President Donald Trump on Sunday defended Tucker Carlson over his controversial interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes—which drew condemnation from some Republican leaders and supporters of the president—saying that the former Fox News host can’t be told who he can interview.
Speaking to reporters on the tarmac before returning to the White House from Florida, Trump was asked about Carlson’s controversial interview and what role the former Fox News host should play in the Republican Party.
Trump responded: “ I found him to be good…he said good things about me over the years…I think he’s good. We’ve had some good interviews.”
