    He's claiming that it is "probably illegal" for Biden to consider a black woman as a running mate

    Are you KIDDING?

    He's gone full on racist...

    Are you sure you framed the conversation in an appropriate way? Why not tell the whole story or reference his reasoning? One hopes you didn't chip a tooth with the violent jerking of your knee....

    His reasoning is obvious. Carlson thinks the VP pick is subject to the same laws governing employment discrimination. He's a fool.

    Just a thought. How is announcing that you'd only nominate a black female any different from a candidate announcing he'd only nominate a white male? The law is pretty clear on this. It's discriminatory, and is a violation of the law. Of course democrats like discrimination in all of its forms, and especially when it panders to an optic like this one. Go ahead liberals. Explain how making a hiring choice based on immutable factors doesn't constitute discrimination in the hiring decision.

    Because we've only had white males until this point. Time to give others a shot.

    Nobody says he's only going to pick a white male, because that was always a given. Giving others a chance is anti-discriminatory.

    Hmmm. Good question. If I were to announce that I had a job opening, and that I was only considering white women, would that be legal?

    Perhaps he is still trying to get people to forget about the like-minded racist he had as a head writer for years.

    In this case giving others a chance is called politics. Biden is such an awful candidate he has to try and keep the democrat voter coalition cobbled together.

    Or maybe you are trying to distract from the racist democrat candidate?

    No. He's such a good candidate he's actually doing something he's committed to - equal representation - unlike Trump. Trump uses government to his, his family's and his cronies' benefit. Biden represents the people. Good luck, though.

    Nah. It's just more white power nonsense. Consider his audience.

    LOL... Thanks for the example. Discrimination lives in the democratic party cause they like it.

    What? Not having blacks in government is discriminatory. Your post makes no sense.

    Creating reservations is discrimination. Period.

    No, it would be fire-bombed.

    There is nothing illegal about this. Biden can choose anyone for any reason he wants

    Tucker is playing to his racist base

    If it was a part in a play, yes.

    This isn't a job opening. It's an election.
