Tucker Carlson: “Kissinger had served as National Security Advisor and then…”

“It's not like I, you know, had dived into all of Henry Kissinger's horrible acts and his status as a war criminal. Dr. Kissinger is one of our nation's most accomplished and respected public public servants. Kissinger had served as National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State under Richard Nixon. He pushed a massive expansion of the Vietnam War, including secret bombings in Cambodia and Laos. There are questions about his role in Vietnam, his role in the coup in Chile. When we first met him, he gave us this long talk about how honored it was.” (10:54–11:06)
