Gina Carano felt her personal political views were more important than her career and, when she spoke out, the press took her words, misinterpreted them, and joined together to see her ousted from Disney for expressing them. She talks with Tucker about how she’s a fighter and a protector . She says she wants others […]
Given yesterday’s discussion of fairness and the importance of having an agreed-upon set of principles to steer by, let me add an earlier discussion to the “social principles” mix. Hmmmm….

I actually don’t want to talk about Trump and Biden supporters, right or left. But I do want to talk about what I call the “honest center.” In any rally there’ll be that group of decent people.
