Tim Scott interrupts Tucker Carlson interview – Here’s why

Senator Tim Scott Gets Up in the Middle of Tucker Carlson Interview – Here’s His Explanation

During a sit-down interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina decided to break the mold and make a bold move. Instead of staying seated like most interviewees, Scott got up and started walking around.

The interview, which lasted about 30 minutes, covered a range of topics including the U.S.-Mexico border and the fentanyl crisis. While Carlson remained seated, Scott stood for the majority of the conversation.

When Carlson asked Scott if he was concerned about the possibility of war with Russia, given President Joe Biden’s recent decision to mobilize reserve troops, Scott addressed the question while standing. He explained, “My mama wanted a preacher, so I’m going to stand up and do it the Southern way.”

The unexpected move caught Carlson off guard, and he couldn’t help but laugh. He jokingly shouted, “Preach!” in response to Scott’s statement. Scott even added a “Hallelujah” as he briefly moved in a preacher-like manner.

Twitter users were quick to react to the moment, with one writing, “Tucker’s face cracking me up as Scott gets up and starts pacing, lol.” Another user commented, “Tucker’s face when he gets up to talk. ‘Where’s this guy going? I had more questions.'”

However, not everyone found Scott’s actions amusing. One Twitter user expressed their concern, stating, “The way Tim Scott stood up and walked around to speak in a ‘preaching’ manner during this sit-down interview just seemed a little weird & slightly disrespectful towards Tucker.”

The interview was part of the GOP presidential forum hosted by Tucker Carlson and organized by Glenn Beck’s organization, The Blaze. Throughout the event, Carlson interviewed several GOP presidential hopefuls, including Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Nikki Haley.
