Emperor Murdoch Going Bananas – President Trump Will Interview with Tucker Carlson During GOPe Debate
The Last Refuge ^ | August 18, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 08/18/2023 1:10:12 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Saving the Republic was always going to be a trilogy. In 2016 we caught the club off guard, “Club Wars” began. In 2020 the collective “Empire Strikes Back.” Now we enter 2024, all of the enemies are defined, and the “Revenge of the MAGA” begins.

Within the epic battle that 2024 represents, the multinationals are deploying every available weapon in their arsenal and the rebellion is running an insurgency campaign while withstanding the constant bombardment. While much is yet to be determined, our flag is still raised, and we stand steadfast -living our best life- while the bombs burst all around us.

altThe professional Republican apparatus is assembling in Wisconsin for the trap debate, but the rebellion has successfully out maneuvered the plot and will stand unaffected while diminishing the first losers to the status they deserve.

With commandant Bill Sammon retired, comrade Brett Baier was positioned to use the pending political indictments to pepper Trump with questions that would assist the feds. By not subjecting himself to the constructed operation, President Trump has avoided the trap.

Emperor Murdoch is furious, while Darth Ronna failed in her effort to bait team MAGA.

NEW YORK TIMES – The former president’s apparent decision to skip the first debate is a major affront both to the Republican National Committee and to Fox News, which is hosting the event.

Former President Donald J. Trump plans to upstage the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday by sitting for an online interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.

In the past 24 hours, Mr. Trump has told people close to him that he has made up his mind and will skip the debate in Milwaukee, according to two of the people briefed on the matter.

[…] The exact timing and platform of the interview with Mr. Carlson remain unclear, but if it goes ahead as currently planned, the debate-night counterprogramming would serve as an act of open hostility.

The chairwoman of the R.N.C., Ronna McDaniel, has privately urged Mr. Trump to attend the debate, even traveling to his private club in Bedminster, N.J., last month to make her pitch in person.

And Fox News has been drawn into a public battle not only with Mr. Trump but with Mr. Carlson, who is still on contract and being paid by Fox despite having his show taken off the air. Fox sent Mr. Carlson a cease-and-desist letter after he aired a series of videos on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The Trump campaign’s conversations with Mr. Carlson — and the possibility of counterprogramming — have previously been reported by multiple news organizations.

Spokesmen for the Trump campaign, the R.N.C. and Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mr. Carlson also did not respond to requests for comment. (read more)

The first question to everyone on the debase stage will be isn’t Trump an a-hole for not being here or some such variation of that theme.

I’d be surprised if Fox allows it to happen.

You do know Trump personally endorsed Ronna Romney to be RNC chairman.

Why would anyone watch these losers in the first place? If there is anyone on that stage you you would vote for, I suggest you turn over 100% of your finances to them immediately. if you are unwilling to do thatr, why in the hell would you ever vote for them.

Slightly off topic...

Jesse Watters is the guy who replaced Tucker a month ago.

Watters has not hosted his own show for this entire week!

That seems very strange to me.

His ratings were roughly 50% of Tucker's ratings.

Has Fox already dumped Watters - after one month?
