Tucker's dad, Richard “Dick” Carlson, is a journalist who was once appointed by President Ronald Reagan as director of the US Information Agency (USIA) that funded foreign propaganda networks, like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio and TV Martí and Voice of America (of which Dick was the director). Dick was also directly involved in bringing down the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua (supporting the cocaine dealing Contras).

President George H.W. Bush appointed Dick Carlson as US Ambassador to the Seychelles.

Dick Carlson was also included in several think tanks, including the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), where he was on the board together with Jeanne Kirkpatrick (also involved in Iran-Contra Affair) and none other than R. James Woolsey (CIA director from 1993 to 1995). When Dick later joined the Institute for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, he once again teamed up with Woolsey.

While his father was officially, secretly arming the cocaine dealing Contras, Tucker and his friend Neil Patel (Daily Caller co-founder) while still in college went to Nicaragua, to “get involved in the war and support the side that was right, which was not the Sandinista side”.

Carlson later boasted that that he was literally “standing next to her when she won”, US-backed, Contra-supporting candidate Violeta Chamorro.

Years later, Carlson as star journalist defended the drug trafficking, money laundering, terrorist financing North, saying “He is a great man, Ollie North”, and inviting him on Tucker Carlson Tonight multiple times.

Tucker Carlson was part of the disgraceful media attack on Contra drug trafficking reporter Gary Webb, saying that there was “no evidence” for Webb’s claims.

Tucker also lied that there is “ample evidence” that the CIA had “moved to remove drug traffickers” from the “Nicaraguan resistance” (see below)...

Tucker Carlson even joined the wonderful CNN, where he supported the invasion of Iraq.

Tucker even mingled with private US mercenaries, see him in 2004 (on the right) posing with 2 DynCorp International employees, holding a Kalshnikoff.”
