Tucker Carlson on Sunday hinted at a conspiracy theory when he suggested Democrats will try to steal the 2024 election for Vice President Kamala Harris, but added that they will have a “hard time” because people won’t believe there was a “groundswell of popular support” for the Democratic nominee.
Carlson spoke at the rally in NYC’s Madison Square Garden, along with others such as Hulk Hogan, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson, former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, and others in support of former President Donald Trump. Thousands of Trump supporters gathered in the sports arena in the final two weeks before election day.
During the 2020 election, Carlson backed some of Trump’s false claims of election fraud. During Sunday’s rally, he ramped up those allegations but said the public would not fall for it.
The conservative firebrand not only predicted that Democrats will try to steal the election but also use a mock-woke description of Harris as a “Samoan, Malaysian” with a “low IQ.” Harris is the first woman of Black and South Asian heritage to be a major party’s presidential nominee.
Carlson said that no “fair” system would have allowed someone like Harris to be where she is today, and said the same about Liz Cheney. Then he floated the idea the election will either be stolen, or there will be an attempt to rig it, arguing that it won’t fool people.
“t’s going to be pretty hard to look at us and say, you know what? Kamala Harris, she just she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive as the first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ, former California prosecutor ever to be elected president, it was just a groundswell of popular support, nd anyone who thinks otherwise is just a freak or a criminal,” Carlson mocked. “At this stage of the game, after nine years of listening to their lies and finding every single one of them totally false.”
He invoked MSNBC host Joe Scarborough as an example of those would attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of voters. And credited Trump for making it possible to call “b.s.” on it.
“It’s very hard for me to believe the rest of us are going to say, you know what, Joe Scarborough, you’re right. You’re right. She won fair and square because she’s just so impressive,” he said. “I don’t think so. And to me, that is liberation.”
Here are the full remarks from that portion of Carlson’s speech.
No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful. No fair system would make Larry Fink rich. No fair system would elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination. She’s never been accused of doing anything useful. She has precisely no achievements.
She’s a nominee without getting a single vote. She is a metaphor for the system they created to make themselves rich and powerful. And then they have the gall to lecture you that people can actually change a flat tire and repair a power grid, who have useful jobs, who pay your taxes and work 40 hours a week, lecture you that you are somehow immoral.
And Donald Trump has empowered the rest of us through mostly just sticking around in the face of their hate and abuse and persecution. He has given the rest of us the right to call B.S. on the charade. No, you are not better than us. No, you are not smarter than us. No, you do not deserve what you have. You probably stole it. No. You’re not going to bully me into silence any more.
And I can promise you at this point, nine days out, when Robert F Kennedy Jr and Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard and pretty much every high school senior and college sorority girl in the country has come out, finally, saying, yeah, I am for Donald Trump, actually. When the entire country has realized there is nothing embarrassing about this. What’s embarrassing is to take a perfectly great country and destroy it as they have. I’m not ashamed. You should be at that moment.
It’s going to be pretty tough for them ten days from now to look in the eye to America with a straight face. It’s going to be pretty hard to look at us and say, you know what? Kamala Harris, she’s just she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive as the first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ, former California prosecutor ever to be elected president, it was just a groundswell of popular support. And anyone who thinks otherwise is just a freak or a criminal.
At this stage of the game, after nine years of listening to their lies and finding every single one of them totally false. No, it’s not safe and effective. And no, she’s not impressive.
It’s very hard for me to believe the rest of us are going to say, you know what, Joe Scarborough, you’re right. You’re right. She won fair and square because she’s just so impressive. I don’t think so. And to me, that is liberation.
