Tucker Carlson praised former President Donald Trump’s selection of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate on Monday, saying Americans should be heartened by the fact that Washington residents oppose the Ohio senator so strongly.
“Anyone who’s paying close attention should be excited. I’m not going to defend J.D. Vance if I don’t know much about him.” “I’ll tell you what I just saw, and that is that every bad person I’ve ever met in Washington was against J.D. Vance,” the former Fox News anchor said at the Heritage Foundation’s policy festival, broadcast live from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“… I don’t believe that my side is always right. I know for a fact that I’ve been wrong many times. And I’m willing to right my wrongs and be honest.” Carlson, who launched the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) and expanded Fox News’ audience after moving to X (formerly Twitter), continued, “So I don’t think that God is always on my side. Sometimes I’m not on God’s side, but I certainly know who the other side represents.”

Carlson specifically pointed to the agents of chaos in the nation’s capital who seem to be in politics only to reap financial gain from killing others in a pointless war.
“I know who they are, their smell is so strong, I can smell it when he walks into a room, and all the people in the line that stretches from Milwaukee to Chicago were in line last week to knife J.D. Vance,” he said.
Not for personal reasons. I mean, he’s a really good guy. He’s one of the few happily married senators. But they thought he would be less manipulative, less intent on killing people. That’s it. He would be an obstacle to their ability to exercise power.
“And they went after him in a way that I’ve never seen before. I think this happens every day in Washington. I’m far away so I’m not in a vantage point on that, but I’m grateful to be in that position.”
“And I was reminded again that this process is so ugly that ordinary people don’t want to participate,” he said, “but ordinary people have to bite the bullet and participate anyway, because the consequences are very, very serious.”
Trump ultimately chose Vance, 39, after considering Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R).
As Breitbart News reported, the urgency of the choice is Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump underscored the influence of Vance, the vice presidential nominee who will serve as an Ohio senator in 2023 and is widely seen as a continuation of the America First movement that began with Trump’s 2016 election.
