Democrats Have to Cheat or They Can’t Win: Tucker Interviews Trump

Last night, Americans heard from the candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Fox News hosted a debate that brought together eight of those candidates. At the same time, Tucker Carlson published his interview with front-runner Donald Trump. While the other candidates went at each other in Milwaukee, Trump and Tucker discussed election rigging, Joe Biden’s corruption, the likelihood of a civil war, and more. Today we look at both the debate and the Trump interview.
