Watch Tucker Carlson and Rob Reiner Have a Passive-Aggressive Contest in Tense Russia Debate (Mediaite)
Film director Rob Reiner has been making the media rounds this week promoting his newly launched committee to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. And that tour included an unlikely stop Thursday: Tucker Carlson Tonight.
In what was a tense standoff, Reiner and host Tucker Carlson battled over Russia — with Carlson arguing that Reiner was being hypocritical for focusing on Russia and not China, and Reiner countering by saying that China has not directly meddled in U.S. elections.
The chat amounted to a passive-aggressive contest between the two — a contest which would seem to be right up Carlson’s alley. The most notable exchange came at approximately the five-minute mark.
