“I made it clear I did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which I told the President it was BULLSH*T.”

“Maybe our supporters have the right idea. Mike Pence deserves it.”
"Note also how Carlson gives his audience permission. It is the other side’s fault for 'picking at the wound, America’s wound' of racial divisions. He adds that government leaders 'are working hard to divide us into warring camps.'"
