Tucker Carlson is set to join Donald Trump at an upcoming rally in Madison Square Garden on the 27th, following a fiery appearance in Duluth, Georgia, earlier this week.
Carlson confirmed the news in a conversation with RedState, stating, “Yes, I’m with him at MSG on Sunday and in Phoenix a week from today.”
The conservative commentator’s participation in Trump’s New York rally comes on the heels of his previously announced hurricane relief event in Glendale, Arizona, scheduled for October 31st.
However, it was his decision to appear in Madison Square Garden that grabbed the headlines. Carlson admitted the decision was last-minute, revealing, “I made the decision last night. I’m psyched for it.”
Carlson’s Duluth rally performance set the stage for what’s to come. In a speech dripping with humor and sharp criticism of the political elite, Carlson compared Trump’s return to power to a frustrated father coming home to deal with unruly children.
“He’s pissed!” Carlson exclaimed to the enthusiastic crowd. “Dad is pissed…and when Dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking.’”
