Right-wing influencer Tucker Carlson is reportedly courting investments for a new media company that would bring content similar to what he posts on Twitter to subscribers.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Carlson is teaming up with conservative political adviser Neil Patel, with whom he launched The Daily Caller in 2010, to raise hundreds of million dollars. Carlson’s project would “potentially use Twitter as backbone,” the Journal said.
The 54-year-old conspiracy peddler parted ways with Fox News in April after the network paid Dominion Voting systems a $787.5 million settlement for lies they reported about that company’s services. Racist and sexist text messages from Carlson were unearthed during the discovery phase of that trial.
