Mark Twain wisely said “when you find yourself on the side of the majority, pause and reflect”.

Laura Loomet calling for Tucker Carlson to be investigated and charged.
It’s madness. Based on no meaningful evidence, just abuse of the levers of power they now have to manufacture charges and prosecute journalists.
