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

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...

Public perception is important.

Perceptions influence behaviors.

Ever hear of the saying “perceptions are reality?”

Trump needs to keep this alive and on the stage with a spotlight on it because if the curtain falls the truth will be hidden. You cannot trust the DOJ, you cannot trust the IC, you cannot trust anyone frankly not even those in his own party of which many would sell him out in a second if they saw a personal benefit. At those levels, they are all liars, cheaters, and thieves, and those that talk about ethics, leadership and values like a Comey are especially vile.

The MSM treated Vindman’s single affidavit as proof.

Don’t forget that Tucker’s wife and family were intimidated by a mob at their home. The “authorities” have the thugs and mob working for them. No one should have any respect for these people no matter how much they put on airs. They are not legitimate.

To what end? Not too long ago, Fox and the MSM were presented with solid evidence of crimes committed by the Biden family and what did Fox and the MSM do what that evidence? Although Tucker led with it for a few nights they dropped it like a bad habit and the MSM ran a few stories questioning the legitimacy of the story without actually verifying it on their own and essentially covering it up for Joe so yea - GFY with request for evidence - you’re not the arbiters of truth in this country.

So as a result of being "under pressure", Carlson has apparently agreed to "compromise" his principles "to keep his job" at a rapidly dying network? It doesn't make sense. I've always thought of Carlson as a more principled and honorable man than what he appears to be doing ... to himself, to his good name and to his family.

What do they consider evidence. They want to see the server. Geez I hope they have everything. And when this is done only do interviews with OAN and Newsmax. Nothing for FOX, they made enough money off of Trump for years. Then stab him in the back.

Hey that was a great post.

I’ve heard rumors that at one time investigative journalists investigated things...

Now they are just a propaganda machine.

I don’t understand getting in pissing wars with media idiots

I don't see how Powell defending herself with a comment could be considered a pissing war.

Carlson has a point. Time is of the essence here

You have an opportunity to observe how the establishment, the media, the left, and their lackies behave. The evidence is being laid at your feet. You can learn who these people are and what they are willing to do to advance their agenda.

No competent lawyer presents his evidence to the media or the public before it has been filed in court. Judges take a dim view of that behavior.

Whoops! Many people have complained, claiming I incorrectly described him as "Supreme Court Justice Tucker Carlson." So I deeply apologize and herewith provide the correction:

Good bye Tucker.

Good bye FoxNews.

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

Into the trash heap — sooner rather than later, I hope.

I caught a few minutes of NPR propaganda this morning. The phrases and words, “no evidence” and “lies” popped up frequently. It’s time to have a “discussion” with our neighbors about the media companies sponsored by globalist, commie/fascist plutocrats. It’s time to become more self-sufficient and boycott tyrants. It’s time for a revival of good ol’ boys in every community.

Well, to be fair, Tucker wouldn't do it himself. That's not the way it works nowadays. He's the on-air anchor/host/personality or whatever they call them.

But he does have producers and production assistants who can do that stuff for him.

This whole exchange became about egos and not about the story itself.

Somebody said something, somebody got their feathers ruffled and the whole thing deteriorated from there.

This is a nothing burger in the attempt to get Trump the win he deserves.

Sidney should go on after the election is finally determined and present her case for Tucker to analyze.

Until then, it only acts as a distraction to the real prize....Trump winning.
