BLOOMINGTON, IN — Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson debated attendees on a variety of hot-button issues for hours at a sold-out Turning Point USA event at Indiana University on Oct. 21.
But first, he opened his speech by commending the late Charlie Kirk 's ability to bring together the different factions of the right, which Carlson said he was less successful at doing.
"A lot of us, including me, are a lot more divisive and hot-headed," he told the crowd.
Kirk was supposed to speak at IU as part of his American Comeback Tour, which was to bring his "prove me wrong" debate style to college campuses across the country. After he was assassinated in September at Utah Valley University, the first stop on his tour, TPUSA announced Carlson would speak at IU instead.
