Anytime Chuck Schumer and/or Mitch McConnell is upset, someone is doing the right thing.

Tucker needs to double down. Call out sh+tbag shoomer, invite him on to explain where the lies are.
The fact that they (dems) feel so comfortable trashing the story speaks volumes about where our media is today.
DOUBLE THE HELL DOWN TUCKER!!!!
