Tucker Carlson's extremist recommendation to Republicans: 'The US should bomb Mexico'

During the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa, former television host Tucker Carlson suggested that Mexico was a bigger threat to the United States than Russia, as well as proposing to “bomb” the country to crack down on drug trafficking.

Throughout the event that took place on Friday, July 14, Tucker Carlson interviewed six candidates for the presidential candidacy of the Republican Party.

The tensest moment of the interview with Tim Scott was when Carlson, who has made comments in favor of Russian President Vladimir Putin, questioned why the United States sees the Kremlin as a threat and not Mexico.

Tucker Carlson later interviewed Asa Hutchinson, the governor of Arkansas, to whom he suggested: “Why not bomb the Mexican cartels?” - an act of war against an allied country.

“Why not bomb the Mexican cartels?” Carlson later asked Asa Hutchinson.

The only way that Mexico will regain stability is to root out corruption in their law enforcement, judiciary, and military.

PS: Fuck Tucker Carlson.

Having lived in Orange County, it's hard to overstate the sheer hatred most Republicans feel for Mexicans and Central Americans.

I was in Eastern New Mexico (aka ‘little Texas”) for a few years and the hatred the Anglos had for Hispanics was off the charts. Now I live in southwest NM where the white people are much less belligerent.
