Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed the moment when he became an āactiveā supporter of former President Donald Trump.
During an interview with Roseanne Barr on Thursday, Carlson shared that he ābecame an active Trump supporterā when the FBI raided the former presidentās Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. Carlson revealed that prior to being a Trump supporter he had āalways agreedā with Trumpās policies, though he had never really āactivelyā supported a candidate.
āI became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-a-Lago last summer, the summer of 2022,ā Carlson revealed. āThat canāt stand.ā
āI agree with Trump on a lot,ā Carlson continued. āBut, even if I disagreed with Trump on a lot, Iād still be a Trump supporter because you can not allow that. You can not allow the regime, the president of the United States to use the Justice Department to knock the frontrunner out of the race.ā
During the raid of Mar-a-Lago, the FBIdiscovered 20 boxes of binders, a handwritten note, an executive grant of clemency for Roger Stone, information about Franceās president, and binders full of photographs.
Additionally, the FBI retrieved 11 sets of classified documents after obtaining a search warrant when Trump failed to hand over 15 boxes of documents, per a request from the National Archives and Records Administration.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that all the documents had been ādeclassifiedā and that the FBI ādidnāt need to āseizeā anything.ā
Carlson continued to point out that this was ābigger than Trumpā or President Joe Biden.
āItās a question of, āDo you want to live in a free country with a functioning justice system?'ā Carlson said. āSo, Iām voting for Trump. And, if they convict him I will send him the max donations and I will lead protests. Thatās how I feel.ā
In January, classified documents from when Biden had served as vice president under former President Barack Obama, were discovered at a think tank in Washington, D.C.
Several other documents from his time as vice president and senator were discovered at his Wilmington, Delaware home. Bidenās residence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was also searched by the FBI.
āAnd, by the way, if I thought that he had committed some real crime, I wouldnāt feel that way. But, he didnāt,ā Carlson added about Trump. āHe and Biden are both found with classified documents at home, along with every other former high-level federal official in history, but only Trump is indicted? Like, tell me how that works.ā
