Tucker Carlson: “If you stare too intently at the accusers, at the, you know…”

“You get to a point where you're like, well, if you're gonna slander me, then I'll just become the thing you're calling me. I do think that's a feature of human nature, don't you? And If you stare too intently at the accusers, at the, you know, whatever Ben Shapiro or Mark Levins or Ted Cruz or whoever it is calling you names, it like, distorts you and you actually change and become what they say you are. Have you thought that ever. Do you worry that that happened to you? No, I don't think it ever did because I, I know who I am.” (37:24–37:40)
