While many Americans would love to see Tucker Carlson run for president now that the anchor has parted ways with Fox News, the popular pundit did, in fact, tell a reporter this week that he would be running for president and announcing his candidacy this week.
But then, within moments, Carlson admitted he was just joking.
The reporter who was toyed with is Mattathias Schwartz of Insider, who texted back and forth with Carlson on Tuesday night.
“Are you going to run for president?” Schwartz asked.
“Yes. Announcing Friday in New Hampshire.” Tucker responded.
Thinking the had a major scoop, Schwartz then sent four texts:
“Can I call you?
“I would like to be first with this.
“But I can’t stand it up with one text.
“Let me know. A voice call would be helpful.”
Tucker answered with: “Totally kidding. Sorry.”
“You got me,” Schwartz noted.
Carlson added: “I can never control myself. I’m fundamentally a d*ck. My apologies.”
The reporter then said: “It’s okay. I can appreciate a good troll. So you’ve ruled 2024 out completely, it sounds like,” but he never received a response.
