Republican 2024 hopefuls respond to Tucker Carlson's questions about their stance on Russia-Ukraine war
Fox News ^ | 3/14/2023 | Joseph Wulfson

Several of the highly-buzzed Republican presidential hopefuls have responded to Tucker Carlson's questions pressing their stance on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Last week, the Fox News host challenged the already-declared candidates as well as several prominent Republicans who have sparked chatter of potentially entering the 2024 race to answer a questionnaire that asked the following: Is opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest? What specifically is our objective in Ukraine, and how will we know when we’ve achieved it? What is the limit of funding and materiel you would be willing to send to the government of Ukraine? Should the United States support regime change in Russia? Given that Russia’s economy and currency are stronger than before the war, do you believe that U.S. sanctions have been effective? Do you believe the United States faces the risk of nuclear war with Russia?

Two of the three declared presidential candidates, former President Trump and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, responded to Carlson's inquiry as well as former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Did Tucker ask any of the candidates about their plans to stop Democrat vote fraud in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Virginia and Arizona in 2024?

Did Tucker ask any of the candidates if they believe the 2020 election was stolen?

Funny how Tucker dropped the whole J6 expose like a hot potato and is back to his Putin puffing...

Yea, He works for them. Not much he can do. He’s not as independent as we’d hope

Yep Murdoch and Ryan shut it down. Not one second of new footage will be shown and change the subject. #2 any talk of any voter fraud anywhere is forbidden.

Funny thing is that Tucker Carlson’s ratings skyrocketed at the beginning of last week and then the ratings collapsed again by the end of the week after the J6 plug was pulled on Tuesday. People really tuned in to see what was going to be shown on Tuesday, particularly. And it was a big disappointment so people tuned out again.

The constitutional stance on Russia-Ukraine War is no federal funding imo.
If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?

The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...

All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.

If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.

If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.

With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.

In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.

Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.

If Tucker wants to show credibility, he should at minimum speak to how the videos were shut down, why, and by whom.

He’s got enough f-you capital with the number one show. Maybe he’s not permitted by the Murdochs to show the video, but he could at least explain honestly why.

I've been having a tough time viewing his content lately when I am doubting his toughness and ability to stand on principal...

“He’s got enough f-you capital with the number one show.”

I think you’ve made the mistake of believing that Carlson is somehow out of step with his bosses at Fox News. He’s not. He’s a deep state water carrier just like his CIA daddy.

Pretty much as expected, except for Pence. He is extremely ignorant and unintelligent. Christie is stiff fat. (Not worthy of a statement, ignore him).

Yep Tucker will take his fat paychecks and toes the line. Whenever he steps over even an inch like he did a week ago he gets his mind right immediately. He gets to be opposition to the rats because it brings big ratings for FNC but there are clear and specific rules and limits and he obeys them. To this day no one who matters has ever said any election has been stolen any time any place within the last decade.

An US Reaper drone was downed over the Black Sea today, so that Constitutional stance may need to be tested.

Agree...and his disdain for folks who oppose US involvement is palpable.

I seriously didn’t expect Pence to be that whacked. I started out neutral on him as VP, but that declined steadily over four years to negative. Now it’s off the charts negative.

No, all six questions on the survey dealt with the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

Isn't that a burning issue for you Max?

This Fox Tucker survey is orchestrated Uniparty kabuki trying to remove any policy differences between Desantis and Trump. Desantis is Fox’s candidate.
