Tucker Carlson Says There's Not Enough Fraud to Change Election Results: 'We Should Be Honest'

wait wut??

https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-election-fraud-may-not-alter-outcome-1546252

Carlson, however, has suggested that while he believes suggestions of wrongdoing and fraud be investigated those which could stand up to scrutiny still might not be enough to alter the outcome.

"At this stage, the fraud that we can confirm does not seem to be enough to alter the election result. We should be honest and tell you that. Of course, that could change," he said, on his Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight.

"But changing the election results is not the whole point. The real point is that fraud took place, and that should horrify us. If you want people to believe that our system is real, that our system is worth say joining the military and dying to protect, then you've got to get to the bottom of what just happened and you've got to do it as quickly and responsibly as you can. You can't have fraud in an election because then no one will believe in elections and then things fall apart."


Does he REALLY think he's a viable candidate for 2024???

Unless Trump runs, he'll cruise through the Republican primaries in 2024 if he runs. Bookmark this.

That's what I find interesting about this. How much the messaging comes directly from the top.


Not that that's really a revelation, but it's still very interesting how clearly we can see it with this recent shift.

Um, yeah, that's because "the fraud that we can confirm" is NONE. If he was HONEST, this is what he'd say.

Everyone knows that there are always isolated incidents of either deliberate voter fraud, or mistakes that people make that can be considered fraudulent.

I am willing to bet substantial money that any "REAL" investigation in to elections fraud is going to expose a whole bunch of conservative/Republican operatives working the other side. Democrats do not need to cheat. We have the policies that more than 70% of the population supports. If Republicans did not have a coordinated, well funded, propaganda network consisting of FOX, thousands of radio stations, and internet sites that just spew out lies day in and day out, they would be a minor, regional party.

jr. Oh no! TC I think pretty quickly will have so much dirt on him and his stupid antics that he won't get very far. And as for the trump twins (trump senior and jr.), their crimes will finally catch up with them ... all they have been doing lately is mouthing off, ranting, raving, etc. on any platform anybody will give them.
