Read our privacy policy Former Fox News host turned Twitter pundit Tucker Carlson once again made dark insinuations when he claimed during an interview that Democrats will attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Carlson first floated the idea that Mr Trump would be killed by Democrats during an interview last Thursday, which coincided with the first Republican GOP debate. Mr Trump mostly brushed the question off, calling his opponents "savage animals" before insisting there were "great people" in the Democratic party and saying he wanted to be representative of all Americans, marking a rare occasion in which the former president was made to look moderate in his views. Carolla asked Carlson what "the future holds," and whether or not "they" would let Mr Trump become president again, which led Carlson down the rabbit hole toward assassination.
