Tucker Carlson Spent Halloween With His Favorite ‘Demonic Force’

Tucker Carlson Spent Halloween With His Favorite ‘Demonic Force’

Tucker Carlsonthe former Fox News host to whom referred GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump as “a demonic force” in 2021, kept things ticking over this Halloween. That evening, as costumed ghosts and ghouls roamed the streets in search of treats, Carlson stood on stage with the man he also called ‘a destroyer’. And that’s not the only fallen angel in Carlson’s DMs this week, as the YouTuber also claimed a demon crawled into his bed while he slept.

The mystery of how Tucker Carlson does that descended quickly from his place as that of the right-wing cable channel biggest star has been the source of endless contemplation. Is it because he texted? were too racist even for the channel’s upper management? Was it because the chairman of Fox Corp Rupert Murdoch found Carlson’s plea for prayer unpleasant? Or maybe Carlson just didn’t pray enough, if his recent claims that a demon physically attacked him were true.

News that the Lord reportedly turned his back on Carlson broke this week following the release of a trailer for the upcoming film Christianities? In a teaser posted on YouTubeCarlson is asked by interviewer Johannes Heers if he believes that “the presence of evil makes people wonder about good.”

The question seemed like a great opening for Carlson to explore questions about the evil of Trump, a man who claimed as much last week. God chose him to lead our nation. When someone thinks of evil, he probably imagines people committing acts of evil treason, rapeAnd bigotry or who are just super into Hitler! Could this be the moment Carlson, who texted his then-producer in 2021 Alex Pfeiffer to say that Trump is “a demonic force, a destroyer” would join in other conservative patriots to publicly denounce the man he had longed to denounce privately?

If he had, it would have been a blast for sure! But somehow the truth is even more impressive. Instead, Carlson responded that he had “direct experience” with evil a year and a half ago when he lay in my bed at night. I was attacked while I was sleeping with my wife and four dogs and was mauled, physically mauled.”

Occam’s Razor would have us assume that the perpetrator was one of those four dogs. After all, it was rumored that those dogs were powerful enough to deny a former presidential candidate Ron DeSantis Carson’s endorsement in the first run. Sure, Carlson denied that rumorbut ask anyone who sleeps with their pets (this correspondent included): you’re almost guaranteed to wake up with a scratch or bump every now and then, between dog dreams of chasing bunnies and early morning demands for food.

But Carlson went straight to hell with his assumptions, saying he was attacked “by a demon – or by something invisible that left claw marks on my side.”

“I was completely confused,” Carlson says. “I woke up and couldn’t breathe, and I thought I was going to choke, and I walked outside, and then I walked in, and my wife and dogs weren’t awake yet, and they’re very light sleepers.”

“And then I had terrible pain in my ribcage and on my shoulder, and I was just sitting in my boxers and I turned on the light in the bathroom, and I had four claw marks on either side under my arms and on my left shoulder. And they bleed.” The wounds came from a demon, he came to believe, prompting him to “read the Bible for a year and a half, and then I started rereading it, and it was just a transformative experience for me.”

That transformation didn’t come on Halloween, when Carlson welcomed Trump to a stop in Glendale, Arizona on his Tucker Carlson LiveTour. According to to the Republic of ArizonaThe former president’s actions were rather sedate. Carlson threw “softball questions at Trump, who covered years of familiar material in extended narratives for about 90 minutes.”

“He peppered his comments with a casual cruelty,” the newspaper unsurprisingly noted. Trump’s most remarkable comments that evening– whom he wanted to call a fellow Republican Liz Cheney ‘with a gun standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK? Let’s see what she thinks about it. You know, when the guns are pointed at her face,” was unchallenged by Carlson, who earlier this week also endorsed vaguely sexualized inter-family spanking.

The whole situation suggests that Heers might be on to something with the whole ‘presence of evil’ thing after all – he might be asking the wrong people where the Devil really resides.
