Tucker Carlsonthe first host of Fox News who referred The GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump as “a demonic force” in 2021, kept things on brand this Halloween. That night, as costumed ghosts and ghouls roamed the streets in search of treats, Carlson was on stage with the man he also called “a destroyer”. And that’s not the only demon in Carlson’s DMs this week, as the YouTuber also claimed that a demon crawled into bed with him while he was sleeping.

The mystery of Tucker Carlson quickly descended from his perch as the cable channel on the right the biggest star it was the source of endless contemplation. Is it because he sent tests? they were too racist even for channel senior management? It was because of the Fox Corp chair Rupert Murdoch I found Carlson advocacy for prayer disappointing? Or maybe Carlson just wasn’t praying enough, if his recent claims that a demon physically attacked him were true.

News that God has turned his back on Carlson came this week at the release of a trailer for the upcoming film. Christianity? In a teaser posted on YouTubeCarlson is asked by the interviewer John Heers if he believes that “the presence of evil causes men to wonder about good.”

The question seemed like a wonderful opening for Carlson to explore the questions of evil posed by Trump, a man who just last week claimed that God chose him to lead our nation. After all, when one thinks of evil, one probably imagines people committing acts betrayal, rapeand bigotry or which are just super into Hitler! That would be when Carlson, who in 2021 texted his then-producer Alex Pfeiffer to say that Trump is “a demonic force, a destroyer,” he would join other conservative patriots publicly denounce the man he so happily denounced in private?

If they did, that would have been amazing for sure! But somehow, the truth is even more startling. Instead, Carlson responded that he had “first-hand experience” with the evil a year and a half ago, when “in my bed at night. I was attacked while I was sleeping with my wife and four dogs and they maimed me, physically maimed me.”

Occam’s razor would lead us to assume that the culprit here was one of the four dogs. After all, these dogs were rumored to be strong enough to deny the former presidential candidate Ron DeSantis Carson’s main opinion. Sure, Carlson denied that rumorbut ask anyone who sleeps with their pets (including this correspondent): you’re almost certain to wake up with a scratch or a bump, between canine dreams of chasing bunnies and that morning food request.

But Carlson went straight to Hell with his assumptions, saying he was attacked “by a demon — or something unseen that left claw marks on my sides.”

“I was totally confused,” says Carlson. “I woke up and I couldn’t breathe and I thought I was going to suffocate and I walked outside and then I came in and the wife and the dogs didn’t wake up and they are very light sleepers. .”

“And then I had this terrible pain in my rib cage and my shoulder, and I was just in my boxers and I went and turned on the bathroom light and I had four claw marks on each side under my arms and on my left shoulder. And it bleeds.” The claws came from a demon, he began to believe, causing him to spend “a year and a half reading (the Bible), and then I started rereading it, and it was a, just a transformative experience for me.”

That transformation didn’t happen on Halloween, when Carlson welcomed Trump to a stop in Glendale, Arizona, on his Tucker Carlson LiveTour. Conformable TO Arizona Republicthe appearance of the former president was quite quiet. Carlson asked “softball questions of Trump, who for about 90 minutes covered years of familiar material in rambling stories.”

“He peppered his comments with habitual malice,” the paper notes. Trump the most noteworthy remarks that night— that he wanted to put the Republican colleague Liz Cheney “With a rifle sitting there with nine barrels shooting at it. OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are pointed in her face,” was left unanswered by Carlson, who earlier this week endorsed as well vaguely sexualized inter-family fight.

The whole situation suggests that Heers might be onto something with the whole “presence of evil” thing after all – he might be asking the wrong people about where the Devil really lives.
