Tucker Carlson’s Take on Jamal Khashoggi Was Perfect but It Was Not Politically Correct

Over the weekend, Tucker Carlson appeared at a rehearsal for Purgatory called the Politicon conference. Before an audience, he took on the story of the death of Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi, just to recap, was a Washington Post op-ed writer who apparently was killed in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. The details are sketchy because the details are being spooled out by the Turkish government and media outlets who are in Erdogan’s pocket. So far there have been more retracted stories than those that have been verified. For instance, at first, we were told Khashoggi was cut up and shipped to Saudi Arabia via diplomatic pouch. Today the Turks are claiming they found a body. To date, the alleged video and audio tapes of the incident have not been made available to any neutral third party for technical analysis.
