Trump Claims He’ll Consider Tucker Carlson For VP

Media Matters has the transcript:

CLAY TRAVIS : Would you consider Tucker Carlson on your VP list? And I want to give you a hypothetical here. You’re a big spots fan. You know, like, Nick Saban’s going to retire at some point, and if you talk to the athletic director at Alabama, he would say he has a list. So, would Tucker Carlson be on your list of potential VPs, and how many names might be on that list as you sit and look and survey the political field?

TRUMP: Well, first of all, you know I did my first — you could call it counter programming, but I won’t call it that. But Tucker wanted to do an interview during the first debate and — I think you know because this is what your business is — we broke every record in history. I like Tucker a lot, I guess I would. I think I’d say I would because he’s got great common sense. You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative, it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall because walls work.

There’s more, including Trump repeating his widely-debunked claim that 300 million people watched his Twitter interview with Carlson.
