so, other than the coastal elites hate alabama, which they always have and that s even more obvious than it s ever been. what have we learned from this? well, i think we have learned that when mitch mcconnell and the g.o.p. leadership in washington tries to hand pick a candidate and meddle in a state election, things can blow up in their face. tucker: right. that s exactly what happened here. mitch mcconnell very much wanted luther strange to be the next senator from alabama instead he is really given the people of alabama a very difficult choice that a lot of alabamaians think there is no good solution to this problem they have between doug jones and roy moore. so it s really like trying to force your daughter to date someone and she goes like way in the other direction. that s right. that s right. exactly. i talked to a number of people in alabama, party officials and campaign people who told me that
analyst brit hume. so, brit, what are the implications either way? let s say roy moore wins, what does that mean for the republicans in washington? well, tucker, my assessment of that is very simply this. on an ordinary night, on a special election in alabama, we would probably be calling this at 8:00 if we had exit polling for the republican. but, as you point out. this is no ordinary night. my way of looking at it is that there are two missiles headed toward the republicans in the u.s. senate and those who may run for the job. and the only question is which one is going to hit them. either in the case of a moore loss. they lose a seat in the senate. which narrowly divided as the senate is, that s a big deal. however, if roy moore wins they have a political albatross around their neck or at least someone that the democrats going forward into next year s midterm elections will try to hang
rape. too much. why should i take my moral cues on this question from someone who is as cynical as that? so, senator gillibrand was actually in a bipartisan, bible study group when her phone rang, when she found out that the president of the united states was th with the biggest bully pulpit in the world was attacking her on twitter. i think the question and where we could really begin the conversation is that really the da core rum that we want our president to be engaging? and. tucker: the answer is no. with daughters, he needs to be able to say is there s an epidemic around sexual assault and sexual harassment and i want to do something. tucker: i m against the president tweeting about anything ever. that is great. i m so happy to hear that. tucker: i m against most people tweeting against ever i m against tweeting. anti-twitter.

pulled out of high school classes and intie interrogated without a lawyer without his parents. these are are not the actions we respect from our justice system. we hope to see better in the days and weeks to come. a law professor at the university of detroit and he joins us tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. hey, good evening, tucker. tucker: it seems like it this is a little baffling. i had trouble believing it was real actually when i first read it so you find out that someone in your family has a tendency to kill strangers in the name of jihad in a subway station and you issue a statement saying that you have been wronged somehow? how does this work? well, i mean, let s be clear that n. that statement they said they were heart broken by the attack. to characterize it they were just attacking the police is wrong. i think there is an issue of bias enforcement. we didn t see the police conduct this sort of treatment against the family of dylann roof or robert deere or james hol
