by Jeff Poor, Breitbart:
Thursday, fill-in host Tulsi Gabbard opened FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on the heels of her interview with Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) with a criticism of so-called “permanent Washington.”
Santos, who is embroiled in controversy for alleged misleading statements, was just one example of “liars and opportunists” that plagued Washington politics, according to Gabbard.

GABBARD: Now, after that interview, we heard from a lot of people on all ends of the political spectrum. There were some conservatives who were suggesting that Santos’ lies paled in comparison to the lies told by top Democrats about their own personal lives. They also suggest that even if Santos is a liar, it’s better for the country if Republicans hold on to as many seats as possible in the House.
Now on the liberal side, this show received praise from outlets and people that are normally attacking us. Many are welcoming the Federal and local investigations into George Santos that have begun, even though it’s not quite yet clear what crime he may have committed.
Now, some of the architects of the Russia collusion hoax, like disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok were especially thrilled. In fact, Strzok is now on social media implying without any evidence, no surprise, that Santos may be a pawn of Russian intelligence.
Now, if you’re like most Americans, you care about the truth more than partisan politics. But unfortunately, there are too many politicians in cable news shows who only care about raw partisan political calculations, and that’s why they are not willing to call out anyone from their own team.
As a result, permanent Washington is overrun with liars and opportunists who have no problem whatsoever deceiving the American people, just to further their own interests.
Now, in our interview, George Santos invoked lies by Democrats as an excuse for his own lies. It’s not, it’s inexcusable. But at the same time, it is also true that many of the same Democrats who are gleeful about Santos being actually held accountable publicly for his lies are definitely silent about Joe Biden and his deceptions, about his own biography.
There’s too many to count, but here is just one.

JOE BIDEN, THEN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him and Robben Island.
One of the most saintly guys I ever knew because I was arrested trying to see him when I went down to South Africa, Nelson Mandela.
I came back from South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela and getting arrested for trying to see him on Robben Island, he was in prison.

GABBARD: Now, Joe Biden didn’t just lie about being arrested as a Civil Rights activist, he also lied about having three undergraduate degrees, about finishing in the top half of his Law School class. He lied about his family’s history in the coal mines.
