Tucker Carlson Continues to Embarrass Himself

“The date I saw it was concrete that there was a coup, and we lost our government was on November 22,” Paul, 88, told Carlson.

The date he’s referring to is November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

“That was 60 years ago and our lawmakers never talk about it,” Carlson said.

Paul believes the CIA was directly responsible for the assassination, saying he saw the death of the “republic” when former CIA Director Allen Dulles was allowed to serve on the controversial Warren Commission, which investigated Kennedy’s death. Dulles has previously resigned from his position in 1961 after reported tensions with Kennedy.

“The republic is gone,” Paul recalled about his reaction to Dulles’s appointment.
