Tucker Carlson grilled Mike Pence on the issue of supporting Ukraine today and it got tense, just as his interview with Asa Hutchinson got before.

Specifically Carlson grilled him on the religious persecution of the Russian Orthodox and, at one point, suggested he thought Pence would be more concerned over it.

Below is the full exchange on this:

When Pence was in Congress I used to have great respect for him but nowadays he comes across as sounding somewhat fake in the way he answers the questions, like he is more concerned with getting applause from the audience.

In this exchange Tucker was arguing that there is a mountain of evidence that religious persecution IS happening in Ukraine and just because one Russian Orthodox priest didn’t think it was doesn’t mean it’s not happening, and that was the basis for him pressing Pence on this, who seemed more concerned with waging a proxy war with Russia than standing up for religious liberty.

On the same issue of supporting Ukraine, Tucker really hit Pence hard in the clip below:

 
In another clip Tucker laughs at Pence when he seems reluctant on the idea of getting rid of all electronic voting machines:

Of course states control their elections and they should. But that doesn’t mean that as president you can’t advocate for the position of getting rid of electronic voting machines and try and push states in that direction. Geez.

Here’s the longer version of that clip if you want to watch it:
