Tucker Carlson has always supported the policies of Donald Trump.
But there was one issue that pushed him over the edge.
Tucker Carlson revealed the one important reason he supports Donald Trump.
Popular conservative host Tucker Carlson revealed on Thursday the reasons why he became an “active” supporter of former President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Roseanne Barr, Carlson said it was the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 that made him decide to back Trump.
“I’ve always agreed with Trump’s policies,” Carlson said. “I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-a-Lago last summer. That just can’t stand. I’m voting for Trump and if they convict him I will send him the max donation and I will lead protests. That’s how I feel.”
“I agree with Trump on a lot but even if I disagreed with Trump on a lot I’d still be a Trump supporter because you cannot allow that,” he said. “You cannot allow the regime, the President of the United States to use the Justice Department to knock the front runner out of the race. You can’t do that.”
Carlson added that even if he didn’t agree with Trump on some issues he’d still support him because the Justice Department shouldn’t be interfering against Trump.
“So it’s bigger than Trump, it’s bigger than Biden. It’s a question of do you want to live in a free country with a functioning justice system. So I’m voting for Trump, and if they convict him, I will send him the max donations and I will lead protests. That’s how I feel,” Carlson said.
When Trump was indicted in June, Carlson called the charges the “total destruction of the American justice system” in an episode of “Tucker on Twitter.”
“The prosecution of Donald Trump is transparently political,” Carlson said. “He’s literally Joe Biden’s main political opponent — he’s polling at over 60% among Republican voters right now. So, Joe Biden is doing what no president has ever dared to do: He’s using law enforcement power to lock up his chief rival. That’s happening right now.”
Trump praised Carlson’s reaction in a video uploaded by Team Trump.
“Tucker Carlson, a very good guy, is exactly right,” Trump said. “The number one reason the totally corrupt Biden administration and the sick Washington establishment are after me is because I stand up to their failed foreign policy agenda. The one thing Washington cannot forgive is that I put America first, always put America first. I could never help it. I have to do that in order to make America great again.”
