A false claim made by former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush to Tucker Carlson earlier this month has morphed into a full-blown MAGA conspiracy theory involving Chelsea Clinton’s wedding that was eventually amplified by the soon-to-be vice president.
During an appearance on Carlson’s right-wing podcast on January 6, Bush discussed the fallout over the infamous Access Hollywood tape that featured Donald Trump saying he could grab women “by the p***y.” The 2005 clip, which captured Bush and Trump speaking on a hot mic, surfaced just a month before the 2016 election and resulted in NBC firing Bush from the Today show just two months after hiring him.
