The midterm elections are right around the corner, and Fox News host Tucker Carlson is giving some advice to candidates hoping to secure a win over their political opponent on Election Day.
Many expected a “red wave” to bring Republicans back into power in the House come the mid-term election in November. However, with now some races close, Carlson pointed his finger at one of the reasons he believes brought about the turnaround.
“In a special election last week in New York’s 19th congressional district, Democrat Pat Ryan beat Republican Marc Molinaro,” Carlson said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“Now, in a red wave year, you would’ve thought the opposite would happen. And this was a very tight district. This district went to Joe Biden by a point and a half in the last election.”
Carlson told Republican candidates who want to win their race to do the opposite of what the senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, does to ensure they come out on top in November.
“There’s evidence that the Republican Party may be at fault by alienating its own voters and not getting them to the polls,” Carlson added. “So just to be clear to Republican candidates — that was Lindsey Graham.”
“Your job is to make fun of Lindsey Graham and to disavow Lindsey Graham. Your job is not to emulate Lindsey Graham and steal his talking points. And if you do emulate Lindsey Graham and steal his talking points, you will lose. And the losing candidates did just that.”
