Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has gone on record claiming he was physically attacked by a demon while sleeping in his own bed, and the story only gets stranger from there.
In his own words, Carlson described the incident: “I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled, physically mauled.”
When the host asked if it was “a spiritual attack by a demon,” Carlson replied, “Yeah, by a demon.” He also added that the entity left “claw marks on my sides” and that the marks were still visible a year and a half after the incident.
This is the same Tucker Carlson who has questioned whether Donald Trump might be the Antichrist, privately called Trump a “demonic force,” and then campaigned for him anyway. Whether those facts are connected to the bedroom demon situation is, apparently, a matter of serious inquiry for Carlson himself.
Carlson has also gone well beyond his personal experience, suggesting a deeply troubling relationship between these entities and the U.S. government.
“What is the US government’s relationship with these things?” he asked on JRE. “There’s evidence that there is a relationship and that it’s a long-standing one… And people have been hurt by these things. That’s a fact. It’s a knowable fact. It’s a provable fact. And k*lled. An object that is by definition supernatural, it’s above the laws of nature as we understand them, and that has resulted in the de*ths of people.”
When pressed on what exactly causes these d*aths, Carlson referenced a Stanford medical school professor whose conclusion was that “there’s some kind of energy coming off here that scrambles people’s brains or kills them. And it’s not exactly radiation.”
Carlson’s credibility on the topic is complicated, however, by his well-documented habit of forgetting things he has said publicly. He flatly denied ever questioning whether Trump was the Antichrist, only to have an interviewer read his own words back to him verbatim: “Here’s a leader who’s mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist?”
Carlson’s response was unambiguous: “I actually did not say, ‘Could this be the Antichrist?’ I don’t know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips.”
He has since apologized for his role in the 2024 election cycle, saying, “You and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now. I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people and it was not intentional.”
