Tucker Carlson floats moderating alternate GOP primary debate with Trump

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News prime-time host whose exit from the network sent shockwaves through political media last week, is reportedly floating the idea of hosting a Republican primary forum.

Carlson’s unexpected departure from the company has left the media world wondering what he will do next. Carlson, according to the Washington Post, citing people familiar with his thinking, is interested in hosting a forum for 2024 GOP candidates.

Carlson has even chatted about the idea with former President Trump, according to the report, who has threatened to skip one or both of the first Republican debates that are scheduled for the summer. The first GOP debate is slated to be hosted by Carlson’s former network, Fox News.

Carlson’s contract with Fox News reportedly runs through the end of 2024, which could limit his ability to dip his toes into other ventures until then.

going to run smack dab into the non-compete clause in his contract that is no doubt still paying him until it expires.

Any move by Fucker will lead to a leak of more embarrassing shit about what a piece of shit he is. It will be death by a thousand paper cuts.

He's kind of dumb enough to try something like that and then claim that since he was not in US jurisdiction nobody can do anything about.

On the upside, of he did that, maybe he'd have to stay there.
