Carlson called Luntz a “conventional liberal” and pointed his prior statements on immigration, the Second Amendment, and opioids as areas that leave much to be desired.

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) railed against big tech. Hawley noted how big tech flexed its muscles in the 2020 presidential election by deplatforming now-former President Donald Trump and censored a report about wrongdoings by Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) sounded off on Texas’ special House election that saw two Republicans advancing to a runoff for the seat. Scalise said the rejection of the Democrats in this race shows there is “really serious concern about the direction that the socialist Democrats are taking” the United States. He predicted that with America “rejecting socialism,” the GOP will win the House back in the upcoming midterm elections. “What I see across the country is dramatic enthusiasm for the Republican Party and a lot of really, really serious concern about the direction that the socialist Democrats are taking us,” Scalise advised. “Whether it’s Nancy Pelosi’s agenda, now Biden has embraced that far-left Bernie Sanders agenda, people don’t want this to become a socialist nation.
