Tucker Carlson: ‘Not Crazy’ to Think ’It Wasn’t Just a Lone Gunman’

Two days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, political commentator Tucker Carlson says, “It’s not crazy to think that there was something there, it was an effort to kill Trump, it wasn’t just a lone gunman.”

The assailant crawled on to a nearby rooftop Saturday night while Trump was on stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh. The shooter fired multiple shots, shirking Trump in the right ear. It remains unclear how the gunman, who was killed, was not seen and neutralized by authorities prior to opening fire.

“At some point we may find out what happened on Saturday,” Carlson says.

The Daily Signal caught up with Carlson behind the scenes of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Monday to asked about the implications of the assassination attempt on the election, and Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, for vice president.

Having the FBI as investigators we will never find the truth about this incident.

[Kariakas]

The interviewer lets him talk at length and has no agenda, good interview.

[iansansburn]

The older and more awake I’ve become, the more I find myself agreeing with Tucker and very much appreciate his anti-establishment viewpoints. He is a great man!

[lisafeck]

Well done Virginia Allen. Thank you for sincere questions, no gotchas, and allowing Carlson to speak without interrupting him.

A loner kid, living with his parents in Bummfuck, PA, ends up in a commercial for BlackRock? How do you explain that?

[bjbear]

Intended Negligence by Secret Service command.

He called this in September. And they called him crazy.

The Secret Service provides neither service nor security.

[uktea]

There is a lot of evil. Prayers for the USA.

[cyrillawless]

It is amazing how well Tucker talks and makes sense without a script.

[BillieJean-yedo]

It's nice to see Tucker Carlson out and about. I'm glad he is supporting Trump.

[KG-xtoq]

Now I understand why it's called secret service...it's a secret as to what service they provide.

[lauracraft]

Finally a real interview with real questions not propaganda

[michaeldavidson]

Tucker's intelligence and ability to be honest and straightforward, enables him to handle all questions, pro and con.

[AvidGardner-eyfe]

I love how he introduces himself, “ Hi, I’m Tucker, Carlson.” ….As though no one knows who he already is. He is so humble and I love it.

[deezdeez]

Tucker is the most refreshingly honest person in front of a microphone today. God bless him

[lizzymayethebordercollie]

Let’s be honest! We will never find out! FBI investigates itself? Won’t happen!

[frankdooley]

Isn't it lovely to see a real interviewer who looks normal and isn't trying to push their own agenda. Asks questions and allows an answer without interruption. That interview was like going back in time when people had manners and dignity.

[rosreaviemore]

Why is this lady journalist not on every TV screen across America. I love the way she asked the questions and let him answer.
Lady you really are at the TOP of your profession. Watching from the UK, wish we had you here.

[wesleymattielo]

Good Job of this smart journalist! She was professional, asked good questions and Tucker gave her the attention she deserved. Nice interview.
