Watch Democrat Monica Klein Smack Down Tucker Carlson’s Attack On A Woman’s Right To Choose

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on January 30, 2019 · Flag

Tucker Carlson tried to mansplain, condescend and demean guest Monica Klein as part of Fox’s recent hysteria over abortion. When Klein refused to be intimidated – and gave back as good as she got – Carlson couldn’t take it any more and ended the discussion.

Klein is my kind of Democratic strategist: one who smacks down Fox News bullies on the air. She had a simple message, was clearly prepared with what she wanted to say and she refused to be budged from it or put on the defensive. And she properly went on offense. The only thing I wish she had done was to specifically call out Carlson’s tactics of trying to ridicule and browbeat her as she tried to put forth her thoughts. And she could have demanded answers to her argument, which Carlson refused to provide.

Still, Klein deserves a round of applause for taking the bully by the horns. I have written many times that Carlson is often unable or unwilling to debate like a grownup. He resorts to haranguing and deviousness with the aim of discombobulating his guests who have differing opinions, usually without putting forth any serious thought of his own. Kudos to Klein for upending that scheme right off the bat. She also gets a cheer from me for pointing out the hypocrisy of Republican sanctimony when their policies are "tearing families apart at the border and allowing children to die in federal custody. So whose party is actually hurting children?"

Best moment? Klein's comeback to Carlson's attack, "This is obviously a pointless conversation, and I think less of you after, I have to say." Without skipping a beat, Klein responded, "I already think less of you."

Watch this very enjoyable woman get the best of Carlson below, from the January 30, 2019 Tucker Carlson Tonight.

I’d love to get a look at the operation that sics these trolls and assorted muppets onto ‘offending’ sites. I’m sure it would make for a brilliant sitcom setting – would leave The Office for dead :)

Monica Klein did not “smack down” Tucker Carlson. I watched it and let me tell you “I was insulted and embarassed” by her. All she could was spew out “talking points” Obviously she never had children or if she did “God help those children”. Quit preaching the Helen Reddy I am woman theme. There are way too many mothers out there who disregard your insane statements. If you are looking for “stature with your statements”? You lost. People who protest and scream about women’s bodies crack me up because they are typically the ones who are so screwed up they can’t keep a relationship, they don’t know what sex they are, and they truly represent like minded screwed up women.

The point should be the women who continually have sex and then say “oops” I don’t want this child should be forced to have to take birth control or for God sakes have a hystorectomy. Quit costing the taxpayers for your mistakes.

Also there are many out there who can’t have a child and would love to have one and others “like you” throwing them away Because maybe they will cramp your style, might have some issues (look at the wonderful down syndrome children) as an example? You throw that one away.

Abortion may only apply if the child is technically not able to be saved or possibly in a rape case but not in the later trimesters. That is a child no other way to look at it. Good for OH for passing the heartbeat legislations.

If only we could have legislation to stop idiotic mouthpieces like Monica Klein.

I’m also intrigued by the pile-on on the Governor of Virginia for something he did as a (stupid) youngster in 1994, with absolutely NO, I repeat NO, evidence of his having behaved in the same way over the past 25 years.

Trump’s repeatedly offensive comments on women after the Access Hollywood tapes provides a good argument for accusing the trolls of “selective outrage”.

it’s the rampant hypocrisy that gets my goat.

How to detect the beginning of an election campaign???

Witness the insurgence of illiterate troll activity on sites like this one.

At least three of the trolls below are sockpuppets. The others are shills, aka the unwitting accomplices of their Dear Leader’s followers.

Klein NEVER answered the Question as she had NO ANSWER.

Mama Pink has been banned for her disgusting comment. But I have chosen to leave it up so people can see just what hideous hypocrites some pro-lifers are.

Fascinating to watch this blitz of ‘outraged citizens’ in action. Do we think that the Catholic church or Organised Action Against Choice (OAAC) puts out an APB for members to leap into action at the first sign of intelligent opposition to their forced parenthood agenda? Or could it be *ucker Carlson’s friends and family?

Personally, I would guess that somewhere in deepest Oklahoma (or maybe the Phillipines, for cost-effectiveness), there is a warehouse full of relatively literate professional trolls writing letters 10 hours a day on behalf of cashed up RWNJ groups nationwide – kinda like the contract equivalent of the Russian troll farms pretending to be Americans on Fox Insider and other RWNJ echo chambers.

this woman was the perfect example of what a npc is, you just simply can’t have a real conversation with this characters, it is so stupid for she comparing temporary separation in the border with permanent separation of a baby and the mother, over a million of abortions compared to the death of two children already dehydrated when in custody. Kudos to tucker for having patience with this derangement character.

Monica. Klein is a disgusting human being and I am being generous calling her human. She would have been right at home in a Nazi concentration camp working with Dr.mengala

Ha, ha, ha… Klein came across as the loon she is. Carlson sought her thoughts on murdering a baby as it emerged from the birth canal after a normal full term pregnancy. Her “responses” amounted to nothing more than ad hominem and standard propaganda deflections that avoided the core subject. You nut cases on the borderline fascist and certainly communist left are incapable of maintaining a civil discussion on any single public policy issue. Regretfully your infantile behavior is likely to lead to violence. Quite a shame but we’ll better off without you.

