In a fascinating podcast appearance, Tucker Carlson described Watergate as a “deep state coup” orchestrated by the CIA, FBI, and Bob Woodward, who was a former naval intelligence officer posing as a reporter to push Nixon out of power, and who is now part of the media complex.
During the clip, Tucker explained how the burglars who broke into the Watergate hotel were mainly CIA. Additionally, he noted, Nixon’s replacement, Gerald Ford, was a member of the Warren Commission. Rounding out his comments, he speculated that he knew JFK’s killers.
Starting his remarks, Carlson began his narrative. “I mean, if you look at what happened to Richard Nixon… Bob Woodward, who was a Washington Post reporter, had been a naval intelligence officer working in the Nixon White House, and then he shows up, like a year later, and he’s this brand new reporter,” he skeptically explained.
Still not done, the conservative icon said, “He’d never been a journalist at all… and somehow he gets the biggest story in the history of The Washington Post. He’s the lead guy in that story? Well, I worked at a newspaper… That is not how it works. You don’t take a kid like his first day from a totally unrelated business and put him on the biggest story.”
Building to a point, he noted, “Who is his main source for Watergate. Oh, the number two guy at the FBI. Oh, so you have the naval intelligence officer working with the FBI official to destroy the president.” Stating, “Okay, so that’s a deep state coup. What else? How would you describe that? If that happened in Guatemala, what would you say?”
Describing the absurd official story, the conservative stated, “And yet, the way it was framed… was, oh, this intrepid reporter fought power. No, no, this intrepid reporter Bob Woodward, was a tool of power, secret power… to bounce the single most popular president in American history, Richard Nixon from office before the end of his term.”
Still not done, Carlson said, “The people who broke into the Watergate office building… all, but one was a CIA employee. That’s real… So the whole thing, Richard Nixon was elected by more votes than any president in American history in the 1972 election… and two years later, he’s gone undone by a naval Intel officer, the number two guy at the FBI and a bunch of CIA employees.

Laying out a chilling line of reasoning, the former Fox News Anchor said, “Replace him with who, oh, Gerald Ford, who sat on the Warren Commission… Gerald Ford, the only unelected president in American history actually sat on the Warren Commission… You didn’t want to interview Jack Ruby in your investigation of the assassination. Okay, you’re fake.”

Concluding his comments, Tukcer said, “Nixon says I know why they killed Jack Kennedy… And he said to [the CIA director], and you can listen to the tape, it’s on the internet, is totally silent on this question… The CIA director has this kind of sinister silence… He doesn’t say anything, just like a very weird response.”
