Former President Donald Trump will opine on a list of acutely controversial topics in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Aug. 23, offering the American public a titillating counter-programming event that may divert many from the Republican presidential debate airing at the same time.
Mr. Carlson asked President Trump about the prospect of a civil war and whether his opponents may try to have him assassinated.
Whether the interview, which will be published on X, formerly known as Twitter, will outdo the Fox News debate, moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, is to be determined. An intense preview posted on Mr. Carlson’s page showed that the former president would address several bombshell questions.
“Whatever Happened to Mike Pence?”
“He’s out there attacking you. What is that?” asked Mr. Carlson.
Mr. Pence served as President Trump’s vice president. The two were known to have a good working relationship until the events leading up to and on Jan. 6, 2021, when President Trump called for Mr. Pence to overturn the 2020 election in his role as the congressional certifier of the presidential election results. Mr. Pence refused President Trump’s demand and instead certified the election for President Joe Biden.
Mr. Pence has repeatedly said he had no right to overturn the 2020 election. He launched his presidential campaign in early June. He said that the Aug. 1 indictment of President Trump in Fulton County, Georgia, for allegedly trying to overturn the Peach State’s 2020 election results “serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.”
He also said President Trump’s “candidacy means less attention paid to Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.”
Mr. Pence said, “Our country is more important than one man. Our Constitution is more important than any one man’s career. On January 6th, former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.”
President Trump responded to Mr. Carlson, “In my opinion, Mike Pence had the absolute right to send the votes back to the legislatures.”
“I think he got very bad advice,” he added.
