Description: An advocate of former U.S. president Donald Trump, Carlson was described by Politico as "perhaps the highest-profile proponent of 'Trumpism' and willing to criticize Trump if he strayed from it".[9] He is also said to have influenced some of Trump's key policy decisions, including the cancellation of a military strike against Iran in 2019.[10][11] Carlson's remarks on race, immigration, and women – including slurs he said on air between 2006 and 2011 (which resurfaced in 2019)[12][13] – have provoked accusations of racism and sexism, as well as advertiser boycotts of Tucker Carlson Tonight.[14][15][16] As of April 2021, it was the most-watched cable news show in the United States.[17]
