The winner was Donald J. Trump and Tucker Carlson with 250 million views of their interview.
250,000,000 is 50 million more than every vote cast (including alleged fraudulent) in the 2020 popular vote and as many as the Super Bowl. I highly doubt that 250 mil watched this single interview. There are lies, damned lies, and there are statistics.
Trump is far and away the front-runner here. But portraying that number as “viewership” is just a flat-out exaggeration. 250 million watching anything would drive in potential advertising dollars that would exceed all of those Super Bowl commercials. Tucker, even if interviewing Trump is nowhere near that level.
Twitter might as well say he got eleventy-gajillion views and it would have the same level of legitimacy.

My bad. Only 115 million watched the Super Bowl
according to Nielson. So claims here say that more than double that watched a Tucker live-stream interview with President Trump.

At any rate, desantis supporters could only wish that he could at least garner 10% of that interest.

‘views’ means someone at least hovered over the video feed for at lease two seconds. Others who have spoken on the subject suggest that there may have been 20 million who actually watched it - which still blows away Fox’s numbers.
