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.

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.

Tucker is full of himself.
He thinks people are obligated to kiss his ring.
Finish and flush the stinking stench of fox news forever!
It would be good to see some of the actual evidence. It would be good to know we are going into court with a decent chance of winning this thing.
But I’m still not watching Tucker on FOX. He can take his concerns to OANN or Newsmax. I’m sure they’ll give him a fair hearing.
On the couch?
I remember how that New York Times reporter apparently attempted to dox him at his new address after he had to move for the safety of his family. The NYT walked that back and claimed they weren’t trying to do that after social media started passing around pictures of the reporter, the names of his family members, etc.
And Powell, to her credit, sent him one of the many affidavits of fraud that she had collected. I think she has over 200 of those by now.
DONNA BRAZILE AND CHRIS WALLACE WOULD NEVER BE PRAISED FOR TRICKING DEMOCRATS THE WAY THEY TRICK REPUBLICANS...
Hey Chris Wallace - are you ready to have a town-hall for a democrat (Georgia Senate democrat seat perhaps...) where you hand picked an audience to express contempt for the DEMOCRAT candidate? Like you did with Trump?
The dishonest creepy manipulator needs to be fired for that crap... Unless Wallace is willing to treat some prominent democrat the same way. Yeah Chrissie - in a race that matters.

Too late pal. Deflate your head and then we’ll talk.
Thank you for suggesting this. Do you actually get live streaming when you do this? The only related live streaming I see when I do this is for British SkyNews. Are you able to find a live stream?

Thank you for the link, but isn't this link go to Sky News UK and not Sky News Australia?
Didn’t know there was two of them

Fred, the wife is now addicted to the “McLeod’s Daughters”
series on Amazon Prime.I have seen more Aussie sheep and horse pucky over the last week, as well as wanton Sheila’s pushing their stuff on the poor unsuspecting men of Gungellan. Its on almost continually, I watch occasionally for A FEW MINUTES just to admire the wonderful scenery.
TV News is a propaganda fest. So I watch OAN abd NewsMAx on line.
Fox News has thoroughly sh*t the bed.They must have drunk the lefty kool aid on election night.
The Frauds have a Catch 22.
It’s impossible to investigate the details of their Frauds without getting into the ‘Rat Urban Utopias’ stuff. The ‘Rat Urban Utopias won’t let anyone look at their stuff ‘cause there’s “no evidence of Fraud”.
