Ex-Fox Colleague Tears Into Tucker for Saying He Hates Trump ‘Passionately’
Newsmax host Eric Bolling took a pointed swipe at his former Fox News colleague Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night over recent revelations that Carlson privately admitted to hating former President Donald Trump “passionately.”
After the Trump-boosting Newsmax star said he “just can’t get past this,” MAGA superfan Kari Lake agreed that Carlson’s secret Trump hate “sounds awful” before she expressed hope that the Fox host has since “had a change of heart.”
Despite portraying himself publicly as a Trump-sympathetic figure, text exchanges dug up by Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit found the Fox News star repeatedly trashing the ex-president. “I hate him passionately,” Carlson texted an unknown Fox staffer just two days before the Jan. 6 insurrection, adding: “There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”
