Tucker Carlson Desperately Tries to Walk Back Trump ‘Hate’
Fox News star Tucker Carlson really wants his MAGA-loving viewers to forget that he said that he hates Donald Trump “passionately” and believes “there isn't really an upside” to the former president because he’s a “demonic force.”
Appearing on conservative radio host Bo Snerdley’s show on Monday, Carlson lamented over the fact that a slew of his private texts and emails surrounding the 2020 election were made public in the Dominion lawsuit. The voting software firm has accused Fox News of knowingly airing baseless election fraud claims to boost sagging ratings after disgruntled Trump supporters abandoned the channel following its election night call of Arizona for President Joe Biden.
“Tucker, listen, I’ve had a number of people saying they read all these things in the paper—‘You hate Trump blah, blah, blah.’ Does Tucker like Trump’s policies, any policies of his?” Snerdely wondered in a clip flagged by Media Matters. “What’s the deal with you and Donald Trump?”
