Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a MI6/Mossad/KGB triple agent and the relations were passed down forward
TLDR?
Sort of related, no matter what your opinion of Tucker Carlson is, it's worth reading what happened to him recently in Israel and why he was detained. He spoke out against Israel and got a tip off that they were going to try to "Charlie Kirk" him. So he refused to leave the airport and had an interview done at the airport instead. Shortly after Israel detained him.
Also, there was an Israeli on CNBC talking about how America needs to abandon the first amendment because of our freedom of speech allowing us to trash Israel.
Do you have a credible source for this? All I am finding is indicating Tucker claims he was detained at the airport. The ambassador to Israel claims it was standard screening. This seems pretty conflated.
The Iranian president is the one claiming that Israel attempted to kill him, the Iranian president.
I read it on Instagram, but now I'm having trouble finding it again. It could just be Tucker Carlson making grandiose, untruthful, bullshit statements about himself. Par for the course with that jackass.
I remember reading a claim that his executive producer was detained. However, I may be mistaken as I cannot remember the source.
Crazy and explains a lot of shit.
