Tucker Carlson Speaks Out Against Rupert Murdoch’s Efforts to Control Trump Through Veepstakes

[Geee]

Breitbart

“Rupert Murdoch has launched a full-scale lobbying effort to get Donald Trump to pick North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for vice president, sources told NOTUS,” NOTUS’s Reese Gorman wrote. “And if Trump won’t pick Burgum, these sources said, Murdoch apparently has one last request: At least don’t pick Sen. J.D. Vance. Sources told NOTUS Friday that Murdoch has been pushing for Burgum — and against Vance — for quite some time now, both over the phone and by dispatching surrogates to Trump in person. A source close to Trump told NOTUS that Murdoch has been regularly calling the former president — often multiple times a day — to urge him to choose Burgum. One Fox News communications consultant told NOTUS that Murdoch had also sent employees from the New York Post down to Mar-a-Lago to bash Vance and make the case for the North Dakota governor. And the source close to Trump told NOTUS something similar — that Murdoch had sent News Corp executives to meet with the former president to personally make the pitch for Burgum and against Vance.”

“A lot of supposedly conservative news outlets turn out to have zero interest in anything their readers and viewers care about. Instead, they’re focused on promoting pointless wars,” Carlson said. “That’s why they’re working so hard to destroy J.D. Vance before Trump can pick him. Let’s hope they don’t succeed.”

"Let me also say I've become a little....disappointed in Tucker. Going Libertarian Isolationist."

Some Skinny Old Wise Ass.

 

Let me also say THIS (Donald Trump's VP pick) is now the latest Bright Shiny Thing. For The Left  it distracts us from Grand Pa Joe and the latest Fluster Cluck in the Democratic Party. For The Right, whoever he picks will (Probably) be our candidate in 2028. He will pick Who He Picks, and probably s paying No Attention to what Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson or Breitbart News says.

PS Something so many people seem to forget, Donald Trump is Not a (doctrinaire) Conservative. Rhetoric Aside He Is a East Coast Center/right Republican.
