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."

Nuking up Iran in partnership with Russia isn’t a globalist project? The WEF EU getting its energy from Russia isn’t a globalist project? Ukraine is small potatoes and a sidebar issue in comparison. Don’t be duped.

Sounds right for a wealth sovereign.

It’s past time to kick them out of politics and government.

Speaking of two-faced, you’re attacking Tucker for hurting your feelings about Ukraine by attacking Tucker’s attack on Trump, who as POTUS attacked Ukraine as being utterly corrupt.

I like that they allow Tucker to say and cover stories the others don’t, but I’ve never trusted him either. The only people I trust are those being attacked by the
the deep state. Now if Tucker was fired from his position, then perhaps I would consider him legit.

Fox news got the memo and were on board with the steal. Their job was to sell the steal to republicans. I wonder if Tucker has since changed his mind though.

Do you think you are one of those people that Tucker laughs at while he collects his paycheck?

Tucker will have to testify in the Dominion trial in April. He will not say the election was stolen (even though it was and Fox News was one of the collaborators in the steal).

I agree. No one at Fox has ever been allowed to utter the words “stolen election”. They would be fired immediately,

However. Tucker Carlson is in a different class than all those others you mentioned.

Unlike them, he has talked about other taboo subjects like:

FBI involvement in the fake Jan 6 insurrection.
Injustices surrounding the treatment of innocent Jan 6 protesters.
The injustice of punishing people for saying the election was stolen.
The silencing of mmm and cancelling of people who question the safety of Covid fake vaccines and other Covid mandates.
The China pushing of fentanyl.
The China and Fauci complicity in Covid development.
The border invasion.
The Neocon warmongering re Ukraine.
The Russia hoax and other deep state conspiracies.
The corruption of the Fed, the DOJ and the Biden Crime family.

The list goes on.

No one else at Fox or anywhere else in MSM will touch any of these subjects, except sometimes that bald Brit, Steve something.

We are lucky to have Tucker - never look a gift horse in the mouth.

EU getting its energy from Russia a globalist project? Really?

Well, after seeing Biden bomb and destroy the jointly owned German-Russian Nord Stream pipeline network I’d say not. Further, I’d say that only the most gullible and those with the lowest IQs in our midst would belief that.

Tuck's punishment should be having to wear his old bow ties for the next two years.

Of course not. Just about everything he says are things that I support. Hell, I’d like to see ALL THE MEDIA say the things Tucker does and I’d be perfectly fine with them going home and laughing.

Oh C’mon, do you have proof the US blew up the pipeline? Ya’ll make up narratives, in here folks get the pleasure of watching ya’ll create them in real time. Isn’t this opinion the same as Mr. Pelosi narrative created?

Being friends with Hunter and the Biden family and calling Trump a demon, behind your back, is lucky to have? Because he repeats what you already believe to you, on the teevee? 😂

I would even venture a guess that FNC asked AT&T to ice Newsmax.

You mean the pipeline Biden lifted Trump’s sanctions on at the request of Germany? Oddly, half of it still works. Seems somebody didn’t want to blow it up fully. Regardless, Nordstream pipeline is dead politically and you can thank Putin’s genocidal attack on Ukraine for it.

The day Greg Kelly got a million viewers on Newsmax during The Steal was a really bad day for Fox News.

“Just about everything he says are things that I support.”

So Tucker has managed to befuddle you into believing everything he spews out, and you still don’t think you are one of his useful idiots?

Give it up - you are arguing on the wrong side and it’s making you look foolish
