Carlson added that his own daughters are people he is extremely proud of and contrasted them with Cheney's daughter:
"Just on the downside, I’ve got a bunch of daughters that are just fine people, and I’m more proud of them than of anything in my life. And, if I had a daughter, you know, like Liz Cheney, I don’t believe in suicide, but I would consider it."
