Tucker Carlson’s RNC Speech Snubbed By CNN & MSNBC; “God Is Among Us,” Ex-Fox Host Tells GOP Before Trump Takes The Stage Tonight

deadline.com:

Tucker Carlson made a primetime return to Fox News tonight with his speech at the Republican National Convention, but the ex-host was nowhere to be seen on his old homes of CNN and MSNBC.

Taking the stage at the GOP shindig to the introduction of “Journalist, author and American citizen,” Carlson opened his remarks sounding very unlike a former bow tie-wearing conservative. “I’ve been to many conventions,” he told the delegates in Milwaukee after spending the past three days palling around with the Trumps and sitting in their VIP box.

I’ve never been to a more fun convention. I’ve never been to a convention with better vibes.” Venturing into the occasional aside and with no teleprompter, Carlson then delivered a full-throated seal of approval to Donald Trump and VP nominee J.D.

Vance to the enthusiastic and one-time “Mass Deportations Now” sign-holding crowd. On the last night of the RNC and just hours before Trump takes the stage in his first remarks since the July 13 assassination attempt, Carlson talked to the audience of “divine intervention” for the former president surviving the shooting at a rally in Butler, PA. “God is among us right now, I think that’s enough,” Carlson said leaving the stage to cheers. “That was Tucker Carlson, you may remember him from the eight o’clock hour here,” quipped Carlson’s FNC time slot replacement Jesse Walters when the Tucker Carlson Network founder’s less than 15-minute speech was over.
