Mike Pence clashes with Tucker Carlson in Iowa

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson clashed with 2024 Republican candidates like former Vice President Mike Pence at The Family Leadership Summit in Iowa on Friday, with some candidates expressing frustration that Carlson didn't focus the "fireside chats" on family issues which unite the crowd of evangelical Midwesterners, but instead, on topics like Ukraine and the 2020 election.

"I regret that we didn't have very much time during my time on stage talking about the progress for life or issues in the family," Pence told reporters after a tense encounter with the former Fox News host.

Asked by ABC News Correspondent MaryAlice Parks if Pence was surprised that he had to spend a majority of the discussion defending Ukraine, Pence said, "I'm really never surprised by Tucker Carlson."
