Moderator Tucker Carlson didn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-may-ease-ccp-virus-lockdown-from-march-foreign-secretary-says\/\" title=\"UK May Ease CCP Virus Lockdown From March, Foreign Secretary Says\">hold back<\/a> as he grilled Republican presidential candidates on important issues.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson, known for his commanding presence, didn&#8217;t hesitate to challenge the candidates. He even made mincemeat out of former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-committee-questions-biden-ice-nominee-over-title-42\/\" title=\"Senate committee questions Biden ICE nominee over Title 42\">faced tough questions<\/a> about his veto of a bill aimed at protecting children from transgender surgeries and hormone &#8220;therapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next in line was Pence, who has been trying to distance himself from former President Donald Trump while presenting himself as a statesman. However, his efforts haven&#8217;t resonated with potential voters, as polling suggests.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson seized the opportunity to question Pence about the Capitol incursion. He asked, &#8220;Do you think that was an insurrection?&#8221; Pence hesitated, taking a moment to thank the event organizers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-i-just-take-a-moment-pence-forced-to-stall-after-tucker-asks-the-question-on-everyones-mind\/\" title=\"'Pence Stalls as Tucker Asks the Burning Question'\">mention pro-life protections<\/a> soon to be signed into law by Iowa Gov.

Pence seemed irritated by the suggestion and replied, &#8220;It&#8217;s not my concern.
