        3.…in 2016, I appeared on Tucker Carlson. I knew this was going to be an ambush of some sort, so assembled my own notebook of Tucker Carlson’s long history of lies to produce on air. After Tucker’s second question to me, the volume in my ear piece suddenly was turned softer…

DONT appear w/ Tucker’s show unless ur Trump acolyte or in-studio. He'll do this to you otherwise. Watch his interviews carefully…pic.twitter.com/xHcxEd3Aw3
