(Slay News) – Fox News host Tucker Carlson has called on the Republican Party to stop ignoring voters, warning that it’s “an SOS moment.”
Carlson has sent rumors swirling about a possible 2024 bid by attending an event in Iowa “known for helping pick presidential contenders.”
The cable news star went to Iowa, as every other politician eyeing 2024 has, to speak at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines.
During his remarks, Carlson ripped Republicans for ignoring their voters.
While declaring that he would not run himself, but leaving it open a crack, Carlson warned that the GOP needs to step up.
“When you come back to next year’s summit, will you be the Fox News TV host interviewing potential presidential hopefuls, or will you be a presidential hopeful?” Tucker was asked.
“God knows what the future holds,” Carlson said.
“The people I’m madest at in the world are the people who don’t do their duty and leave the vulnerable exposed.
“It’s the dad who leaves his kids — that’s a guy, I’d just like to punch him in the face.
“I mean it because that’s your duty.
“Those are your children, and you left.
“You don’t care about them.
“That’s the most basic violation there is. It’s not what the enemy does to you; it’s what people charged with ensuring your welfare do to you.
“The average Republican voter is not represented in a meaningful way by his or her leaders in Washington, and I cannot stress that enough
“I have every intention of staying in the job that I’m blessed to have.
“But I’m going to keep hammering that, not because I want to weaken the Republican Party, no, because the Republican Party is our only option.
“That’s it,” he said.
“We need immediate attention and help.
“This is an SOS moment.”
