’B*tch, Are You in Charge?’ Tucker Carlson Blasts Bush’s Actions on 9/11 in Error-Filled Rant

Carlson: “You know, George W. Bush fled Washington on 9/11. I lived there with three kids, and he ran away to some Air Force base in South Dakota. And I thought that was cowardly. And I said so at the time. And man, was I attacked for saying that. And I wrote a column about it in New York Magazine, where I then had a column. Hard to believe. But I felt that. I felt that. Like, that’s — I think the prerequisites of leadership are really basic. The first is caring about the people you lead. That’s number one. You know, deep in the way a father cares for his children or an officer cares for his troops. A president should care for his people. And that leads inexorably to the next requirement, which is bravery, physical courage. And I believe in that. And I’m not like some tough guy, but I just think it’s obvious if you’re in charge. You know, I’m at my house and I feel like someone broke in, I’m not going to say to my wife, ‘Hey, baby, go, go deal with the home invasion.’ I’m gonna deal with it because I’m dad. Okay? So if you’re the president of a country and your capital city is attacked as ours was at the Pentagon, and you run away, ‘Oh the Secret Service told me to.’ B*tch, are you in charge? Like, who’s daddy here? The Secret Service? Do you know what I mean? I found that totally contemptible.”
