Tucker Carlson, the popular Fox News host, has no intention of running for president in 2024, according to a cease and desist letter sent by his lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, to the Draft Tucker PAC.
The letter warned the PAC to stop soliciting funds and information based on the idea of drafting Carlson to run. Dhillon stated that Carlson will not mount a 2024 bid under any circumstances, and therefore the PAC's misrepresentations are damaging to Carlson and defrauding his supporters. The letter was directed to the executive director of the PAC, Charlie Kolean, and the PAC treasurer, Elizabeth Curtis.
"Mr. Carlson unequivocally disavows your activities. Therefore, your efforts to raise money for a 'draft' committee are a waste of your time and the money of every donor to your committee, as you are on notice that these funds will not, in fact, be used for the purpose stated. Nor will the data you are collecting under false pretenses be used for the stated purpose," Dhillon wrote.
The letter also noted that Carlson does not want people to be duped into giving their money and personal information to the PAC, which cannot possibly accomplish its stated goal. "Mr. Carlson does not want his supporters to be fooled into sending their hard-earned money and contact information to a project run in his name that he does not support and that has no chance of succeeding in its stated aims, and thus will necessarily be using the funds and donor data for other, undisclosed purposes," Dhillon wrote.
The Draft Tucker PAC's Twitter account no longer exists.
