Fox News host Tucker Carlson — who is currently rolling out his controversial three-part Fox Nation series on the January 6th insurrection — made a rare on-air break with former President Donald Trump on Monday night.
Carlson, while interviewing right-wing commentator Julie Kelly, said he finds it "appalling" that Trump had yet to donate any money to his supporters who were arrested on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.
Since leaving office, Trump has continued to raise large sums of money from supporters with claims to fight election fraud and help elect Republicans. As of July, the last federal reporting date, Trump's three major fundraising operations declared more than $100 million in cash on hand.
Tucker says he "finds it appalling" that none of the money that was sent to Trump by supporters to fund election audits or to help J6 defendants ever actually went where it was intended. He is shocked Trump kept all the money. pic.twitter.com/ngfEyn4Sny

Carlson understood he was likely to raise eyebrows with the remark as he asked Kelly:
People are going to be offended that I ask this, but I can't help myself. What about the president on whose behalf they were gathered that day. Has anybody sent them money? All these people, Brad Parscale, are getting rich by saying the last election was rigged. Which it clearly was. And they're making all this money and all these people are sending all this money down to Florida. But is any of that money going to defend these people who went down to the rally on behalf of that candidate?
Kelly, who has been a key figure in spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and Jan. 6, responded by saying:
Not that I know of and I will say no. And it's a question that I have been asking myself and I know it's a question a lot of them have been asking too.
Kelly referred to the January 6th rioters as political prisoners, and describes pro-Trump rioter Ashli Babbitt as a martyr in the interview.
Kelly stirred controversy in the past by calling D.C. Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone, who was brutally beaten in the riot, a "crisis actor." She has claimed on Fox News in the past that the FBI "instigated" the January 6th insurrection — a claim that Carlson himself has pushed and one that is central to his new series Patriot Purge.

Hopefully more than one dog will take a dump on it.
I got a dog peeing on his name...will that do?
He did in fact pay many of he organizers of his riot under the guise of "employees". A lot of the names of these "employees" never appeared on his payrolls before the riot. As usual, Fucker C is talking out of his ass as usual.

trmp part with money?
what money?
He only parts with other people's money, not his own.
I stand corrected
That is funny.
Carlson forgets that in 2016 Trump pledged 1 million dollars to a veterans group during one of the Republican debates. A couple months later the group had to shame Trump into fulfilling the donation by making it publicly known he had not come through on the pledge.
Carlson forgets that the Washington Post couldn't find any listed donations by Trump to any charity for years at a time other than by his "Trump Foundation" which was funded entirely by donations from people outside the Trump family. Trump wasnt putting any of his own money into the charity that had his name on it.
Carlson is a dummy.
he's a trust fund baby just like the orange menace was...
Why would he send money to stupid fucks that follow him blindly?
The money spigot only flows one way in Trump world.
Tucker's act is all about being perpetually shocked...
it works on his audience of 50's relics.
Tucker Carlson has money, why doesnt he send a few mil in the direction of the traitors? He owes them that much for all the material they have provided to his treasonous tv show.
true enough.
Carlson was a member of the Dan White Society..
For those that don't know:
Daniel James White (September 2, 1946 – October 21, 1985) was an American politician who assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk , on Monday, November 27, 1978, at City Hall . White was convicted of manslaughter for the deaths of Milk and Moscone. White served five years of a seven-year prison sentence. Less than two years after his release he returned to San Francisco, and later died by suicide.
maybe that will be a lesson to him ...
