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...

” He is a reporter.”
Nope.
Stick a bow tie on it, Tucker.
Fox must have sent their ‘persuaders’ to his dressing room.
Tucker may have come off as rude, arrogant, etc......but I think it actually may be that he is scared and desperate. Tuckers ratings, like the rest of Fox News, have have gone into a nosedive. Sidney Powell on his show would have done wonders for his slumping numbers. She would have been a ratings bonanza. Tucker has come to the realization that his goose will not always lay golden eggs.
I’m not a special pleader for anyone, but I notice that we are doing something we criticize the left for: the minute someone does something we don’t like, they are written off completely as persona non grata.
Carlson deserves to be excoriated for this particular incident, but I don’t think he is evil, useless, stupid, treacherous, etc.
I’m much more prepared to label someone like Dana Perino because she has always been a waffling Bushie. Carslon has always been pretty staunch and consistent.
It sounds like Powell’s response was because he (or his representatives) were badgering her both for her to appear and to present her evidence. My reaction was Tucker appeared proud of himself because he believes he’s exposing her as a fraud.
Tucker’s now off my watch list (along with all of Fox News except for Maria and Dobbs; Varney was on the “except for” list, but he’s referred to Biden as “President Biden”) but others will continue to watch and report so we will know if anything newsworthy is made.
Changed my plan with Spectrum, no cable news whatsoever on my plan, local networks and 10 relatively clean channels. The do provide me 100mgb internet service, could drop all the TV if need be.
Sucker Charlatan bump.
Dana Perino was never written in for me, and I don’t like that 4 or 5 show.
Tucker, I liked him but he’s on Fox and I had been getting tired of Fox.
I was finished with Fox, even before the polls closed on election night.
So, if that’s leftist somehow, well, I have a leftist trait, or maybe it’s just a human trait.
“IT IS NOT SYDNEY POWELL’S JOB TO DO WHAT BASIC JOURNALISM REQUIRES OF THE PRESS! IF TUCKER WANTS EVIDENCE: HE AND HIS TEAM SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNCOVERING IT AGES AGO! 😠”
Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He is a commentator. Like Rush, Hannity and all of CNN/MSNBC and the rest of the lame stream media.
“Business Insider” - what crap. No need to click the link; sorry I gave them the hit.
:: These federal legislators have staffs of people. Why aren’t they keeping up to date ::
They will blame COVID
Conveniently
It’s SIDNEY, people, not “Sydney” !
Love it, aMorePerfectUnion !
‘off’= ‘of’
Lou Dobbs is President Trump's most faithful supporter for years on FOX. He is on FOX Business every week day. Why are so many here not familiar with him. Hannity is kind of a blow hard in my opinion.
She should have more important things to do then get in a pissing ware with bowtie boy on Faux
Just let him whine to himself
She has a giant legal case a head of her, focus
Responding gives him credibility
That is worse
Stay focus and ignore the fray
