In Text Messages, Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Called Trump 'Demonic Force,' Doubted Election Fraud
People ^ | 2/17/2023 | Staff

A court filing made public this week reveals that Fox News hosts including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham were privately critical of Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen, with Carlson going so far as to call the former president "demonic."

Carlson called Trump "a demonic force" and worried the president would "destroy" Fox News

Carlson, in other conversations in the wake of the election, privately took aim at Trump himself, calling the then-president "the undisputed world champion" of "destroying things," and worrying that he would "destroy us if we play it wrong."

By Jan. 6, hours after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, Carlson was again criticizing Trump, texting a colleague that the then-president was "a demonic force, a destroyer. But he's not going to destroy us."

Tucker was a Never Trumper, until he wasn’t

He was Red Pilled and saw the light.
Moved out of DC with his family.

Now a very vocal opponent of The Deep State.
Flack. Target

People Mag?
bwahahahahahaha!!!

More from the filing. Fox panic over Newsmax ratings while The Steal was unfolding.

As host Dana Perino told
Republican Strategist Colin Reed on November 11, 2020:
“[T]here is this RAGING issue about fox losing tons of viewers and
many watching—get this—newsmax! Our viewers are so mad about
the election calls (as if our calls would have been any different. It’s just
votes!)….So this day of reckoning was going to come at some point –
where the embrace of Trump became an albatross we can’t shake right
away if ever.”

FBN President
Petterson told Gary Schreier on November 12 that Newsmax’s 7pm host had
“delivered over 1 million total viewers,” to which Schreier responded, “I see it.
Jesus.” Ex.512; see also Ex.407 (“newsmax is getting a huge spike in ratings”
related to election coverage); Ex.130, L. Murdoch 145:20-147:24 (Fox’s drop in
ratings was “absolutely” a concern).

I wonder if they really believe that Xao Bi-Dung got more votes than the big-eared Halfrican?

4 Powerful Pro-Life Quotes from President Trump’s State of the Union Address

President Donald Trump presented his State of the Union address on February 5, 2019.

He discussed some of the abortion issues facing our culture, especially regarding New York’s legalization of full-term abortions.

Here’s some of his quotes addressing the protection of the unborn:

1) “These are living, feeling, beautiful babies…”
“There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days.
“Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from a mother’s womb, moments from birth.
“These are living, feeling beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and their dreams with the world.”

2) “To defend the dignity of every person…”
“We had the case of the Governor of Virginia where he stated that he would execute a baby after birth.
“To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking Congress to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb.”

3) “Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life.”

4) “All children, born and unborn, are made in the holy image of God.”
“Let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: All children, born and unborn, are made in the holy image of God.”

Demonic force Tucker? I think not. Maybe Tucker needs to look in the mirror. He's been siding with Russia and now he slanders one of the least demonic politicians I've ever seen.

Tucker might really support Ukraine in private. You never know with Two-Faced Tucker. His Putin puffing might all be for show.

Tucker doubted the Big Steal THEN. He believes it now, mocking the “results”, practically on a weekly basis.

Did Tucker apologize yet for calling President Trump “demonic”?

BS. You think opposing the $100B makes him POPULAR now?

Tucker hated President Reagan, too. Tucker is a fake and a fraud.

This is typical MSM. Quote things people say before they learned the truth. We instinctively knew the cheating was rampant but people like Tucker and the others needed to be smacked in the face with the truth before they could accept it.

Fox was complicit with the fraud, so someone over there knows for certain that he didn’t, though they will never admit it.

Maybe he believes it now.

Maybe he is saying what his audience wants to hear.

I am fairly sure it is one of those two.
