Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross revealed how his former boss reacted when asked to confirm his relationship with Hunter Biden.
Ross, who used to work as a reporter for The Daily Caller, shared Tucker Carlson’s recent podcast episode where Hunter Biden sat down as a guest, recalling the host’s reaction to being confronted about the 2020 laptop story. It came as somewhat of a shock at the time when it was reported Carlson asked the former first son to write a letter of recommendation to help his kid get into Georgetown University, but the outlet’s reporters thought it would be the perfect way to “refute Bidenworld’s claims” about the laptop being Russian disinformation.
Instead of being happy to share the details with his own employees, Carlson reportedly “lashed out.”
Look:
Funny story: In 2020, after the Hunter laptop came out, journos at Daily Caller, the site Tucker Carlosn-founded site where I worked, came across emails that showed Tucker asking Hunter Biden to write a letter of recommendation for his son to get into Georgetown.
Us Caller…

“Funny story: In 2020, after the Hunter laptop came out, journos at Daily Caller, the site Tucker Carlosn-founded site where I worked, came across emails that showed Tucker asking Hunter Biden to write a letter of recommendation for his son to get into Georgetown,” Ross wrote in an X post. “Us Caller reporters thought this would be a great way to refute Bidenworld’s claims at that time that the laptop emails were fake or illegitimate. Someone who emailed with Hunter could verify their authenticity! We thought Tucker would be more than happy to help, and no ill will was intended. But no. Tucker lashed out at the Daily Caller employee who was tasked with contacting him about this, saying that a story on that would be an ‘attack on my family,’ or something along those lines.”
Ross describes it as a “black-pill moment.”
It was a black pill moment for me, and made me realize that Tucker was a complete phony and fake populist.
I didn’t care about this part as much, but his refusal to verify the emails was a refusal to help Trump.

X users reacted:
Tucker’s and Hunter’s mothers were closed friends back in the days when H’s mom was still alive. Tucker was talking about it back in 2024. He knows the family and how corrupt they are. He also dwelt in that life.

“I’m just a simple guy living in Maine who drives an old pickup truck!” as he begs the well connected political elite to give his son a recommendation letter for Georgetown

Why don’t we put the screws on Hunter more often. He is getting lots of camera time. We should remind everybody about the scum bag he is
