Tucker Carlson Jumps the Shark – Attacks Rev. Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse with Ridiculous Smears and Lies
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 4/9/2026 | Sundance

Posted on 04/11/2026 5:24:27 AM PDT by ma_che62

Apparently, Tucker Carlson thought it would be a good idea to use his platform to attack Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse and the faith-based community. Tucker Carlson made a big mistake. There are situations that we sometimes have a great deal of familiarity with. The work of Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham is one of those situations for me. Readers here will know of my time spent as a CERT volunteer during national disasters, most of which involve hurricane relief.

I have worked closely with Samaritan’s purse, spent time inside that organization and know the scale of assistance they provide. They are, quite simply, the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.

On his podcast, Tucker Carlson and guest “Bro” Nathan Apffel spin a conspiracy tale that’s wildly out of touch with reality.

At the same time, they mock Christianity and Christian beliefs while taking aim at Franklin Graham, accusing him, among other things, of profiting from the Samaritan’s Purse mission.

Carlson even goes as far as to claim: Franklin Graham has a billionaire doomsday bunker in Alaska which he created from the donations to the organization, Samaritan’s purse has a $2.5 billion war chest and ownership of private airplanes worth $15o million which Graham and his leadership use for personal travel and self-enrichment.

Let me be very specific and very clear, every single thing they claim is false; demonstrably false and easily disproven for anyone who spent even five-minutes looking at the IRS filings of the organization....

This attack on Graham and Samaritan’s Purse, however, is not a poor decision. He is doing this with a willful attempt at deception bearing false witness, and it will not end well.

It is totally understandable why President Trump and the people around him have pushed a great distance from themselves and the dark imaginings of Tucker Carlson.

Without a fully repentant apology from Tucker Carlson toward Franklin Graham and the entire Samaritan’s Purse organization, I will never highlight anything from him again. This time he has just gone too far.

Tucker Carlson seems to have had a spiritual epiphany recently. In his book, Judaism is evil. Christianity is evil. Islam and Sharia are good.

Can you guess what is spiritual epiphany was?

In all seriousness, Carlson needs an exorcist to be rid of whatever has possessed him.

Tucker has joined the group that includes Nascar, the NFL-NBA-MLB-ETC.

This is the D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F group.

Life is far too short to pollute my days with this garbage.

My family has personal experience with Samaritan’s Purse after CAT 5 Hurricane Michael hit the Fla panhandle in Oct 2018. They were the main organization that was there long term for the residents. I would say they were there for at least 18 months, rebuilding and doing cleanup (FEMA was long gone).

I admire Tucker for takin on some of the news stories the mainstream media will not discuss, namely Epstein details and Las Vegas shooter details. However, something has happend lately to Tucker and he is on a self destruction mission.

Oh, my. A bridge too far.

That demon that Tucker said attacked him a while ago didn’t just do a hit-and-run. It’s still there.

No need to guess. Tucker has been clear that he was attacked by a demon.

Tucker once was kind of cute in his little bow ties and plaid shirts.
Now that he’s gone off his meds, he’s becoming downright ugly.

He has admitted to being attacked by a demon. Looks like he lost.

“the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.”

Our Nation is the key.
No business going halfway around the world to make a statement.

Sorry folks. Samaritans Purse made a doosh move.
Pure Politics

And he is Exhibit A for why I never pay any attention to people who have made a career and a fortune out of shooting off their mouths. I have never liked or trusted him. Plus, I am informed adult who can come to my own opinions without the aid of bloviators.

According to Carlson, Graham told Trump that Carlson was an “antisemite”. Again according to Carlson he tried to call both Trump and Graham to speak with them personally and got rejected. Now this was nearly a week ago. I don’t know what has happened since then, but does anyone with two brain cells to rub together really believe that Carlson is an antisemite? This is a rhetorical question because I know that there are indeed some people who will believe it.

Seems to me Tucker has suffered irreversible brain damage foe having his head stuck up his rectal cavity too long.
