Bulletin: Jay Jones caught on tape ‘kicking’ at voter’s dog

Donald Trump has weighed in on the big “IQ” — that’s the Interview Question — concerning whether or not it is okay for one political commentator to speak with another.

Approached on the tarmac of the Palm Beach International Airport, Donald Trump was asked a question pressing on the minds of every Zionist in America: was Tucker Carlson wrong for interviewing America First activist Nick Fuentes?

Reporter: Mr. President, Tucker Carlson recently had a friendly interview with anti-Semite Nick Fuentes. What role do you think Tucker Carlson should play in the Republican Party?

Here’s how the president responded:

“I found him to be good, I mean, he’s said good things about me over the years. I think he’s good. We’ve had some good interviews. I did an interview with him we were at 300 million hits. You know that,” the president began before being cut off by a journalist from Bloomberg.

He then continued:

“I’ve had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can’t tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out. People have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide.”

Pressed on the issue further, the president reiterated his belief that Tucker was doing his job:

“Well I didn’t know he was coming and he was with as you know somebody, Kanye. And Kanye asked if we could have dinner and he brought Nick. I didn’t know nick at the time. And, he did. Along with a few other people, he brought a few other people with him. Meeting people, talking to people, for somebody like Tucker…that’s what they do. People are controversial. Some are, some aren’t. I’m not controversial so I like it that way.”
