Yes! What I admired most was her ability to laugh at him, which was truly a thing of beauty. It’s the perfect way to diffuse condescending male nonsense and bring the conversation back to consensual reality (!). It allowed her to reframe his immature spin into rational adult discourse — which was all the more…

And that’s exactly what carnival barkers like Carlson are counting on. The shouting, the insults, the willful misinterpretation of Duca’s argument are all designed to leave her flummoxed, intimidated, spinning. He wanted to divert her from sharing her POV and instead engage in a pit struggle to somehow ‘fix’ Carlson’s…

Right? I’m probably twice her age and used to public speaking and I would have been stammering and umm-ing in the face of such hostile idiocy; she was cool and incisively articulate, never allowed him to get away with his catty little deflections. I do hope we see a LOT more of Duca in the media.

About 8 years ago I was a hostess at a trendy DC restaurant. Carlson would make a reservation every Wednesday under a pseudonym, because he seemed to think he was hot shit. Meanwhile Tim Russert used to come in without a reservation and just eat at the bar. I remember once his wife met him there, and as there were no…

Poor Tucker! You can see he gets really upset at having this young lady challenge him and point out that he’s a partisan hack. He obviously needs his own safe space where there aren’t any mean, nasty girls to stand up to him and diminish his manhood (which must not amount to much to begin with). Ideally far, far…

what’s really amazing about this is when he reads an excerpt from her article and takes great umbrage with her use of the word “sovereignty.” he laughs at her, calls her ideas moronic, clearly thinks she has used the word incorrectly. she hasn’t; he just (apparently?) isn’t aware of her perfectly valid usage.

In general I agree. Hasan Minaj on the daily show (who is kind of killing it lately) responded to the I’m not racist, I’m just pro Trump argument with that those people don’t hate him, but have decided to not care about him. And fuck them for that.

“the sky is blue.”

It’s the hypocrisy of claiming she is fighting for pro-woman values while simultaneously supporting an anti-woman candidate. That simple.

A day before a Trump rally in the state, I was waiting in the Portland, ME airport at my gate when Tucker got off the plane I was about to board. I was less than three feet away. I pointed at him and laughed, Nelson style, really loud. It was my finest moment.

He spent the rest of the interview trying to delegitimize Duca by referencing articles she’s written about fashion and celebrities (“you should stick to the thigh high boots, you’re better at that”)

I cringed before clicking on the link to the Carlson/Duca exchange; wasn’t sure I’d be able to stomach Carlson on Christmas Eve. But Duca’s measured and focused commentary and responses were brilliant. She kept her cool in the face of Carlson’s repellant, bald-faced bullying. I sincerely applaud her. Awesome…

Carlson, on the other hand, tried to put even more words in Duca’s mouth, claiming for instance that she had called Ivanka “anti-woman,” when in fact she had noted that Ivanka has been a longtime advocate for the “most anti-woman candidate in decades” (her daddy).

In which a prissy little prig who probably wiped himself down this morning with cologne samples from GQ suggests that a far more intelligent writer should “stick to fashion.”

LAUREN DUCA IS A GODDAMN HERO.

Carlson is nothing, nothing, nothing.

No woman should ever fuck Tucker Carlson again.

She should have called him a swollen partisan hack, but good on her anyway. Miles ahead of any mainstream “journalist.”

I was waiting for you guys to write about this...Duca handled herself so well considering she was being screamed at by a legitimate psycho

This was glorious TV.
