Tucker Carlson Clarifies He Hasn’t Endorsed Anyone In Abdul El-Sayed Race

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson disputed reports Monday that he endorsed Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Corporate media claimed that Carlson endorsed El-Sayed after stating that he would not vote for Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers “at gunpoint” during a Sept. 2 episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show.” He argued during his most recent episode that he never endorsed El-Sayed or any other candidate in Michigan, but was merely pointing out that Rogers is not a true conservative.

“That’s the candidate in Michigan I supposedly endorsed .. which is absurd,” Carlson said. “I don’t know anything about him.”

“Did you ?” journalist Max Blumenthal asked.

“Of course not,” Carlson replied. “I didn’t endorse anybody. I’m a podcaster. But, moreover, I just know the guy he’s running against, Mike Rogers, who’s a loathsome person. Mike Rogers is exactly the Republican you run if you want to lose and they ran him before and he lost. Because no normal person would vote for Mike Rogers. He is the embodiment of everything that is ugly, immoral and stupid about the national security state. He is a tool of repression. He’s totally for warrantless spying and searches and everything that a conservative should be against. Mike Rogers is not a conservative to put it mildly. So I said, ‘this is craziness, you’re Mike Rogers?’ No way! And they’re like ‘well you endorsed the Muslim guy!'”
