Tucker Carlson Hails Trump as Bravest Man in RNC Speech

Mediaite "reports"

Before Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination, Carlson addressed the crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and hailed the former president as "the bravest man." On Saturday, Trump was nearly assassinated while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He was shot in the ear. One rally-goer was killed and two others were critically wounded.

A group of Secret Service agents swarmed a bloodied Trump, who eventually got up and held up a fist and told the audience, "Fight."

"When he stood up after being shot in the face, bloodied, and put his and up, I thought at that moment, that was a transformation," Carlson said. "This was no longer a man. I think that- I think it was divine intervention. But the effect that it had on Donald Trump, he was no longer just a political party's nominee or a former president or a future president. This was the leader of a nation."

The crowd cheered and applauded.

"Being a leader is very different," he went on. "It's not a title. It's organic. You can't name someone a leader. A leader is the bravest man. That's what the leader is. That is true in all human organizations. This is a law of nature. And in that moment, Donald Trump - months before the presidential election - became the leader of this nation."
