Tucker Carlson says stigma around backing Trump 'disappearing fast'

Former television host Tucker Carlson said the social stigma around backing former President Donald Trump in polite society is “disappearing fast” following his reaction to Saturday’s assassination attempt.

“The big change in the last week is that the social sanction levied against people for supporting Trump is disappearing fast,” Carlson said at a Heritage Foundation event outside the Republican National Convention. “One of the reasons this was such a divided country is that people were not allowed, normal white-collar professionals were not allowed to even consider the possibility that Trump might be less than Hitler. And now I think they can.”
