Tucker Carlson Claims He's Going To Leave 'Fallen Man' Hunter Biden Alone Now
This change in Carlson’s rhetoric comes after the conservative pundit claimed on Wednesday that Fox News had acquired a number of “damning” documents about Joe Biden’s son from a source, only to have the material allegedly disappear when it was shipped cross-country .
UPS announced one day later that the flash drive containing the documents had come out of its packaging, was located by a staffer and eventually turned over to a superior, who arranged for it to be sent to Fox. Carlson was full of questions regarding this explanation and continued to hint at a conspiracy.
He contended that “someone, for some reason, opened our package and removed a flash drive containing documents that were damaging to the Biden family.”
“We’d love to know who would do that and why,” said Carlson. “It would be helpful to see the envelope itself. But UPS says we can’t see it because they threw it away. So here we are. We got our flash drive back, and that’s great. What we’d really like are some answers.”
Following this statement, the Fox host switched gears and began talking about the substance of the documents themselves, saying that the network was still “assessing” them but that much of the material would not be revealed.
“There are a lot of documents about Hunter Biden’s personal life that we haven’t brought you and that we’re not going to bring you, and we should tell you why,” Carlson said. “One is the obvious answer: He’s not running for president. Hunter Biden is a fallen man at this point. I should also say that I knew Hunter Biden fairly well. We lived near each other in Washington for quite some time. I knew his wife, who’s an absolutely outstanding person, a good person.”
Carlson continued with this line of reasoning, insisting that he was taking the high road and “never thought Hunter Biden was a bad person” ― despite having devoted Tuesday night to an interview with Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s who offered up unverified claims that Joe Biden had been involved in his son’s Chinese business dealings.
“I thought he had demons, though in the time I knew him, he kept them mostly under control,” Carlson said of Hunter Biden. “At some point, he lost control of those demons, and the world knows that now. He’s now humiliated and alone. It’s probably too strong to say we feel sorry for Hunter Biden. But the point is that pounding on a man and piling on him when he’s already down is something that we don’t want to be involved in.”
President Donald Trump and other right-wing politicians and pundits have repeatedly accused Joe Biden of receiving money from his son’s overseas business dealings, including an alleged $3.5 million from Russia . There has been no evidence to substantiate these claims.
On the same day as Carlson’s broadcast, NBC News reported that the supposed author of an intelligence document purportedly highlighting the younger Biden’s illicit business dealings was a false persona. That document, which NBC said appeared to come from a fake intelligence firm, “helped lay the groundwork among right-wing media for what would become a failed October surprise: a viral pile-on of conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.”
So no damning documents after all????????????
hopefully rupert strokes out when he writes that next defamation settlement check.
You never fail to make me LOL! Such a wicked/morbid good sense of humor.
ty, tyvm ...
You know it makes me crazy when you talk like Elvis...
hunka hunka
If they are the 'documents' that I think they are, he just knows he would be laughed out of town.
Tucker Carlson got busted for being Putin's Patsey...
There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for that. As soon as Trump is no longer under audit he will explain.
That Borat movie 'bombshell' - where Ghouliani says something like 'he was framed' regarding the Joe/Hunter Biden nonsense when this was filmed four months ago.
Even Putin is saying this whole Hunter/Joe Biden nonsense, is nonsense.
Russian leader Putin rejects Trump’s claims about Hunter Biden
So... In other words he's got nothing.
LOL! In other words . . . yes!
He never did.
"But the point is that pounding on a man and piling on him when he’s already down is something that we don’t want to be involved in.”
Since when?
No shit!!
Here's something off topic:
Lil Jon Responds With Just 4 Words When Asked To Endorse Donald Trump
"HOW ABOUT FUCKKKK NOOOOOO"
I saw that. It made me LOL.
Rudy looked in his pants and couldn't find the ''documents'' leaving Trump and Trucker with no balls no play with.
Ghouliani has set himself up for endless FANTASTIC memes.
As far as Tucker. His tie ( now a long one-ditching the bow tie ) is to tight causing extreme displeasure in his lower extremities.
