Tucker Carlson turns Asa Hutchinson into 'a PUDDLE of NOTHINGNESS' over the subject of child castration

Last Friday, Blaze Media teamed up with the FAMiLY Leader to host the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican primary season.

A charismatic and unapologetic Tucker Carlson conducted the interviews, some of which were well-received by the audience while others might be described as bloodbaths.

An unfortunate Asa Hutchinson fell into the latter category.

The Arkansas governor’s confusing stance on the subject of chemical castration for children didn’t go over so well with Tucker, who had several pointed (and entirely justified) questions for Hutchinson.

“But you said that children should be able to choose their gender, and their parents should be able to affirm that, and the state has no role in getting involved,” Tucker fires at a visibly flustered Asa.

“You’re saying that a child shouldn’t be able to choose a bathroom, but he can choose his sex. I don’t understand,” he continues.

“Let me finish!” Asa barks, clearly unsettled by the audience's applause for Tucker’s string of questions.

“I want the government to stay out [of schools],” he retorts, adding, “I want the parents and communities and our faith to guide us through these difficult decisions.”

Tucker isn’t satisfied with that answer though.

“You have repeatedly described delaying a child’s natural progression from childhood to adulthood through adolescence ... as quote ‘treatment,’” Tucker says.

He continues: “You believe, I suppose, that people can change their sex because if you don’t believe that, you wouldn’t call it treatment, would you?”

Dave Rubin fittingly describes Asa as “a puddle of nothingness” after Tucker hits him with this final question.
