Ex-Fox host tries to strongarm Trump into dropping potential vice president pick

A former Fox network host is threatening to pull his support of Donald Trump if he doesn't meet certain demands.

In an interview with Tim Pool at the Turning Point USA conference, Tucker Carlson revealed that he wouldn't back Trump if Nikki Haley was the vice presidential running mate.

"I would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could," Carlson complained.

"That's just poison," Carlson said of Haley. "I mean, here's someone who’s actively opposed to the interests of the country I grew up in, who endorsed the [Black Lives Matter] riots, and who is not left, but is neoliberal in the darkest, most – speaking of nihilist – nihilistic way, and has no real popular support, is a creature of the oligarchs. So yeah, that would be– that would be reason to oppose the ticket."

Carlson was among those being discussed by the far-right as a potential running mate for the ex-president. But he shot down the idea.

“I am a talk show host,” Carlson said. “That is what I do.”

“It’s just impossible to imagine myself getting involved in something like that,” he said. “And it’s not because I’m afraid. Because I’m not, at all. ... But because, how would I be good at it? You know what I mean? I don’t think I would.”
