Tucker for president? Someone yelled ‘Run for president!’ at Tucker Carlson
In the middle of his speech in Alabama on Thursday night, someone in the audience yelled “Run for president!” at recently fired former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“I’m a sincere lover of the country and I want it to get better,” Carlson said. “How do you, all of us, in our small, incremental ways, make it better?”
“Run for president!” a man shouted.
The crowd applauded.
“Run for president?” Carlson said. “I think if you run for president, they will assassinate your character.”
Carlson spoke to a sold-out crowd of 1,189 on Thursday night for the annual fundraiser for Rainbow Omega at the Oxford Performing Arts Center.
Earlier in the day, he visited the Rainbow Omega campus, a residential facility in Eastaboga that houses up to 88 adults with developmental disabilities. It has a garden center, blueberry fields and a medical facility for developmentally disabled.
Carlson spoke for more than an hour Thursday night to help raise a large part of Rainbow Omega’s more than $8 million annual budget.
