Tucker Carlson’s getting weirder. Hard to believe it, we know. From promoting shamed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ return to interviewing indictment riddled Donald Trump last year, he’s not shying away from controversy. What is Carlson’s end game and how much power does he have, not just through media ventures but in US politics too? Nikki McCann Ramirez is a politics reporter for Rolling Stone magazine and has watched more Carlson content than most could bear. She joins Jacob Jarvis in The Bunker.
• “He’s always been a bit of a weirdo.” – Nikki McCann Ramirez
•” “That interview with Alex Jones was awful to watch.” – Nikki McCann Ramirez
• “It’s entirely Tucker centric at this point...his audience takes his word as gospel.” – Nikki McCann Ramirez
