Tucker to WHCA Pres: "Do You Think It's OK There's Zero Registered Republicans In The WH Press Corps?"

"If you had a White House press corps that was 100 percent middle-aged white men," Carlson told Mason, "there would be a full-blown outcry about the lack of diversity and I bet you $100 you would weigh in and say, 'You're right, this doesn't look like America.'

"Do you think it's OK that there are zero registered Republicans in the White House press corps?" the host asked.

"I think what's important is that we have a press corps that's made up of journalists who report the truth and who robustly report on the president of the United States," Mason answered.

Carlson wrapped up the discussion by asking Mason, "Is political diversity important to you?"

"Is diversity important? Of course," Mason said. "Is it my job to talk about what journalists in the White House press corps do? Yes. What they do is report the news regardless of what political party controls the white House

"I wish I believed that," Carlson answered. "I don't."
