Tucker Carlson went to town on President Donald Trump over his explanation for the AI-generated image he posted of himself looking like Jesus Christ.
During Wednesday’s episode of the “Tucker Carlson Show,” he described Trump’s post as “disruptive.”
“It’s Donald Trump, president of the United States, dressed as Jesus, healing a man. You can see the healing power coming off of his right hand,” the political commentator said.
Trump, who Carlson described as a “famously irreligious man,” tried to explain his way out of the controversy after he received widespread criticism, even from his own base.
“So, he sent that out and then withdrew it, deleted the tweet from the internet after an outcry, but was asked about it, and he said, ‘Yeah, I sent that’ … And he said, ’I sent it out, but it wasn’t me as Jesus,’ though obviously it is. [Trump said] ‘it was me as a doctor because I heal people.’”
