He was wrong before - just like 80% of the population and 99% of the media.
So what. He’s a truth-teller now.
If we called out every truth-teller as a hypocrite for being wrong in the past - there would be no one left standing.
Tucker Carlson is one of the very few people in the media daring to tell the truth right now. Who benefits from discrediting him for his past statements?
Certainly not us.
On November 19, 2020, Carlson explained on Tucker Carlson Tonight:
“[W]e invited Sidney Powell on the show. … But she never sent us any
evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page. When we
kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her. When we
checked with others around the Trump Campaign, people in positions of
authority they told us, Powell has never given them any evidence either
nor did she provide any today at the press conference.” Ex.A21, Tucker
Carlson Tonight Tr. 6 (Nov. 19, 2020).
• On November 20, 2020, Carlson explained on Tucker Carlson Tonight:
“[T]hey have not seen a single piece of evidence showing that software
change[d] votes. … And by they, we are including other members of
Donald Trump’s own legal team. They have not seen Powell’s evidence
either, no testimony from employees inside the software companies, no
damning internal documents, no copies of the software itself.” Ex.A21,
Tucker Carlson Tonight Tr. 5 (Nov. 20, 2020).
Indeed, far from
stating that Lindell’s claims were true, Carlson cast doubt on them by describing
them as “conspiracy theories.”
The broader context of Tucker Carlson Tonight reinforces that conclusion.
Carlson explained in his previous shows that he had not seen any evidence to support
the President’s allegations against Dominion. On November 19, he explained that
Powell had “never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not
a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.
When we checked with others around the Trump Campaign, people in positions of
authority they told us, Powell has never giving them any evidence either. Nor did
she provide any today at the press conference.” Ex.A19, Tucker Carlson Tonight
Tr. 6 (Nov. 19, 2020).
Likewise, on November 20, Carlson stated that “they have
not seen a single piece of evidence showing that software change[d] votes. … And
by they, we are including other members of Donald Trump’s own legal team. They
have not seen Powell’s evidence either, no testimony from employees inside the
software companies, no damning internal documents, no copies of the software
itself.” Ex.A21, Tucker Carlson Tonight Tr. 5 (Nov. 20, 2020).
In context, a
reasonable viewer of Tucker Carlson Tonight would understand that any allegations
Lindell may have leveled about Dominion were entirely his own, and that the
allegations were unproven.

Tucker will have to testify at the Dominion trial in April and he will NOT testify that the stolen election was stolen.
Hannity and Ingraham and the Murdochs will also have to testify in court, too.
Do you really think Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham and the Murdochs will support President Trump in court?
Tucker Carlson is too moronic to be teo faced.
Yes, but I think it is more when the show airs vs loyalty. Maybe I am wrong. The Five does not really do much for me although I generally watch segments that appear interesting on YouTube as I no longer have cable/satellite.
I was “inflammatory” back when The Steal was happening from Nov 2020-Feb 2021, too.
“By Jan. 6, hours after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, “
No bias there!
People Magazine, really?
Here’s the filing. Read Tucker’s comments for yourself.

“ Two-faced Tucker exposed. ”
********************************
Wow. In addition to your hyperactive jihad in support of the globalists’ Ukraine project, I see that you’re now waging jihad against Tucker who is a warrior in the fight against the globalists.
It amazes me how few people comprehend how damaging Lin Wood, Mike Lindell, and Sidney Powell were to Trump’s effort to question the election results. Rudy G went along with this $hit show as well.
Any good trial attorney will tell you that the best “case” is one that is limited to the most obvious thing. You focus on what is easy to understand, easy to prove, and you let the “jury” draw additional conclusions, but you have to win them first so you put forth the best case.
The “alt-right” media killed any chance of putting forth a good challenge. The most obvious FACT after the election were that hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were illegally inserted into the election. No signature verification, no opposition observers, no chain of custody, they did not meet the election deadlines, AND they were statistically far different than ballots counted on election day. There are election laws about all of this.
Instead, we were treated to all kinds of fantastical claims about hacking from Italy, raids on the CIA in Germany, and Lindell’s claims about Dominion. While I am willing to take a closer look at “software” used around the country, these were NOT the best claim and it not only diluted the legal cases brought forth, but it allowed the media to cover the fantastical crap that made people questioning the election look like kooks.
Trump should have listed to Navarro. His take on the election was very straight-forward and it was easy to understand.
Just my .02
Tell Tucker to apologize to President Trump for calling him “demonic”.
If Tucker had not been a collaborator in The Steal, President Trump would still be in office and Putin never would have invaded Ukraine in the first place.
He’s not wrong if you consider the context. As POTUS, Trump was a master at self-sabotage (often through train wreck comments) and making some really poor personnel choices.
Tucker and Fox News exist for one specific reason: to distract conservatives with nonsense to keep us from doing anything.
Tucker every weekend goes to parties with his liberal media friends and brags to them:
“This week we talked about nothing but women’s sports. We got the sheep so enraged on that one, that they didn’t even notice that congress made it even easier yesterday to outsource American jobs.”
Then they laugh together at all the viewers who think Fox News is on “their side.”
Just last night Tucker was saying how Joe Biden got so many million more votes (13 million?) than Barack Obama. He said it in an incredulous, mocking way (so common of Tucker now) – so he is saying, yes, it was STOLEN!
Back in 2020 I was disappointed too. I think Tucker was weak back then, but now he has found his soul and is going whole hog crazy on the batshit crazy left.
That is a GOOD thing. They say ridicule and mockery works... I hope so! Tucker is good at that while exposing the truth.
“It amazes me how few people comprehend how damaging Lin Wood, Mike Lindell, and Sidney Powell were to Trump’s effort to question the election results.”
Very true. The steal was planned for years. Were having some agents of chaos ready to confuse and distract part of that plan?
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.
In either case, he’s the only one saying it. Its good that it’s being said.
Tucker’s CNN and MSNBC roots are showing.
Yeah, me too. He’s been sticking his neck out to report on stories that no one else will touch for quite a while now.
