The arena immediately rose to its feet for the former Fox host.
Tucker Carlson, who did not use a teleprompter, talked about how last week’s assassination attempt resulted in a “transformation” in the former president.
“He was no longer just a political party’s nominee, or a former president or a future president. This was the leader of a nation,” he said.
Tucker Carlson walks up to the podium to speak on the final day of the Republican National Convention on Thursday, July 18, 2024, in Milwaukee.
Carlson said he spoke with Trump immediately after the shooting and the former president said he was amazed the crowd did not run away.
“This is the most responsible, unifying behavior from a leader that I’ve ever seen,” he said.
Carlson and Fox News agreed to part ways last year following the network’s $787.5 million settlement agreement with Dominion Voting Systems.
Dominion accused Fox News in a lawsuit of knowingly pushing false conspiracy theories that the voting machine company rigged the 2020 presidential election in Joe Biden’s favor.
