TUCKER PLAYS THE TRUMP CARD!
Privately confesses to hating ex-prez while sucking up to his supporters
TWO-FACED Tucker Carlson has long sung the praises of Donald Trump on air — but behind the scenes, the FOX News star not only admits to hating the former president “passionately” but also brands his administration a “disaster” for the country! Insiders say Carlson publicly disguised his contempt to avoid chasing away the network’s Trump-loving viewers, but he couldn’t dodge the bullet when questioned under oath in Dominion Voting Systems’ explosive $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against his employers. Dominion claims FOX hosts deliberately pushed a groundless theory their voting machines changed pro-Trump votes to ballots for his rival Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. In newly unsealed court records relating to the case, Tucker, 53, declares in a J Jan. 4, 2021, tex text to FOX
New News producer
Alex Pfeiffer,
“I hate Trump passionately.” He also tells his colleague, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore
Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.” In another shocking text to a staffer regarding Trump, blowhard Tucker confesses, “I can’t handle much more of this. We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”
Tucker trashes Trump even further in a text to a FOX News producer as rioters stormed the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, branding the then-president “demonic” and a “destroyer” — even though critics say he’s now trying to downplay the right wing’s role in the attempted coup.
And despite Tucker’s
true feelings about the former prez, the hypocrite often blasted mainstream journalists for also hating Trump. In an October
2020 tweet, Tucker rages: “Reporters hate Trump with an all-consuming mania. They hate him so intensely that at times it’s been amusing to watch.”
Dominion’s lawsuit was launched after FOX News journalists, including Tucker, gave credence to wild conspiracy theories claiming its machines rigged the election — even though the hosts largely didn’t believe it themselves!
In a Nov. 20, 2020, email, producer Pfeiffer notes “one funny thing” about the fraud claims. “Dominion was used in Ohio and Florida,” he writes. “Trump won them. Did they forget to rig those or all part of the plan?” Backlash against Tucker and FOX News has been fast and furious.
“If true, Carlson can kiss his career goodbye,” says one internet poster.
Another adds: “FOX is the definition of fake news. They know the truth but they lie anyway.”
But network reps claim the depositions are being “cherry-picked” and taken out of context and Dominion is trying to “smear” FOX for covering the news!
