Tucker Carlson Calls UFOs More Credible Than Trump’s Election Fraud Claims


Fox News host Tucker Carlson – one of Donald Trump’s most reliable supporters on cable news – called out the president’s campaign lawyers for pushing baseless conspiracy theories about the election.

When you lose Tucker Carlson, it’s time to pack your bags

Over the past several weeks, as Donald Trump throws tantrums and pushes conspiracy theories about the election, most Republicans have either humored the president or stayed silent.

It’s a bad sign for Trump that Tucker Carlson is beginning to pull away from him by calling his fraud claims baseless and outlandish.

For the last four years, Donald Trump has been able to survive politically because right-wing media outlets like Fox News created an alternate reality in which he and his MAGA supporters could live.

It allowed him to get away with one scandal after another that no previous president would have been able to survive.

On Thursday night, that alternate reality cracked ever so slightly, signaling that the house of cards could be about to topple on Trump.

As a Republican president, when you start to lose Tucker Carlson, you know the end is near.

Using a bad character to redeem another bad character. Trump does an illegal move and has the hero (democracy) by the neck. His tag team partner, recognizing the unjustness of the situation, saves democracy by attacking Trump.

Carlson is considered to be a fiction writer for entertainment purposes, only some folks just don't get it.

the other side - "we want the truth"; "that's what separates us from them".

I can see why some who watch him would think he has credibility.
