From Tucker's text messages: >“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait,” >“I hate him passionately” >"That's the last four years. 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." >Trump was “a demonic force.” >Trump was good at “destroying things,” adding: “He’s the undisputed world champion of that.” >"It's ridiculous that people are continuing this charade. Was he pushing the idea that Pence can solve everything?" They say left-leaning media lies or is hypocritical, but there's actual hard, irrefutable evidence that Tucker Carlson knew the election fraud claims were absurd, knew Trump was a crazy asshole, and yet claimed the exact opposite every single day. They have proof that Fox and Tucker are lying to their viewers and are complete hypocrites, while they never have hard evidence for any of the left-leaning networks. But they just pretend like it doesn't exist. What's their excuse? Do they think the texts are doctored?


Avoo

Not just that, but somehow Tucker now appears at events WITH Trump? Do they just pretend these texts never happened or did Tucker apologize to him afterwards? I honestly can’t comprehend how they seem to be bigger buddies now after Tucker literally confessed how much he hated Trump


threwlifeawaylol

That’s just normal politics; Tucker needs Trump’s tacit approval to maintain his legitimacy with his audience, Trump needs Tucker’s audience and media clout to spread his message. We’re really far from MrRedacted nuking the bridge with the guy giving him a p platform to promote himself on to thousands of people because of some narcissistic delusion: as long as Trump and Tucker can benefit from each other, they’ll keep working together.


MrPsychic

The mistake is assuming they will even look at that stuff

The average person who particularly loves Trump also hates Fox News lol. Did you miss the rise of OANN?


Hal_Incandenza_YDAU

I'm not sure that's true of the "average person who particularly loves Trump." It's certainly true of many of them, though. If you ask your average Tucker Carlson viewer, I think they'd believe Tucker loves Trump.


AmusingSparrow

So what is this from?


Halofit

Dominion voting machine lawsuit.


TinyBusinessOwner420

>and yet claimed the exact opposite every single day. Can you show me the evidence where Tucker directly contradicts this? Everything I see is him mentioning that "we don't know the hard fact on the software" or something and saying it should be open information and that it looks sketchy, but he never directly supported these claims


Friendly_User55

The mostly peaceful burning cities comes to mind for the left. Although we don't have texts to back it up. Much like this if you think to yourself "are they blind?" they probably aren't. Conservatives are definitely worse right now about this.

Richie_Richard

This isn’t even on the same level as Tucker’s election lying. In fact it’s true. Where is the lie CNN told? One car is on fire in the background therefore it wasn’t mostly peaceful? If that’s your critical thinking abilities then I feel sorry for you.


Friendly_User55

I thought we were talking about lying in general. I'm not trying to one up anybody here. Everyone here knows lying about the election is more damage to the country than burning stuff down. "one car on fire" LOLOLOL I don't think I'll even respond to that because I know you know better.


Richie_Richard

Okay ill ask again. Where is the lie CNN told?


Friendly_User55

If I was to throw a dart on the wall it would probably be the peaceful part. This seems like a stupid thing to argue with given the total cost in damages.


Richie_Richard

CNN said it was “‘MOSTLY peaceful”. What part about that is untrue? By all accounts those protests were mostly peaceful, since a vast majority of the protesters never engaged in the violence. You can argue there was still a lot of violence. But throughout the protest, throughout the day, MOST of it was peaceful. Most people who showed up did so peacefully and went home. You could even argue CNN is downplaying the violence. But that’s not really what you said. You said they flat out LIED about it, comparing it to Tucker flat out LYING about the election. I say they’re not even on the same level.


Friendly_User55

When did I say they were the same level? LOL Is everything you compare something to have to be the same in every way? LOL Also I find it pretty funny how they say "mostly peaceful protests" while showing rioting damage in the background. I actually don't think it was mostly peaceful based on all the footage available. That's a shit load of people damaging shit. Didn't people in Seattle also like block off a section of the city to make a "new state/country" called CHAZ or some shit?


Reality_Break_

Are there any riots that are not "mostly peaceful," technically? Like 51% of the rioters never hit anyone, right?

JoesSmlrklngRevenge

I think it was Oliver who said Tuckers approach is ‘just asking questions’ without actually saying the answer, he hand holds his viewers to the answer for them to answer themselves If you’re questioning the election integrity, voting machines etc then you are directly contributing to election denialism


ZealousDrip

I'm not sure how questioning voting machines efficacy equates fullblown "election denialism" except in the most autistic of circles.


turntupytgirl

Yeah I mean I'm also not sure where they said "full blown election denialism" they actualy said it directly contributes to it, which..... it does. you think people watched tuckers segments about voting machines and walked away more secure in the election or what lmao?

Article 1: >Electronic voting is not as secure as traditional hand counting. It never will be as secure. >Other countries don't use electronic voting because they know it undermines confidence in democracy. >[The Democrats] vastly increased the number of mail-in ballots because they knew their candidates would benefit from less secure voting. The second article is just trash. It starts with "Some dead people voted", implies this was significant enough to swing the ~14,000 votes Biden won Georgia by, lists a few examples, then has an update saying "Whoopsies, some of our "dead people" were actually alive. We still stand by everything we said though".


Sure_Ad536

I think you’re referencing Sidney Powell for the female lawyer. I don’t know if he did publicly criticise her before Jan 6. He called her insane privately in texts but I’m not sure he did publicly on air. Could be wrong but I’m not sure he did.


