Tucker Carlson Addresses Sidney Powell Again, Offers a Path Forward
Red State ^ | 11/20/2020 | Bonchie

Posted on 11/20/2020 8:26:54 PM PST by SeekAndFind

It’s a night full of Tucker Carlson news mentions here at RedState, but that’s not surprising given his current standing within the conservative media-sphere. The highest rated cable news host found himself on the opposite end of a lot of the right-wing chatter last night when he challenged Sidney Powell to come on his show and provide evidence for her extensive claims of voter fraud.

In a much talked about press conference yesterday, Powell laid out claims of millions of votes being switched through abuse of voting software. What she didn’t provide was much of any actual evidence, something Trump supporters are wanting to see produced as a path forward becomes more and more narrow.

(see Tucker Carlson Discounts Sidney Powell’s Election Claims, She Responds on Fox News)

Here was Carlson’s original commentary.

🚨 #Tucker on Sidney Powell: "We invited Sidney Powell on this show. we would've given her the whole hour…But she never sent us any evidence despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her." (2/2) pic.twitter.com/MkiSjtb63L

There are two ways to look at this. Those that are leaning towards believing her claims have said that she has no obligation to share anything until things finish in court. Others have pointed out that there’s downside to backing her narrative with something tangible and that her filings are not matching her rhetoric.

Here’s the problem though. After states certify their election results, which happened in the last day in several key states, there is essentially no going back on that. A judge is not going to overturn a certified election result, at least not without bombshell evidence reaching levels we’ve never seen before. Powell claims to have had this data since last week, yet the filings have been slow going. That hasn’t produced confidence in her odds.

Now, Powell is saying it’ll all be adjudicated in the next two weeks and that she’s confident she’ll be victorious presenting her case. Carlson responded and offered a bit of an olive branch.

#Tucker doubles down on his stance about Sidney Powell's voting machine claims. Citing other Trump lawyers, he says they haven't seen her "evidence either, no testimony from employees inside the software companies, no damning internal documents, no copies of the software itself." pic.twitter.com/35LSF26nwe

Some on the right got angry at Carlson for criticizing Powell’s dismissiveness last night, but I think he’s taking the right path. There is still time for Powell to prove her case and come out looking like a hero, though things look especially bleak now with so many states certifying results. Regardless, if she does prove her case, Carlson is not going to be against her, nor will anyone here at RedState or a myriad of other conservative leaning sites. But that case has to be proven at some point. Press conferences and fiery rhetoric only take us so far.

Patience is the right move here. Powell has made some very strong assertions, but it is not going to hurt anyone to let her see this through. Those screaming about decorum and the need to concede are the same people who spent four years calling Trump a Russian agent. I could not care less what their thoughts are on this matter. Meanwhile, in the next two weeks, if Powell can’t prove her case, then the electors will vote and this election will be over. The fight for the country will soldier on either way.

Sounds like we are all on the same page, regarding FixIt News.

Same here....20 ++ year viewer. I remember tuning in, in the wee hours, and watching Britt Hume and a blonde lady...Paula Zahn??? covering Princess Diana’s death, in what....1997?

Had FoxNews on, daily, since then. In fact, their logo was ‘burned’ in, on one of our older tv’s, since we kept it on that channel most of the day, every day.

Not anymore. Not since Election Day 2020. That’s the day Fraud News died, imo.

have an uncle who was not CIA till he was CIA. the only reason why we know he was CIA is that my dad worked for lockheed in the 1970s. at one point my dad joked about his cousin who claimed he worked for the CIA whom no one in the family believed. five days later was called into personnel where two FBI agents told my dad to shut the fuck up he might get his cousin killed if continued. Years later My uncle explained that he had applied to the CIA but never became an agent until he started an import business and was going over seas to communist countries. suddenly over night the CIA was debriefing him when ever he returned to the states. if tucker applied and was not excepted and later they thought he would be useful they will use him.

Tucker is lying. Sidney Powell said that she sent Tucker evidence including an affedavit and another item, and he didn’t even acknowledge them.

Tucker “Friends with Hunter” Carlson.

I heard Tucker not long ago on TV saying that Hunter Biden was a friend of his. I don’t think he elaborated further than that. But I was very surprised when he said that.

Still not sure who Sidney Powell is? Don’t think she has the goods on these election stealing scum? The first few paragraphs will answer both concerns but I urge you to read it all. This is a truly remarkable woman and we and America are lucky to have her on the right side.

Yeppers. The CIA goes to you. Yes, it may help if you’ve expressed interest at some point.. but it’s not like applying for a normal job. I’m sure some get hired in a normal way, but not most. That’s just my speculation.

"...turned-off November 3 / blocked FNC and FBC to prevent accidental tuning / Newsmax and OANN from here out..."


Were you peering through my living room window? :-)

Those are precisely the steps I took as well. I don’t even wish a momentary landing on their channel.
Unfollowed all of them on social media plus blocked them, including Tucker, Sean, Laura, Greg, and Jesse.

Entirely devoted to Newsmax and OANN like you.
Those five people need to experience our anger as well. They can "jump ship" whenever they wish.

How very white of him

As if she needs a path forward

Tucker ain’t a lawyer. And he sure as heck ain’t worth watching

Sidney Powell’s path forward is to ignore Tucker Carlson.

Tucker makes a good show of it when he rants about the rest of the Media... but he’s just as bad as they are.

Presented with over an HOUR of Rudy laying out one instance of fraud after another... Tucker, along with the rest of them, waves a hand like Obi Wan, with the force of media, declaring, “these are not the frauds we’re looking for”...

And that’s right... two points:

First, that the media don’t care about those frauds... doesn’t make them not frauds...

Second, the reason they DO care so much about the other frauds that Sidney is addressing... is that in the issue of the digital fraud... their survival hangs in the balance... and they know it.

Over 20 years of daily Foxnews. Turned them off on Nov 3 and never returned. Blocked both Foxnews and Foxbusiness from my direct tv to prevent accidentally tuning in either station.

NewsMax and OANN from here out for me.

How did you last this long?   I stopped watching Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel the day after the Me-again Kelly ambush on Donald Trump in the first Presidential Debate on Aug. 6, 2015.   Fox News had been making commercials suggestion something was about to happen for several days before the event.   She could not have gotten away with the attack on Donald Trump in the debate unless the Fox upper management had signed off on it.   And now people are finally realizing they are just a Wolf in Fox clothing.
