Tucker Carlson went full-on conspiracy theory, and his Fox News colleagues aren’t even stepping up here, but Trump believes him.
Tucker Carlson loves nothing more than to fuel conspiracy theories in the minds of Fox News viewers, and he lit one up for himself this week while claiming that the NSA is spying on him (apparently at the behest of Joe Biden) because they want to take him off the air. Never mind that Tucker puts all his crazy out there on the air, so what would the point (of spying on him) be? Regardless, his claims arrive on the tail of (and may have something to do with) Ben Smith’s New York Times report about Tucker allegedly leaking Donald Trump dirt to liberal media sources. Well, Trump must not be too sore about that because he’s buying Tucker’s NSA claim. One interesting thing to note here (and this has been, of course, noticed by CNN) is that Tucker’s Fox News colleagues have not stepped up to defend him (either on social media or on-air) on the monitoring claim.
