As expected, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee wiped the floor with Tucker Carlson—the “floor” in question being that of Ben-Gurion International Airport’s VIP lounge, since the hero of the woke right never actually ventured beyond the Tel Aviv terminal during his quick in-and-out publicity stunt.

Carlson’s method throughout the two-and-a-half-hour interview—conducted on Feb. 18 and aired on Feb. 20—was textbook “Gish Gallop”: a torrent of half-truths, selective history and outright falsehoods, frequently packing multiple allegations into a single question.

The aim of the interview from Carlson’s perspective wasn’t journalistic illumination, of course. The goal was to exhaust and push Huckabee into a defensive position.
