Tucker Carlson told the Republican National Convention’s (RNC) audience Thursday night about two dramatic phone calls he and his wife had with former President Donald Trump, with one occurring hours after Saturday’s failed assassination attempt.
Carlson made his way onto the center stage of the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, showing his support for Trump as the GOP presidential nominee.
“But being a leader is very different. It’s not a title. It’s organic. You can’t name someone a leader. A leader is the bravest man. That’s who the leader is. That is true in all human organizations. This is a law of nature. And in that moment, Donald Trump months before the presidential election became the leader of this nation,” Carlson said.
“I reached out to Trump within hours of it, that night, and what he said to me that a night having just within shot in the face, he said not a single word about himself. He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd which didn’t run,” Carlson said.
Carlson continued to call out his first two thoughts after speaking with Trump following the failed assassination attempt on Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally. The Daily Caller News Foundation and Daily Caller co-founder highlighted how Trump “gave” the crowd “heart” to not run, as he notably shook his fist in the air and mouthed fight before Secret Service agents rushed him into his motorcade.

Carlson noted how Trump turned down “the most obvious opportunity in politics to enflame the nation after being shot.”
The former Fox News host then recounted another call his wife had with the former president in 2018 as Antifa members had come to protest outside Carlson’s house.
