Carlson had alleged that airport officials confiscated his passport and separated his executive producer for questioning following an interview with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. He characterized the experience as irregular before leaving the country later that day.
The U.S. Embassy in Israel rejected claims that Carlson was detained. A spokesperson said he underwent standard passport control procedures similar to those faced by other visitors.
In a statement, the Israel Airports Authority said Carlson and his team were not detained or interrogated, but were asked routine questions in a private VIP lounge to protect their privacy. The authority said no unusual incident occurred and denied any improper conduct.
Nothing new here.
He’s a liar. We know.
This emphasizes why Fox dumped dumped him
His reporting became fiction and they could be held libel for his false reporting
Just because he is a fanatic Jew hater , doesn’t mean he can’t be a liar as well , he is both, and more ימ״ש
YIMACH SHIMO. QATUKKA IS AN evil dangerous rodent
At least with Candace Owens you can says she went nuts after she gave birth. What’s Tuckers excuse?
