During an interview on the radio show “Bo Snerdley’s Rush Hour” with host James Golden, the longtime producer of legendary conservative radio king Rush Limbaugh, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said attempted to clarify his unflattering comments about former President Donald J. Trump that made headlines after the content of private texts was used by rival media outlets to spark a rift between him and the 2024 Republican Party frontrunner .
In correspondence that is part of the $1.6 billion libel lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News, Carlson said, “I hate him fiercely.” Because that would be too hard to accept, we all act like we have a lot to show for our efforts. Dare I say it? Trump’s perks are minimal at best.
Carlson felt humbled by the brutally honest texts and remarks about Trump. He was given the opportunity to apologize for his harsh assessment of the former president during the discussion, which also covered his release of never-before-seen video footage of protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“Tucker, look, a number of people have told me that they read all this stuff in the news, saying you hate Trump, blah, blah, blah. They said, does Tucker favor the policies of Trump, all his policies?the situation regarding you and Donald Trump?Carlson was questioned by Golden, who put him on the spot as they both laughed.
Let’s see, I defended his ideas for four years, and tonight I will do it again, said Carlson. “Really, and I’m being pretty honest, I’m, oh, I love Trump, like a person. I think Trump is humorous and wise, and I told him that when he called me, you know , all hurt about I believe it’s reflected in the texts because at the time I was completely furious and in this court case, which I guess I’m not allowed to discuss, they were all taken totally illegitimately, in my opinion.
The Trump campaign had sent him the names of these dead voters who had voted, and we went and I repeated them on the air and some of them turned out to be alive. “But I’m furious that my private texts were excised, but those particular texts were excised exactly as I was texting one of my producers,” he said.
“I just felt embarrassed… And I believed then, as I do now, that the election wasn’t on par, it wasn’t a free and fair election. I was trying, I wanted proof, a Carlson continued.
There’s no way the man got 81. He referred to the extraordinary number of votes awarded to Joseph Biden in an election that many people, including Trump, still believe to be fraudulent. “He got more votes than President Obama, really? He asked.
He added, “You know…whatever you think of Obama, I never really liked Obama, but he’s a pretty talented politician…very talented and Joe Biden is senile and in his underdog. floor, explain to me how he got 81 million votes Therefore, I always believed that it was not on a level.
I know you’re claiming the election was rigged, send me some examples and I’ll put them out there, and one of them was those dead voters,” he told Trump supporters. Yes, some of them were found to be still alive, and I was furious at the complete and utter incompetence of the campaign. You know, I’m like the only one open-minded about the election being unfair, and that’s what they send me?
In any case, it doesn’t matter. I felt enraged. It was a special case,” Carlson noted, attributing the contentious statements to impatience.
