Tucker Carlson says the CIA is building a criminal case against him. Joe Kent just resigned from the DNI’s counterterrorism office with a letter that contradicts itself. And legacy media — the same outlets that cheerleaded the Iraq war without a single tough question — are now going wall-to-wall negative on Iran. Coincidence?
Meseidy and Rachel break down Tucker’s pattern of CIA and NSA victim claims, Joe Kent’s scathing resignation letter (and his very different statements from just two years ago), how the media is rooting against America because they’re rooting against Trump, and Joy Reid’s take that the U.S. is only “marginally better” than Iran. Plus: Cuba’s electrical grid has completely collapsed, Iranian women soccer players are being threatened back home, and it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Real talk, no filter.
