Tucker Carlson declined to answer when he last spoke with VP JD Vance during a New York Times interview this week with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, stating he "wouldn't want to add to his problems at all."

Laura Loomer characterized Carlson as a political liability for elected officials, describing him as "a red line" and "a kiss of death" for anyone in office. She urged politicians to avoid association with the former Fox News host.
