Representative Adam Kinzinger, fresh off an attempt to look like a “tough” guy by attacking a UFC fighter who opposed war against Russia, ducked an interview request from Tucker Carlson because the Fox News host is “hostile” and “interrupts and laughs” at his guests.

Kinzinger’s response was entirely predictable following a spat in which he mocked a guest of Carlson’s from last week – UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell.

Mitchell opposes U.S. involvement in Ukraine and expressed his view in an interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

The Illinois Republican shared a clip of the interview and mocked the UFC fighter, saying there’s little doubt the Greatest Generation would like to slap the “kid,” adding that there are tougher and braver people than Mitchell.
