Episode notes

The Washington Post's Eric Wemple says some leading Republicans turned on Tucker Carlson. But is their anger at Carlson real or is it more politicking? To answer that, we called Paul Kane, the senior congressional correspondent for the Washington Post. He asked him which Republicans are speaking out and he said Mitch McConnell was one of them.

The Fox News host aired a splashy exclusive this month about the January 6 insurrection. Some Republican senators saw his coverage — and publicly called “b******t.”

This episode was produced by Haleema Shah with help from Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
