Conservative commentator Scott Jennings calls out Tucker Carlson for being dishonest about calling President Donald Trump the Antichrist. <\/p>\n
SCOTT JENNINGS: Tucker Carlson has turned against President Trump in the most personal way that you possibly can. He is mad at Trump over the war in Iran, he says, and on his show, if you’ve heard it, he has at times argued or at least questioned whether Donald Trump is the Antichrist. He has also said in this interview that he believes Donald Trump is a slave or a hostage to Netanyahu or Israel or the Jews or what have you. Seems to me it has to be one or the other. Are you a supernatural evil being or are you some weak hostage or slave to other people? I don’t think you could be both. I want you to listen to this exchange with Lulu. Here’s the question. She calls Tucker out about this idea of wondering aloud about Trump being the Antichrist. Here, Tucker, deny it. Cut number eight. LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, NEW YORK TIMES: You’ve been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. TUCKER CARLSON: I have not said that. GARCIA-NAVARRO: On your show the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing in ceremony as president. CARLSON: Correct. GARCIA-NAVARRO: You said, and I’m quoting, maybe he didn’t put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what’s inside that book. And then on a recent show, you went further, saying here’s a leader who’s mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? CARLSON: I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist?<\/a><\/i> JENNINGS: Okay. You heard Tucker deny it when presented with direct evidence by Lulu Garcia. He denied it in the room. And if you watch the video, by the way, he looks her dead in the eye and denies it. Well, let’s see what happens next. Here is evidence that Lulu brought up and read to Tucker in its actual audio and video form. Cut number nine. CARLSON: Here’s a leader who’s mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows?… I don’t know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips because I’m not sure I fully understand what the Antichrist is. If there’s just one, I actually tried to understand it. I may have said, some are asking that I’m not weighing in on that because I don’t understand it.<\/i> JENNINGS: So what you heard there was direct evidence from Tucker’s show that yes, he was wondering aloud about whether Donald Trump is the Antichrist. And then you heard him continue to deny it to Lulu, who did, by the way, a masterful job leading him into this boxed Canyon there. But what’s amazing is that he has raised this and they have profited off of it. They have promoted it. They have marketed it. And then when confronted with it, immediately backs away with it. You heard the evidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
