Nobody’s perfect. I mean, it’s idiotic to doubt the election was stolen *in many ways* IMHO, but Tucker does a hell of a lot of good for our side. Gotta let this one slide.
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 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.”