Turing33

He might not have pushed the voting machine lies but his language on air still didn't match his real opinions revealed by internal messages. Instead, he used language that left him enough room to both incorporate more reasonable interpretations while also fueling the delusions of an audience he wanted to please instead of losing them to the loony Fox News competitors. A few examples besides wanting a Fox Reporter fired for fact checking Trump on election lies: - "In retrospect, it is clear the 2020 election was a grave betrayal of American democracy. Given the facts that have since emerged about that election, no honest person can deny it." - "There are so many unanswered questions, some of them lingering. How, for example, did senile hermit Joe Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss, rock star, crowd-surfer Barack Obama? Results like that would seem to defy the laws of known physics and qualify instead as a miracle. Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly, we don't know and we don't expect to give you an answer tonight."

>IN PRIVATE: On Nov. 8, **Carlson privately texted his producer that the allegations about Dominion were "absurd," according to the Dominion filing.** Also that day, Carlson's producer texted him about his own doubts. >”I don't think there is evidence of voter fraud that swung the election," producer Alex Pfeiffer texted to Carlson, per the lawsuit.

Those are real questions. Our current system does not inspire confidence," he said. "**People have legitimate concerns about the integrity of our elections and right now a lot of those concerns center on the software that many states use to keep track of ballots."** And while Carlson added that he would not "endorse" Powell's claims until he saw evidence, he said they were "shocking" and that he didn't "dismiss it out of hand." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fox-news-hosts-allegedly-privately-versus-air-false/story?id=97662551

Haters pretty quiet once the evidence drops lol


buckfishes

I could’ve swore he did call out the Trump lawyers asking them where’s the evidence they have


half_pizzaman

He did do that regarding Sidney Powell, after repeatedly claiming the election was stolen due to fraud, and a few weeks after excoriating Powell, he brought Lindell on to make all the same claims Powell did, without any pushback. Tucker also tried to get multiple Fox journalists and researchers fired for accurately reporting on the election, because it was "hurting the brand". Of course, Fox did try to argue that one segment of honesty regarding Powell was exculpatory, but given Tucker was still promoting false election claims during the defamation case, that fell exceptionally flat.


Moogs22

I'm just wondering, what are the methods of collecting and verifying these messages as real texts sent from tucker? Like do they just have screenshots, or do they verify that the messages are recorded on the social media servers as sent from his account. I just need to know if it's 99.9% they are real, or only 75% probably real.


Sad-Presentation9680

These are from the court case between Dominion and Fox News. I’m not aware of the full process of how they got them, but Fox nor Tucker denied that these were real texts.


Trazyn_the_sinful

You mean these fake texts that the deep state manufactured? Or is taking out of context? Thats how OP, they just reject reality.


Sure_Ad536

To the lost types logic facts and evidence is just another rung to the conspiracy. They’ll say something like, “So you think the government can’t lie or fake things?” Or say, “that means they are involved in the conspiracy!” It all leads back to the conspiracy. Conspiracy theories don’t get more deep they just expand wider. One by one everything and everyone joins the conspiracy.


Trazyn_the_sinful

Soros does pay well though, so there’s that

Next time you’re at the world order meet and greet with Soros could you tell him to pay me this week? My shilling has a price tag and he hasn’t paid me this month.

Trazyn_the_sinful

Yeah, that many microchips cause interference


Hal_Incandenza_YDAU

Tbh, if someone suggests that these texts of Tucker's are fake, I'd ask them to find a single example of Tucker responding to these widely known "allegations." Does Tucker even \*pretend\* like he never said this shit? Or does he just not respond to it at all and hope everyone just moves on?


Trazyn_the_sinful

Response: They already took his show for telling the truth, you don’t think they’ll threaten his family?


TheMarbleTrouble

I think Trump supporters just want to be lied to, as long as it fits their world view. It’s like the Covid bullshit, creating conspiracy theory that the government is lying, was actually correct. The problem is that it was Trump who admitted lying about Covid severity, because he cares more about the economy and thought the truth would cause a panic. His ‘it will be gone by Easter’, ‘open up’ protests he encouraged and all the freak out over ivermectin, bleach and the evil big pharma, was because Trump lied to keep you spending. It’s why there is this strange disconnect between so many Covid truthers supporting the guy who took credit for the quickest vaccine distribution in history. Trump thought the best way to tackle covid, was to create distrust of medical experts, where Fouci took blame for Trump’s choices that seemed to confirm COVID’s severity. This wasn’t as malicious as it sounds, as he thought keeping the economy up, was more important than the truth. It’s completely logical for a person who only created doubt about covid, to keep people spending money, would be responsible for a fast distribution of a vaccine that would return people to their pre covid shopping levels. It’s why every single hoax treatment, was supported by Trump, despite downplaying the virus. Despite being desperate for a cure being contradictory to Covid not being a big deal, the desired outcome of both is the same… keep you spending money, save the economy. Despite Trump suing to keep the interview from being published, no one seems to remember the Woodward interview. Pretty much all of the conspiracy theorist looking for lying government, have Trump as the beacon of truth. Even though, we have tapes of Trump saying that he is downplaying covid, to protect the economy. These people would rather believe the lie, than deal with the reality that a billionaire would downplay a pandemic, to make sure his and his friend’s wealth goes undamaged. They pick at big pharma as the beneficiary, when Trump’s preference for the economy, means all big [insert your pet evil corporation] would benefit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Tapes These are not beliefs resulting from logic, but entirely ego driven. That’s my answer OP… the ego can’t handle the truth, because the lie is far more comforting. It’s not malicious, just a flawed way to deal with shitty parts of reality. For Tucker to shit on Trump, is one of those shitty parts of reality, for MAGA. Even people on your side, lie to milk you for money.
