Sen. Ted Cruz: "I believe Tucker Carlson is the single most dangerous demagogue in this country."

Published | Video Starts at 01:21

If you look at the descent of Tucker Carlson and they're all the sort of lesser chattering voices that are moons circling his twisted planet. But if you look at the dissent, It started about a year and a half ago with platforming crackpot professors seeking to rewrite history about World War II. So he has one idiot whom he describes as the most consequential popular historian in the country who leans forward and intones that Winston Churchill was the villain of World War II. (01:21–01:38)
