Fox News’ Tucker Carlson railed against former House staffer Evan McMullin Friday night as a “liberal Democrat” masquerading in a red state Senate race as an independent.
“Utah is a conservative highly Republican state,” Carlson said in his opening prime-time monologue. “Evan McMullin has the same politics and worldview as Pete Buttigieg. He is running as a liberal Democrat. But he’s not running as a liberal Democrat, and that’s the key to success this year.”
McMullin is running as a self-professed independent, despite running with the complete endorsement of the Democratic Party while his campaign doles out $1.6 million to Democratic consultants in his crusade against GOP incumbent Sen. Mike Lee, one of the most constitutionally conservative senators in office. McMullin is also actively fundraising with the Democrats’ money machine ActBlue.
