Sidney Powell: Tucker Carlson 'Insulting, Demanding, And Rude'
Newsmax ^ | 11-20-2020 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 11/20/2020 8:28:47 AM PST by blam

Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, during an appearance on Fox Business Friday morning, slammed Fox News prime time host Tucker Carlson as being "insulting, demanding, and rude" after he called her out for not presenting evidence for her claims that Communist countries were behind voting software that she said threw votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

"I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence," Powell told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. "In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation, and I offered him another witness who could explain the math and the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person."

Carlson, Powell said, was "insulting, demanding, and rude, and I told him not to contact me again, in those terms.”

Powell, during a Thursday afternoon news conference with Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, claimed that countries like Cuba, China, and Venezuela were behind Dominion Voting Systems, the company behind the voting machines. Dominion has strongly denied any such connection.

"Sidney Powell has been saying similar things for days. On Sunday night, we texted her after watching one of her segments. What Powell was describing would amount to the single greatest crime in American history," Carlson said on his program Thursday night. "Millions of votes stolen in the day. Democracy destroyed, the end of our centuries-old system of self-government, not a small thing."

He added that the show invited her onto the program, where "we would've given her the whole hour, we would’ve given her the entire week actually and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention."

But, Carlson claimed Powell "never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests...

Dear Tucker:
I am not Donna Brazille.
Do your own homework.

Warmest Regards and Bless Your Heart
Sydney

Election fraud, which is done by the software and the people running the elections is a far bigger problem than voter fraud. Voter fraud occurs when individuals vote for someone else, in the wrong jurisdiction, more than one time etc.

MNDude :" Tucker knows damn well this us true, yet he tries to gaslight us and tell us there is no evidence."

Release of any specific proof of testimony/ guilt to any news media
would taint any potential jury pool.
Sidney is saving up her 'creds' and proofs for trial, not the media,.. and Tucker knows it, ..as do his paymaster overLords.
Typical pre-court ploy !

Fox started to change a while back.

They are finished, IMHO-

They won’t do well trying to compete with CNN and MSNBC... Abandoning their market I do not think was a prudent long term strategy. But I am sure they have a lot of experts and data internally to support their decision.

Folks on the right and especially the religious right are far less “inclusive” and “tolerant.” The left tends to be able to accommodate a broader base, i.e. Muslims and feminists alike. Black Lives Matter voters and Jews. Groups that are basically completely opposed to each other based on their ideas. But within the right you tend to not get that. Just the fact that Romney is a Mormon, or the Trump isn’t some super Christian second only to Jesus causes problems to where a lot of Christian voters using their values to judge have a hard time to accommodate. It’s actually a good thing, a compliment, since tolerance and inclusion today really just mean being devoid of any values/principals and being highly inconsistent (situational dependent). FOX is on a long term trajectory which will alienate its core viewers.

Good bye FoxNews.

Good bye ALL OF YOU, you now work for CNN-Lite.

Agreed. Wholeheartedly. Believe it or not, I actually have more respect for CNN than I do for Fox News (although that's not saying much) because at least CNN comes right out and tells you to your face 24/7/365 that they all absolutely hate & despise President Trump. So you already know that going in if you ever tune into CNN for any reason. Is there even one person in the world who thinks that Wolf, Chris Cuomo, Don LeMon, and Dana Bash don't hate President Trump? Of course not. In contrast, I can't stand the game that Fox News is playing .....

Tucker has had to move twice very recently and has a young family. He has to be under pressure from Fox news about his coverage. Would you be surprised if he might have bent a little from what he normally would have.

Maria Bartiromo and Lou Dobbs have been on Trump’s side the entire time. They are both very intelligent and seem to do research and investigative journalism themselves. Tucker Carlson has been up and down about President Trump. He is also protecting his multi million dollar salary on Fox News which has taken quite a hit lately on its viewership

“Millions of votes stolen in the day.”?

Actually, they were stolen in the night

I’m not surprised, but very disappointed not only over what he appears to be doing, but as much for his rationale for doing so. Carlson knows his audience and he apparently thinks they will follow along as FOX turns into a weaker version of MSNBC.

Don’t pay any attention to what anyone says on Fox. Just BOYCOTT.

Agree. Hard to see Tucker recovering from a near 5 minute long ranting attack on President Trump’s lawyer. If we want that we can watch any old Fake News channel to get it.

I think Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity own their shows as opposed to Fox hiring someone for a Fox time slot - I don’t think Tucker or Laura Ingram are in that position

Very few media types seem to do any homework. I’m not sure about congressmen and senators either. It seems to me that something that a few R senators or congressmen just came out with, demanding an investigation as if it was new news, was already written about on conservative treehouse a while ago.

These federal legislators have staffs of people. Why aren’t they keeping up to date with the latest information on topics of vital interest to this country?

They’re not listening to any “experts” or “internal data”
Keep in mind, it’s now run by rabidly insane lib women that are making serious corporate decisions based solely on raw emotions of mostly hate. Both Tucker and Hannity would both be wise to looking for other gigs because it’s only a matter of time before both of these guys are finished at FOX.