And Trump voters every one, Scoot, I’ll be bound. Abortion is not anybody’s first choice in the family planning department, but then, many of these same holy rollers are hellbent on denying contraception to the people as well.

Catholics have been hung up on the subject for generations, but the fundamentalists only picked up an aversion to abortion in the seventies, when it suddenly became a useful tool for their Mind Controllers to lash the ungodly freedom seekers with. What a sad waste of human brain-power.

Amazing to see angry Right Wingers getting up early to say untrue things on this matter. More Whack-a-mole while we wait for the Supreme Court to potentially gut Roe v Wade with the June Medical Services decision.

One more time, Monica Klein was aware of the obvious – that Tucker Carlson wasn’t interested in a conversation about women’s reproductive rights. He just wanted to try to “gotcha” her with his cherry-picking of out-of-context remarks that have already been debunked. Her point to Carlson was apparently lost on these posters: Namely, that we are aware of the games that angry Right Wingers are playing to portray reproductive rights laws as some kind of atrocity. And that’s not going to fly, period. Klein absolutely presented her position – that women are not going back to unsafe conditions in silence.

These are laws intended to deal with women and doctors handling medical emergencies without suddenly getting hit with uninformed Right Wing prosecutions from people like the Pence White House. Right Wingers trying to play games around this should be ashamed of themselves.

Monica Klein is speaking for women as whole. I wonder what makes Monica Klein a women other than having a vagina. Is she married, does she have children.? I doubt it, probably a soulless, heartless, corporate and political shill. Women don’t agree with you. You don’t stand for women or women’s rights. You stand for the destruction of the family, you stand for the destruction of women. Please don’t make women as miserable and depressed as you Monika. Your life is empty and meaningless.

Watched the segment. She totally sidestepped the question. It seems she only agreed to come on the show just to spew her unproven fear of roe vs wade being overturned. This new law on abortion allowing termination up to birth is no better than the Nazis murdering newborn babies at the death camps by throwing them alive into the burning fire. These people are now void of conscience. May God have mercy.

Watched the clip. As the interviewee, Monica looked unprepared (or unwilling) to answer the question on which she was invited to share her point of view. She engaged in circular conversation, repeating dismissive statements and never arriving at any kind of resolution.

Hi I’m an independent! This article doesn’t makes sense if you actually analayze what Tucker said and what Monica said. I encourage everyone to actually watch the video instead of letting this article do your thinking! It would be nice if Monica comes out with a stamens answering Tucker’s only question. Again I’m neither consverative or liberal.

Tucker asked her what she thought about third trimester abortions up to and even after birth. It was a simple, straightforward question. But all she could say was that the Republican Party is taking away women’s rights, etc. She continually dodged the question and NEVER answered it. SHE COULD NOT DEFEND HER POSITION!

Interesting to see the trolls out to play right now. And here we go again with the Whack-a-Mole game. Incredible that angry Right Wingers want to keep doing this.

Governor Northam made comments about what could happen given a serious problem at the point of delivery and a baby that would either be unable to survive very long or would be undergoing serious medical complications. He wasn’t talking about delivering a baby and then killing the baby. His point was that if they delivered such an unviable infant, they would discuss the situation with the mother to see what the family wanted to do. There’s a HUGE difference between that scenario and the ridiculous one that pundits like Tucker Carlson would like to blow out of context. And Governor Northam’s answer to people like Tucker Carlson is instructive: He said this behavior by angry Right Wingers is “shameful and disgusting”.

Carlson’s intention here was to play a “gotcha” game with Monica Klein and she wasn’t having it. His constant attempts to make it sound like Governor Northam had somehow done something terrible were clearly intended to then smear any mother who needs to have a medical procedure late in their pregnancy, which then leads to smearing any mother who needs to have such a procedure, period.

Given that we are on the verge of the Kavanaugh Supreme Court gutting most of Roe v Wade as of next week if they deny a stay in June Medical Services v Gee, this is extremely apropos for Monica Klein to discuss, and that is the reason she took the approach she did here. Carlson’s inability to get her to fall into his trap clearly frustrated him, to the point that he began making snide comments, which she called him on immediately.

Carlson and his fellow Right Wingers should be ashamed of themselves for their conduct here. They do not have any moral high ground when they take actions like these.

I guess we should support abortion and abortion should only be done by democrats. We dont want their genes to spread. Theyre disgusting and filthy. Shooters should be going after them instead of going to school.

As a mother and Grandmother who is truly blessed, I ask everyone to pray for Monica Klien’s soul.

Tucker did an excellent job of maintaining his composure and presenting himself as the professional he is. His “mom” should be proud.

Can’t help but wonder what Monica’s mother thinks?
Diana King commented 2019-01-31 01:05:50 -0500 · Flag
In what world did she smack down Tucker? She showed nothing but ignorance every time she opened her mouth. She didn’t have an original thought or anything useful to contribute to the conversation. Go back to your puppet master!
kim warren commented 2019-01-31 00:27:07 -0500 · Flag
so to be clear…her refusing to answer his questions, making an ass of herself by rolling her eyes and smirking and shouting talking points is now called a “smackdown”? Even the pro choice camp on twitter disagrees. Her ratio is impressive.
