Tucker Carlson says he felt obligation to meet with Trump on virus
NEW YORK — Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson says he felt a “moral obligation” to meet with President Donald Trump and warn him personally about the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic.
He declined a request to speak to The Associated Press about it on Wednesday, and the White House had no comment on a private meeting. “People you know will get sick,” Carlson said that night. “Some may die. This is real. That's the point of this script — to tell you that.” Most people who get the coronavirus have only mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.Carlson told Vanity Fair that he told Trump “exactly what I've said on TV, that this could be really bad.” He hasn't talked about his meeting on television and wanted to keep it a secret, although it was revealed in a story by The New York Times.
