“The prosecution of Donald Trump is clearly political,” Carlson said. “He is literally Joe Biden’s main political opponent and currently holds more than 60% support among Republican voters. They are using the power of law enforcement to detain their biggest rivals, and that is what is happening now.”
President Trump praised the Daily Caller co-founder’s words in a video uploaded by Team Trump.
“Tucker Carlson is a very good man and he is right,” Trump said. “The number one reason the totally corrupt Biden administration and ailing Washington establishment are after me is because I oppose their failed foreign policy. Putting first and always putting America first.
