Chris Hayes debunks Tucker Carlson’s “Scoundrel Origin Story” in an old video

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes aired old footage of Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that he says could be the Fox News personality’s “villain origin story.”

In a 2009 speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Carlson lamented the lack of a right-wing alternative to the New York Times and warned the public that “a news organization whose primary objective is not to deliver accurate news” will be doomed.

“You will fail. You will fail,” Carlson said. “Conservatives need to build institutions that mirror those institutions. This is the truth. You do not believe me?”

The audience booed.

Carlson correctly identified “the fundamental political right did not have their own rigorous journalism institutions that could only produce reliable and trustworthy information for the people,” Hayes said.

Carlson’s response was to create The Daily Caller website.

But it didn’t work as a selling point, Hayes explained, because it wasn’t the conservative appetite.

“That video over there of Tucker getting booed at CPAC for having the temerity to tell that obvious truth might as well be his villain origin story,” Hayes said.

Carlson learned his lesson and later leaned into fringe conspiracies at Fox News, Hayes said.
