Tucker Carlson slammed longshot Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie over the weekend after the former New Jersey governor took a shot at Carlson’s views about the war in Ukraine.

“Sounds like this could use a longer conversation,” Carlson wrote on Twitter Sunday afternoon. “We just asked @GovChristie to sit down and explain his views on Ukraine. He refused.”

“You hate to think that Chris Christie is a blustery coward who plays the tough guy with sycophants at ABC but won’t answer real questions, but who knows?” he continued. “We hope he reconsiders.”

Christie said during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday that he would have pushed back on Carlson last week at an event in Iowa—if Christie had decided to attend the event.

“I would have said, ‘You’ve always been wrong about this, Tucker, and you’re still wrong,’” Christie said. “That, in fact, what’s going on, George, is that this is a proxy war with China. The Chinese are funding the Russian war by buying Russian oil. They’re coordinating with the Iranians to provide lethal weapons to the Russian army.”

“And we can decide when to have this conflict,” he continued. “Right now the Ukrainians are willing to fight this fight for themselves if they have our support to be able to win it. If the Chinese watch us back away from Ukraine, as Tucker Carlson and others would advocate, believe me, the next move will be Taiwan.”

Christie added that he believes, based on polling and what he has seen when talking to voters, that “a majority of Republicans want us to be supporting Ukraine because those folks are fighting for their own freedom, their own liberty, and they’re degrading the Russian army and sending a message to the Chinese.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said during an interview over the weekend that the U.S. Secret Service does not appear to have asked President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, about the cocaine that was found in the White Houses earlier this month.

Cotton made the remarks during an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News’ “Fox News Sunday” when asked about what the latest developments in the case are.

“We’ve got no answers,” Cotton said in response to the letter that he sent to the Secret Service. “That’s not surprising. The Secret Service is a troubled agency as it’s long had challenges. It probably needs new leadership.”

“I take this very seriously. I mean, what if this was anthrax?” he continued. “This is supposed to be the most secure building in the world. Yet the Secret Service closed down this investigation after just a few days. It’s my understanding, they barely conducted in any interviews. I don’t think they interviewed the president’s son, who’s a known cocaine addict.”

“This is like if Hamburglar lived in the White House, all the hamburgers disappeared, and they said they didn’t have any suspects or know one they could question,” he said. “They know who went through those doors, so they can interview them as well. If the president were really serious about it, he could demand everybody that goes through those doors, submit to a drug test. You can use hair testing samples and identify anyone who’s used cocaine in the last few months. Those are the steps you would take if you took this seriously. This just seems like another Biden cover up well.”
