Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed on his recent show evidence of blatant “quid pro quo” between former President Bill Clinton and a foreign leader during an election year.
According to Town Hall:
“You’ve heard endlessly on cable news that it is unprecedented the president would seek political gain from a conversation with a foreign leader. Well, turns out, it has happened before,” Carlson said.
“Back in 2000, President Bill Clinton had a conversation with Tony Blair of the U.K. and asked him to intercede in a dispute between British Airways and two carriers. The president, at the time, was much more direct than President Trump was in his conversation.
“This is Bill Clinton, and I’m quoting: ‘In a political season, it would be big over here to get this open sore resolved. If you could have somebody take a look at it.’ Tony Blair responded that he would,” the host said, reading from the transcript.
Carlson went on to say the conversation is “not really” a big deal, but it is clearly “an attempt to use a foreign country to influence the outcome of an election in a presidential year.”
Carlson said he is looking for more examples and that he and his team will report them as soon as they find them.
