Frank Luntz Blames Tucker Carlson's Criticism On Presidential Aspirations
2021-05-10
[The Federalist] Frank Luntz, a longtime GOP pollster, is not too happy with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson’s recent criticism. On The New York Times’s "Sway" podcast Thursday, Luntz said he believes Carlson’s reporting is a product of the Fox News host’s supposed inclination to run for president.

"Tucker realizes that he can make any accusation he wants to make, and that cadre, because he’s very popular among a certain segment of conservatism," Luntz claimed.

"I think Tucker is running for president. And I think that’s what he’s going to do. And I think he’s going to try to demonize and destroy anyone who might stand up against him. And that’s all that this is," Luntz said.

Earlier this week, Carlson reported on a tip that Luntz was renting a room to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in his Washington D.C. apartment. He alleged McCarthy’s actions violated ethics rules in the House about receiving gifts — since Luntz has worked for Google. Below is the transcript from the Fox News segment:

#2  100% psychological projection. He's taking his own worst fears and projecting them on others.

It's shocking how out of step the GOP is with its voters. That part of the party represents...who? A couple hundred thousand people in all of America?
