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."
-snip-
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."

After Tucker, who's next? We're running out of conservatives thanks to the Democrap playbook.........
Idiots here don't see the Democrats eating their own do they?

Tucker doubted the Big Steal THEN. He believes it now, mocking the “results”, practically on a weekly basis.
There are a number of components. The ‘Kraken’ is one part, for which evidence was not provided. There are a lot of other things, which were ‘exceptionally odd’ and which require explanation which never came, but are not actual proof of election fraud without further examination. There is the systematic destruction of laws which would secure the election from a variety of fraudulent activities, or at the least would allow them to be detected and demonstrated. There is the conspiracy to stock voting centers with partisan election workers and exclude unallied observers. There is also the entire media/tech conspiracy to rig the information available to voters, in part coordinated by the FBI and other government agencies.
The last are now pretty ironclad.

Tucker hated President Reagan, too. Tucker is a fake and a fraud.
Are you saying that Tucker is not really a libertarian, nor at that a relatively recent convert?

Maybe he believes it now.
[...]
Or maybe he believes in a different version of it than the Sidney Powell version being bandied around then.

Tucker is generally skeptical of most things and his shtick is built on questioning conventional wisdom and the media narrative.
Yep. Sometimes he says very sensible things, and sometimes he says fairly silly things. He also gives audience to some things which may be wrong overall, but have interesting parts within them that consideration of which can expose other truths.
But he also constantly tells his audience to be skeptical and think for themselves.

Trump doesn’t have to “destroy” Fox News it’s self induced.
Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham were privately critical of Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Figures, false allegation from the notorious peanut gallery. LOL, indeed 🤪
To: marcusmaximus
It’s okay. They’ll believe he was forced to say it and then he will insinuate it on his show or leave bread crumbs, without actually saying it and they’ll lap it up. He will be spreading truth at great personal risk, a true hero. You’ll see.
To: All
Unbelieveable.
They stabbed DJT in the back.
Tucker, Sean and Laura lied thru their teeth.
They threw Sydney and Rudy under the bus.
So, Fox might lose 1.6 billion. They won’t miss it.

Have you apologized yet for being a troll?

"None of the other Fox hosts called President Trump “demonic”. Only Tucker Carlson did."
Sadly, you are not the only troll here on JimRob's
CONSERVATIVE website, even though it does state this site is for
CONSERVATIVES.

Tucker knew these secret remarks would come out in court discovery so he’s changed his public remarks recently to distract from his true opinions. He’s admitted what he really thinks in private. The guy is a total liar.
To: Renfrew
What will the GOP do next, after voter fraud happens, again, after the November ‘24 general election? If people have watched professional wrestling enough to figure out how they manipulate the audience's emotions then they may understand how the evening news now works.
Anyone here besides me remember how famous and conservative Arianna Huffington was on the Sunday News shows?

Exactly my thoughts. Although, I am convinced that there were enough stuffed ballots to steal the election without any of the other factors. 2000 Mules proved dispositive for me.

Some people are so gullible that they think a paid actor on tv is someone to trust.
We are nothing to the elite Republicans. The only difference between the Democrats and them is that the Republican talking heads pretend to hold our beliefs. It’s all a game of mocking the religious and the elderly behind their backs.
These people are grifters, pure and simple, regardless of what words they spout. They’ve always got a book and a subscription to sell to fleece the rubes.
