‘And There It Is’: Tucker Carlson Brutally Roasted After Announcing 9/11 ‘Cover Up’ Series

Tucker Carlson ignited a firestorm of condemnation this week when he dropped the trailer for his new series on the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, in which he claims to debunk the accepted narrative around what happened.

“The official story on 9/11 is a complete lie. The 9/11 report is a joke,” Carlson says in the trailer before one of his guests adds:

You have the CIA following two men all over the planet, and then eventually even to America, right? And you don’t tell the FBI. The 9/11 commission is a cover-up.

“So what did happen? What did the government know? What did foreign governments know? There was a cover-up, why? It’s been nearly 25 years and it’s time Americans learned what actually happened. We’re gonna tell you,” Carlson then claims.

Carlson, a former Fox News host and longtime close ally of President Donald Trump, has stirred controversy in recent years with all kinds of wild takes and conspiracy theories, including his much-maligned Patriot Purge series in which he accused the government of being behind January 6th as a way to entrap Trump supporters. Carlson has also gone so far as to claim he was physically attacked by a demon, to try and relitigate World War II, and to have a friendly sit down with Russia’s Vladimir Putin – who later criticized Carlson for not asking tough questions.

Criticism of Carlson’s new series came from across the political spectrum and even from some of his former employees. “In 2010 or 2011, shortly after I began working for Tucker, he went on a 9/11 Truther radio show and systematically dismantled the host on the guy’s own show. It was hilarious. His best performance ever imo. The host was just humiliated by Tucker. Now this,” wrote journalist Jamie Weinstein in response.

David French added, “The devolution continues apace.”
