I’ve long realized the key to identifying a fake from the real item, in this case person, is to study the real item so closely that you’ll have no trouble identifying a fake – even if the fakes are sitting across from Tucker Carlson in custom suits with hair more perfectly manicured than the finest lawns in the Brentwood or Beverly Hills sections of Los Angeles.
Treasury agents tasked with identifying counterfeit money don’t study the counterfeits; they study and examine real money so much and so thoroughly that any fake is immediately apparent to them. Even if they cannot put their finger on it right away, they can tell there’s something off about fake money, and that will lead them to identify the counterfeit.
This brings me to the former governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson and still creature of Capitol Hill Mike Pence. I’ll get to Chris Christie later and Kevin McCarthy at another time
At the Family Leadership Summit forum held Friday, July 14, 2023, in Des Moines, Iowa, Hutchinson was pressed during his interview with Carlson for being soft on the issue of children’s sex changes. In response to Tucker’s question, Hutchinson opined: “Tucker, I hope that we’ll be able to talk about some [real] issues.”
That was an incredible statement! Apparently, it was no less so to Tucker who pointed out: “This is one of the biggest issues in the country … it is a central issue.”
