The Truth About Tautologies

A tautology is a statement that must be true because it has to be. Tucker does not understand what he's talking about, but this strikes me as evidence that someone working on his staff probably likes to watch online debate streamers.

They are just sentiments that he doesn't like diversity is our strength is a bit slow, guinea, but it's not a tautology.
