Tucker Carlson Believes the Media was Ineffective in Characterizing President Trump

Carlson said based on Trump’s strong performance during Election night in a non-white area like Miami-Dade, the narrative that he is a racist and the support he received from Hispanics, should give Republican voters hope.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the mainstream media failed in its attempt to label President Trump a racist. Carlson used Trump’s strong showing in Miami-Dade County, Florida with Hispanic voters to illustrate the media’s failings.

“Miami-Dade is 70 percent Hispanic,” said Carlson. “That’s not what you would have expected if you’ve been watching for the past six months this attempt to rationalize everything to make Trump the greatest racist in the world’s history.”

Carlson said Florida’s rapidly growing population makes the Sunshine State the “future of the country” because of the massive amount of people who relocate there. Carlson said based on Trump’s strong performance during Election night in a non-white area like Miami-Dade, the narrative that he is a racist and the support he received from Hispanics, should give Republican voters hope.

“Whether you buy that or not, you would expect that to depress the votes for Trump in Miami-Dade County, but the opposite happened,” Carlson said. “He’s doing better there with non-White voters than he did four years ago.”

“At some point we, the media, need to pause and ask ourselves serious questions about how we’re thinking through what’s going to happen and how we present it because our predictions affect outcomes, to some extent, and they also, of course, determine our credibility. People judge us based on our predictions,” Carlson said. “Something really went wrong in the way we predicted a number of these races.”

Carlson noted that Florida represents “the future of the country” because so many Americans relocate there from other states. 

“It does tell you something about where we’re going and I think if you’re a Republican or a Trump voter, it tells you something more hopeful than you expected,” Carlson said. “Why is the demonstrated reality so different from what purportedly smart people said it was going to be?”

CNN has announced it will hold a town hall event with 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie. The event will be moderated by Anderson Cooper.

The event will take place on Monday, June 12th at 8:00 PM ET from New York.

The former New Jersey governor, who entered the race on Tuesday, becomes the latest in a long line of Republican hopefuls to sit down with voters on CNN.

CNN began its town hall coverage by hosting former President Donald Trump in New Hampshire. The network was widely panned for the event, with many pointing to the event being the genesis for Chris Licht’s exit which was announced Wednesday.

The network has also hosted an event with Nikki Haley, and is scheduled to hold a town hall with former Vice President Mike Pence, who also recently entered the race for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Previous moderators for CNN have included Kaitlan Collins, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash.

No town hall events with other GOP hopefuls, including Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Asa Hutchinson, with CNN have been announced.

John Roberts Apologizes After Quip About Chris Christie’s Weight

“I made a comment that I meant to be light-hearted, but immediately realized was hurtful toward Gov. Chris Christie. I should not have said what I said.”

Fox News host John Roberts has apologized after making an on-air comment about the weight of 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie.

During America Reports Tuesday, Roberts used a metaphor to describe the growing field hoping to win the Republican nomination. He claimed there were two milkshakes, one featuring Donald Trump, and the other with everyone else.

“Now we’re gonna have Chris Christie’s straw in there,” said Roberts. “Judging by Chris Christie’s physical stature, he could drink a lot of that milkshake if he wanted to.”

Later in the program, Roberts apologized directly to Christie for the remarks.

“Before we go on, I just wanted to take a moment to address something, because I really do feel terrible about it,” Roberts admitted.

“Earlier on the show, I was making an analogy to describe the Republican voting pool, I made a comment that I meant to be light-hearted but immediately realized was hurtful toward Gov. Chris Christie. I should not have said what I said. I deeply regret it and I sincerely apologize to the governor.”

CNN CEO Chris Licht has left the network after a profile by Tim Alberta from The Atlantic called into question his decision-making and professional acumen to lead the organization.

The story, which was published last week, saw a strong reaction from both those inside CNN and outside the organization. The negative press continued into this week, with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav ultimately alerting CNN employees to Licht’s departure on Wednesday’s 9:00 AM editorial call.

“For a number of reasons it didn’t work out, and that’s on me. I take full responsibility,” Zaslav admitted during the call.

Many in the news media reacted to the story. Some with excitement, some with shock, and others with a sense that the situation was inevitable.
