Tucker Carlson puts Mike Pence in his place in today’s GOP

Tucker Carlson has long been a vocal critic of the Republican party and its leaders, including Mike Pence. In an interview earlier this week, Carlson called out Pence's apparent unwillingness to stand up for conservative values. Carlson argued that Pence "sounds like a liberal on TV" and continued to criticize the Vice President for not doing more to actively promote the ideas that the GOP claims to embrace. He challenged Pence to "define" the Republican party and what it stands for, rather than relying on platitudes. Carlson's criticism is an important reminder that in politics, talk is often not enough and leaders must be willing to push back against the status quo and make the case for what they believe in.
