In an interview with Newsmax’s Eric Bolling, Lara Trump claimed the “really sad” part of self-confessed liar Carlson’s sudden exit from the conservative network was because “people are desperate for the truth and what is real.”
“We feel like we live in a world right now where we really don’t know what is real. Where can you get real news and real information? Where can you find the truth? What is real versus what is AI generated?” she asked, apparently failing to see the irony of her own father-in-law’s relaxed attitude to falsehoods.
Carlson, who has admitted to lying on his show and in private trashed the former president, was for “so many people,” said Lara Trump, “one of the few that would give it to you in the very real way, he would speak the truth even when perhaps it was unpopular to do so.”
People are upset at having no explanation about his exit from Fox, she added.
Boiling claimed Carlson “was let go because Fox is going woke, they’re moving left.”
Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, served as a surrogate for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign before joining Fox News as a paid contributor. The network announced it had parted ways with her in December.
