Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed the critical moment when he became a full-blown supporter of Donald Trump during his recent interview with sitcom legend Roseanne Barr.
“I’ve always agreed with Trump’s policies, and I’ve lost friends over it,” Carlson shared.
Tucker said it was the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence that transformed him into a staunch supporter of Trump.
“That just can’t stand,” he said.
Watch
That raid changed a lot of opinions, I believe. Folks are seeing it for what it was.

“You cannot allow the regime, the President of the United States, to use the Justice Department to knock the frontrunner out of the race,” Carlson explained.
“You can’t do that… So it’s bigger than Trump. It’s bigger than Biden. It’s a question of, do you want to live in a free country with a functioning justice system.”
Carlson speaks for many Americans, who also viewed the raid as a politically motivated action to derail Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
Tucker stated:
“I’m voting for Trump, and if they convict him, I will send him the max donations and I will lead protests.”

Tucker’s remarks came a week after a New York Times reporter added more weight to the rumors that Trump’s VP pick could pick Tucker Carlson for the 2024 presidential election.
As The Daily Fetched reported:
During an interview on the Dispatch podcast, political correspondent Maggie Haberman said Trump was planning to assemble loyalists for his administration if he retook the White House in 2024.
Podcast host Jamie Weinstein asked Haberman about the rumors that Trump’s VP pick could be Tucker.
“It’s a real thing that I am hearing as a possibility,” Haberman responded.
“The likelihood of it, I don’t know. I think there will be a pretty professionalized vetting process, honestly.”
“I know that might sound unbelievable based on what we’ve seen from Trump historically, but Trump’s current political team is the best — at least as a non-incumbent — that he’s had, and there’s just a different level of control,” she said.
