Tucker Carlson on How He Brought His Coronavirus Message to Mar-a-Lago
Though it’s hard to believe, Fox News host Tucker Carlson made his very first visit to Mar-a-Lago only a week and a half ago. The resort was hosting a birthday party for former Fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle, attended by Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump Jr., and RNC chair Ronna McDaniel—but Carlson wasn’t there for the party. He didn’t even know about it, he says. Instead he’d come with an urgent message for the president. He was there to pull Donald Trump aside and speak frankly about the dangers of the coronavirus epidemic, the gravity of which had not yet fully registered with Trump or his White House.
For his troubles, Carlson was actually exposed to the coronavirus, along with Senators Lindsey Graham and Rick Scott, all of whom had been in the room with infected Brazilian officials attending the party.
Trump had ample warning weeks ago that this crisis was coming and had mostly ignored it. On January 22, he told CNBC that the coronavirus problem was “totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” Five days after, former vice president Joe Biden wrote an op-ed in USA Today, making the observation that “Trump’s demonstrated failures of judgment and his repeated rejection of science make him the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health challenge.”
