NYT: "You've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist"

Tucker Carlson: "I have not said that"

NYT: You said, "Here's a leader mocking the Gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of Gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist?"

TC: "I actually did not say 'could this be the Antichrist?'"

NYT: ***plays clip of him saying exactly that***

TC: "I don't know where that comes from, but I know those words never left my lips"

Embarrassed to admit I used to enjoy watching him on Fox. What a fall.

Got TDS so bad he can't remember what he said? Or was that AI? I guess you can deny anything now and say it was AI.

The grift permits him to say outlandish things for the clicks while weaving in snippets of truth.

Then claim ignorance or ask forgiveness after the fact.

This board’s relationship with Tucker Carlson is wacky

Tucker is a mouth piece, sad downfall. Really didn’t take his text scandal about Trump seriously when it happened but it’s clear he dislikes Trump.

My theory on Tucks is that when he was shown the door at FNC, he had quite the financial hole to fill. I’m sure he was compensated quite well at Fox, and of course he and his family would have formed quite the status quo when it comes to quality of life, and of course the amount of money it takes to sustain it. To take a step down into any class lower than that wasn’t an option for them. So, quite simply, his every goal and mission was to maintain that quality of life, without interruption.

So, to match the his former salary for an anchor or prime time show host at such a large outlet like Fox, he’d have to take just a tad bit different approach in the digital media/podcast game, he would have to (and clearly has) leave all self-respect at the house and whore himself out to do or say whatever the hell he has to in order to achieve maximum “clicks.” He comes across as embarrassing and sad IMO, but I suppose enough money makes him totally fine with it.

According to Tucker he’s not worth anything significant though. He really pissed me off when he went off on someone asking him that. It’s okay for Tucker to criticize others but he can’t handle self criticism, especially his worth. Tucker is all about Tucker.

Maybe it wasn't Tucker. Maybe AI.

Watch the last 15 seconds of the video.

If they never said what she read aloud, most people would've just said "That's absurd, it's fake, it's AI". Instead he starts hemming and hawing, trying to make up an explanation of why he wouldn't have said those words and ends up trying to change the meaning of what he said. Here's what Carlson said while darting his eyes at the floor and around the room.

quote:

"Ummm, I'm don't know where that comes from but I know that those words never left my lips because..., I'm not sure I fully understand what the antiChrist is, if there's just one, I, I've actually tried to understand it. Umm, I may have said some are asking that, I am not (spreads his hands wide in denial) weighing on that because I don't understand it."

Yes sir.

But I also propose that he was always a whorish actor, playing a role for his audience. He just switched because the money switched.
