Tucker Presses Dem on Calling for Sessions', But Not Holder's Resignation
Tucker Carlson debated a Democratic Congressman who tweeted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should resign and face possible perjury charges for what he called "false testimony" about meetings held with a Russian envoy.
However, Carlson later asked Rep. David Cicilline (D-Rhode Island) why he didn't make a similar demand of former Attorney General Eric Holder when he found himself in a similar situation.
Carlson said Cicilline was "getting a little ahead of the story" by floating perjury charges against Sessions, after he was found to have had two meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at the same time he was a surrogate for the Donald Trump campaign.
Cicilline said it was "very disturbing" that Sessions did not disclose those meetings when questioned by Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) during his confirmation hearing.
"Your standard is, if an attorney general says something in Congress that turns out not to be true, he should resign and face perjury charges," Carlson said to Cicilline.
