Tucker Carlson Issues Surprise Comment on Vance – Here’s His Big Take on Trump’s VP Pick

So, the 2024 election drama is heating up faster than a jalapeño in July. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, here comes another curveball. After months of speculation, Donald Trump announced his 2024 running mate. Bucking some speculations, he picked Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Vance is a tough fighter with blue-collar roots.

Plenty of critics and pundits have been discussing the decision. Conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson is no exception.

Ever since he was freed from Fox News’ shackles, Carlson has been building his own media empire. He is free to speak his mind and even bring to light controversial issues the establishment tries to hide. He issued his own response to Trump’s running mate pick. Once again, defying expectations, he explained why this was such a brilliant move by the Republican candidate.

From The Blaze:
Instead of cataloging Vance’s qualifications and positive attributes, Carlson opted to take a different route: “Every bad person I’ve ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.”

“Every single one of those people in a line that would extend from Milwaukee to Chicago was lined up over the last week to knife JD Vance, not on personal grounds … but [because] they thought he would be harder to manipulate and slightly less enthusiastic about killing people … that he would be an impediment to their exercising power,” Carlson continued.

Tucker’s Take

Enter Tucker Carlson, the Fox News star who’s never been shy about speaking his mind. Carlson has weighed in on a lot of things, but his recent reaction to Trump’s potential VP pick has everyone buzzing. You’d expect Carlson to have a strong opinion—he usually does. But this time, his response was anything but predictable.

Carlson didn’t just nod along or offer the typical pundit praise or criticism. Nope. Instead, he did something that left even his most loyal viewers scratching their heads. Carlson expressed a surprisingly positive view on Sen. Vance. The guy who’s known for his sharp critiques and no-nonsense takes seemed pleased by Trump’s choice.

But not because of Vance’s qualifications or personal attributes. Instead, Tucker noted that all the “bad” people he knows in Washington didn’t want Trump to pick Vance. All the people who want to keep us engaged in endless wars, to prop up the deep state, seem to hate Vance. And because of that, Tucker is excited about him.

Tucker even called out Sen. Graham, accusing him of being a hypocrite. He claimed that Graham opposed Vance and lobbied against him.

Why It Matters

Carlson’s reaction is more than just an eyebrow-raiser. Why didn’t Carlson talk about Vance’s voting record, personal history, or other positive traits? Perhaps Tucker isn’t personally a fan of Vance’s. But he knows that you can learn a lot about a man by the caliber of his enemies. And, if Vance’s enemies are all the people Tucker hates, then he’s in good company.

Key Takeaways:

  • Tucker Carlson praised Trump’s VP pick, Sen. JD Vance, but in an unexpected way.
  • Carlson praised Vance because he is hated by all the “bad” guys in D.C.
  • The warmongers and “deep state” lobbied against Trump picking Vance, according to Tucker.
