TUCKER CARLSON: We don't have a right to destroy something we didn't build. And I would say Jim Lankford, you know, doesn't have a right to destroy the Republican Party. You know, and by the way the people like that -- Mike Braun, we had Mike Braun on the other night. He's a perfectly nice person. You know, he's a senator from Indiana. He endorsed Black Lives Matter.

You know, I know plenty of people who are for Black Lives Matter. A lot of them are nice people. I'm not mad at them, I disagree. I think Black Lives Matter is poison. Ok, they have another view. That's alright. But they're not Republican senators. Their job isn't to make it possible for my children to live in this country. That is Mike Braun's job. And he's abandoned his job. He's shirked his duty. And he should be bounced out of that position. He should lose his seat over that. And if I'm still on television, I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make sure that happens. And the same for Jim Lankford, the same for anybody who refuses to defend his voters in a time of crisis.
