The first Republican presidential debate was last night, and Tucker Carlson's interview of Donald Trump was released minutes before the debate as counterprogramming. Surprisingly, the most deranged pronouncement in either event wasn't from one of the debaters (although Vivek Ramaswamy's assertion that "the climate agenda is a hoax" was extreme), nor was it anything Trump said. The most deranged pronouncement of the night was Carlson's assertion that an attempt on Trump's life is inevitable, because "they" need him dead -- which, according to Carlson, makes Trump like Jeffrey Epstein.
Slate's Molly Olmstead has the details:
In the interview ... former President Donald Trump was boasting about his poll numbers when Tucker Carlson suddenly cut him off.
“Can I ask you—that gets back to my original question,” he said. “If the protests didn’t work, and you got elected anyway; the impeachment didn’t work, twice; indictment is not working ... If you chart it out, it’s an escalation, is what I’m saying. So what’s next, after trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life? That’s not working. Don’t they have to kill you now?”
