support the Republican party after a Florida congressman called for Gaza to be nuked.
Congressman Randy Fine, who was recently elected to replace Mike Waltz in Florida as the preferred candidate of President Trump, made the jaw dropping comments in a Fox News interview last month.
He said: 'In World War 2 we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.
'We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here in Gaza.
'There is something deeply wrong with its culture and it needs to be defeated.'

Carlson, speaking on his podcast alongside Glenn Greenwald, said he was so taken aback by the comments that he initially thought they couldn't have been made by a real politician.
'I text a friend of mine in Congress,' Carlson said. 'This is a person who I confirmed is a real person. I didn't believe it at first... I didn't believe he was really a member of Congress.'
'It's evil. How can you say something like that and not get expelled from Congress? How can that person still be in the Republican party?'
Carlson went on to say that Fine's comments had made him question whether he could remain loyal to the Republican party.
'I don't know if I can support a party with someone like Randy Fine... that's so disgusting.
'So we're gonna nuke Gaza because of its culture? We're going to kill everyone because we don't like their culture?' he repeated incredulously.
'There are Christians in Gaza. Muslims in Gaza. To say there is some Gazan culture that's cohesive.'

But Fine is a Jewish Trump-backed pick who won 83 percent of the Republican primary vote

Tucker is right. There are approx. 2 million people in Gaza. You want to “nuke” 2 million men, women and children? That’s monstrous.
Something “deeply wrong” with Giggles that he doesn’t understand what was said by the Congressman.
When was the last time Japan attacked anyone?
He said: 'In World War 2 we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.
'We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here in Gaza.

The sentence "That needs to be the same here in Gaza." refers back to "we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese"
Tucker’s going down the road of Savage and O’rielly. Bloom is off.
The historic curse, you become what you hate.
I really, really dislike the GOP, literally hate the Democrats and beginning to question Populism...
The congressman didn’t say Gaza should be nuked. He was talking about unconditional surrender.
That’s the way I read it as well.
Gaza belongs to Israel. I don’t think Tucker got that far in the Bible yet.
I know and agree with what he was pointing out and trying to say. It’s history.
His finishing remarks could have been more precise. It does leave the wrong impression.
Tucker has been sliding down that slippery slope slowly for a few months now.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
I’ve noticed and have lost confidence in his ability to THINK before he opens his yap.
Thank you. Please scroll up to my post #32.
You said it better than me.
Carlson has become a real drama queen and he latches onto the strangest things to virtue signal his “humanity. “
Tucker has always been confused
why is Tucker behaving that way because of the words of a SINGLE REPUBLICAN?

Time to look for a purple octopus near him.

What is this in reference to?
I see you’re taking a side trip from Zeeperdom to engage in another episode of your ongoing jihad against Tucker. You neocons are predictable.
Tucker thinks he’s edgy by pimping muzzies, gays and hippies on his twitter.
baloney. He was making an argument about the need for DEFEATING the Gazan terrorists. He did not say to nuke Gaza, but was rather using the ill-advised ‘hell we even nuked Japan’ example to stress the importance of defeating an enemy. He is correct.
