Tucker Carlson turns Asa Hutchinson into 'a PUDDLE of NOTHINGNESS' over the subject of child castration
Last Friday, Blaze Media teamed up with the FAMiLY Leader to host the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican primary season.
A charismatic and unapologetic Tucker Carlson conducted the interviews, some of which were well-received by the audience while others might be described as bloodbaths.
An unfortunate Asa Hutchinson fell into the latter category.
The Arkansas governor’s confusing stance on the subject of chemical castration for children didn’t go over so well with Tucker, who had several pointed (and entirely justified) questions for Hutchinson.
“But you said that children should be able to choose their gender, and their parents should be able to affirm that, and the state has no role in getting involved,” Tucker fires at a visibly flustered Asa.
“You’re saying that a child shouldn’t be able to choose a bathroom, but he can choose his sex. I don’t understand,” he continues.
“Let me finish!” Asa barks, clearly unsettled by the audience's applause for Tucker’s string of questions.
“I want the government to stay out [of schools],” he retorts, adding, “I want the parents and communities and our faith to guide us through these difficult decisions.”
Tucker isn’t satisfied with that answer though.
“You have repeatedly described delaying a child’s natural progression from childhood to adulthood through adolescence ... as quote ‘treatment,’” Tucker says.
He continues: “You believe, I suppose, that people can change their sex because if you don’t believe that, you wouldn’t call it treatment, would you?”
Dave Rubin fittingly describes Asa as “a puddle of nothingness” after Tucker hits him with this final question.

Geraldo Rivera ridiculed for suggesting this man 'could be the strongest GOP alternative for POTUS'
Fox News Channel personality Geraldo Rivera suggested that former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "could be the strongest GOP alternative for" president.
"Chris Christie could be the strongest GOP alternative for POTUS; savvy, swagger, moderation, toughness," Rivera tweeted.
Rivera was ridiculed on social media.
"I have to tell you, I find Geraldo impressive in his ability to have created a fairly lucrative career by being wrong so many times. . ." American Majority founder and CEO Ned Ryun tweeted.
"Time to switch to a non-hallucinogenic mustache wax, dude," someone else tweeted.
"Geraldo says the stupidest things ever spewed by mankind but this has to be top 5 stupidest tweets," someone else wrote.

Christie, who served as governor of the Garden State from early 2010 through early 2018, mounted a presidential bid in 2015 but ultimately dropped out in 2016.
"Next 45 to 60 days," Christie said of when he will decide whether to throw his hat into the ring for the 2024 contest, the Washington Examiner reported last week. "I think running for president of the United States is an intensely personal decision. And that's one that anybody who's considering it should have the right to make on their own regardless of anybody else's thoughts on it."
Former President Donald Trump has already announced another White House bid, as have former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and author and Strive co-founder Vivek Ramaswamy.
"With Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, you can be sure of the fact that we'll have another four years of Joe Biden, and that to me is not acceptable for this country," Christie said, according to the Examiner.
Last year, Rivera described then-GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as "a once-in-a-generation stand up hero."
In 2021, Rivera opined that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York "outshines every other member of Congress in eloquence and passionate sincerity."
