Absolutely nothing wrong with getting a letter of recommendation. At least he didn’t pay hundreds of thousands for fake sports experience and bribe the kid in.

Tucker pulled his punches on Hunter and the laptop right before the election.

Carlson from the beginning of this has not hidden that he knew Hunter casually.

Exactly, just because people sit next to Putin, like Flynn, doesn't make them spies, sheesh.

You’re attacking on all fronts, this morning! I don’t even think you got what I was saying.

I believe Hunter has always been a sleaze, even if he once looked more presentable. I doubt the Carlsons maintained connection with him.

Does that help?

There are about 12 of these people on this site... doing Biden’s bidding with unhinged pro Ukrainian propaganda

Yes, and most of them joined FR just after DJT 'lost' the election to Biden. If I were to guess, they are all Neocons who want the Republican party back.

Earlier this week, D’Souza accused Tucker Carlson and Fox News of telling Catherine Engelbrect, his 2000 Mules partner and founder of the anti-vote fraud group True the Vote, to not talk about the film

D’Souza is not happy about Fox News not covering “2000 Mules” but at least Tucker brought
Catherine Engelbrect on his program, despite Fox News not wanting to cover “2000 Mules”.
How many mainstream media programs brought Catherine Engelbrect on their programs?

2000 Mules was banned by Tucker Carlson. Don’t make excuses for him.

2000 Mules was banned by Tucker Carlson

"2000 Mules” was “banned” by Fox News, not Tucker Carlson.
Carlson still brought Catherine Engelbrect on to his program anyway, despite the Fox ban on the movie.
Tucker does not run Fox News. Why dont you go troll at DU again?

Tucker Carlson forbid her from talking about 2000 Mules. That’s a BAN.

Thanks so much, Hunter - this is from Tucker: Terrific. Buck is applying to Georgetown college. Please edit as you see fit. I think it’s best if Hunter writes the president in time for his letter to affect the early decision process. Super great of him to do this. Thanks a lot. I love you. He finished up junior year with As in all six of his courses at St. George’s: English, marine science, Spanish 4, algebra 2, US History and ethics. So far this year, he’s got an A in all three AP courses he’s taking (English, economics and American history) as well as in precalculus. He’s got a B plus in physics. He’s been on the honor roll every semester since he started in ninth grade. He took the SAT last spring and got a perfect score, an 800, on the critical reading section. He got a 660 in writing and a 620 in math. He’s retaking the test next month. Last summer he did an internship with the Washington Free Beacon news site here in town, which I think fueled his interest in politics and government, and hence Georgetown. This year he’s head of the largest club at St. George’s, which (amazingly) is the Young Republicans. He’s a compulsive reader, especially of history, and a pretty good squash player. He’s also an excellent fly fisherman, close to guide-level. He loves Washington, for all the right reasons I think, and really wants to go to school here. Finally, he’s one of the funniest people I know. Not sure if that counts in the admissions office, but Susie and I enjoy the hell out of it. Buckley also loves the outdoors. He spent a month his Junior year on the St, George’s sailboat - the Geronimo - learning to navigate a boat and sail from Florida to The Dominican Republic. (Maintaining his A average while he did it.) He did NOLS in Alaska the summer before that. Thanks a TON, Hunter. Really hope to see you soon! ox Susie On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 4:15 PM, Hunter Biden wrote: Send me resume and is he applying to “the college” or SFS or Business etc... You don’t know how much help I can be but I’d be honored to write a recommendation to Pres. DeGioa RHB 202.333. On Nov 10, 2014, at 3:48 PM, Susie Carlson wrote: Hunter! You are so thoughtful. I don’t know how comfortable you are writing a letter without talking to Buckley first….he applied early to Georgetown and they make their decisions by December 15th. Buckley won’t be home until after that as we are heading down to Florida for the week of Thanksgiving. I could send you a brief “resume” or you could write something after meeting him during his Christmas break - he will likely be deferred anyway…. Let me know your thoughts. Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you.

I hesitate to ask you to do any more than you already do in a day, but Tucker and I would be so grateful if you could write a letter or speak to someone in the Georgetown Admission’s Office about Buckley. I realize you don’t really know Buckley. Maybe you could meet or speak to him and he could send you a very brief resume with his interests and grades attached. His early application is due November 1st. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks so much, Hunter. I hope we see you soon! Lots of love, Susie

Why did she agree to go on Tucker’s show if she was being censored? Why would she stab her partner in the back?

Evan:

I’d love to add something even meaner to your description of Donald Trump–he’s the sort of person I want to keep kicking once he’s down–but I don’t think I can. You’ve said it all: He is the single most repulsive person on the planet.

Best,
Tucker

Tucker has been a well known Conservative activist in Hard Left Washington D.C. for more than two decades.

For his son, that would be a significant barrier to admission to the most prestigious undergraduate university in the city.

It is possible that Tucker was simply trying to establish that the Democrat son of a Democrat Vice President was a family friend.

Fox News forbade talking about "2000 Mules". When you work for a company you follow the rules.

Even Netflix has realized that:

Netflix's woke purge: Troubled streaming giant's latest layoffs targeted 150 staff who were among its most vocal social justice warriors working on original content about marginalized communities

She was on Tucker. Whether she talked about the movie or not doesn't change that.
What other program invites her?
