Tucker Carlson Gets The Last Laugh On Fox News During Trump Rally
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson seemingly got the last laugh on his former employer after the network covered his speech at a Trump campaign rally held in the historic Madison Square Garden on Sunday night in New York City. The event featured a number of big-name speakers including retired professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and, of course, Carlson.

During the speech at the rally, Carlson made more than a few fiery, passionate statements, including his pointing out that many important figures in both our culture and the political realm, such as billionaire tech guru Elon Musk and former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, have both boldly come out in favor of the 45th president. He then pointed out that a number of seniors in high school, voting in their first presidential election, along with young college students, have grown braver and also publicly announced they would be supporting the former president.
Carlson said that American voters are realizing that there’s nothing to be ashamed of in supporting Trump for the White House and this boldness, an answer to what he calls shaming from the left, will make it difficult for the Democratic Party to convince folks after the election that Kamala legitimately pulled in 85 million votes, referring to the controversy concerning election integrity that unfolded during the 2020 presidential race.

While Election Day is still a week away, we’re already having issues with election integrity as several acts of vandalism have left hundreds of ballots damaged in Oregon and Washington.
via ABC News:
Authorities, including the FBI, were investigating Monday after early morning fires were set in ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and in nearby Vancouver, Washington, where hundreds of ballots were destroyed.
The Portland Police Bureau reported that officers and firefighters responded to a fire in one ballot drop box at about 3:30 a.m. and determined an incendiary device had been placed inside. Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott said a fire suppressant inside the drop box protected nearly all the ballots; only three were damaged, and his office planned to contact those voters to help them obtain replacement ballots. A few hours later, across the Columbia River in Vancouver, television crews captured footage of smoke pouring out of a ballot box at a transit center. Vancouver is the biggest city in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, the site of what is expected to be one of the closest U.S. House races in the country, between first-term Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican challenger Joe Kent.
“I hope the perpetrator of this reprehensible act is quickly apprehended — and local and federal law enforcement have my full support in working to keep our democratic process safe and secure,” Gluesenkamp Perez went on to explain in her statement. She then said that she has ordered a local law enforcement presence be posted at all drop boxes in Clark County until after Election Day.
“Southwest Washington cannot risk a single vote being lost to arson and political violence,” her statement also stated.
