Teen Vogue Writer Battles Tucker Carlson: You're Actually Being a Partisan Hack

Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca faced off with Fox’s Tucker Carlson tonight in what became a mesmerizing and fierce back and forth about Ivanka Trump and various things that Duca has written.

Carlson confronted Duca for tweeting the following about Ivanka Trump shortly after she was confronted loudly on an airplane.

Duca told Carlson she thinks Ivanka Trump shouldn’t be confronted like that in public, especially with her kids present, but also said the incoming First Daughter is not immune from criticism.

Carlson repeatedly confronted Duca for saying that Trump has a “sinister complicity” in the agenda pushed by her father. Duca completely stood by that comment and emphasized that there’s a difference between harassment of Trump and legitimate criticism of her for backing up the “most anti-woman candidate in decades.”

As they kept going back and forth, Duca told off Carlson for interrupting her saying: “You’re actually being a partisan hack that’s just attacking me ad nauseum and not allowing me to speak.”

Somehow this seems to be an appropriate venue for his talents even as he suffers a severe beating. When he goes after Tiger Beat the tigers may be real.

Jon Stewart needs to take him to the woodshed again! I love her calling him out for what he is what he was doing, and continued to do, even after she called him out! He used every hack trick in the book by bringing up her other Teen Vogue articles that were not political.

If she should stick to thigh high boots and the like because she is not very good at politics, then he should give up his position because she just schooled the shit out of him!!!

No comparison between Bill Nye and the Twit Idiot.

On his because day, Tucker Carlson isn't worthy of lacing Bill Nye's shoes.

A decade ago, his wife, at home, was receiving malicious, threatening, harassing phone calls. It was so bad that James Carville did an open-rant on CNN about it.

I don't like that it was in front of her kids, and so I think the verbal assault should not have happened at this time. That causes fear in children, and they didn't ask for it. But Ivanka and Jared are fair game.

His glory days are over. Getting into a fight with a teen magazine writer shows just what a lightweight he is. The fact that she got the better of him shows why he no longer has a place on mainstream TV.
