MILWAUKEE — At a Tuesday morning interview hosted by Axios, Donald Trump Jr. said something at once shocking and obvious to anyone who had been paying attention to the cable news appearances of the former president’s son: He had been blacklisted by Fox News.
The disclosure didn’t sit well with at least one Fox News host, however, and this host — Sean Hannity — looked to rectify the situation almost immediately.
Hannity invited Don Jr. on his show Tuesday night for Fox News’ coverage of the Republican National Convention. And Don Jr. obliged. The former president’s son spent about 15 minutes talking about his father’s support in the party, the convention, the assassination attempt and the upcoming election.
But behind the scenes, Don Jr. didn’t just let the grudge go.
The former president’s eldest son decided to bring a guest along with him to the greenroom Tuesday night, a guest that he knew would ruffle some Fox News feathers: Tucker Carlson.
Carlson was fired from the network in 2023, and he’s since taken his act to X, where his influence has remained relatively steady in the GOP, even if he doesn’t have a nightly cable news program on the most watched channel for Republicans.
