Tucker Carlson appeared to troll Vice President Kamala Harris by sharing a letter from a fan by the same name.
In a Tuesday post to her official vice-presidential X account, Harris shared a letter from a fan named "Tucker." In the letter, Tucker described himself as a "fairly conservative" man and praised Harris and President Joe Biden's "efforts to establish common sense gun safety laws."
"Owning firearms is every American's constitutional right," Tucker wrote. "Like all things, there needs to be reasonable regulation like age restriction, background checks, and mental health screenings." Tucker, thank you for writing to me. While we may not agree on every issue, we both know that every person in our nation should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. The majority of Americans stand with us in support of commonsense gun safety legislation. pic.twitter.com/HUdgFUcKtt

"Thank you for heading the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and for yours and President Biden's push for common sense gun safety laws," he continued.
"I look forward to seeing what the Biden-Harris administration accomplishes in this regard," Tucker's letter concluded.
X users, including political commentator Ed Krassenstein, claimed they believed the letter was in fact from Carlson.
On Wednesday, Carlson shared his own letter from a fan similarly named "Kamala" who described herself as a "moderately progressive" woman.
"Honestly, I've never thought we had all that much in common," Kamala's letter reads. "Since college, I've considered myself moderately progressive, in the sense that I don't believe in law enforcement, national borders, or the right of American citizens to exercise fundamental human autonomy."

"You seemed like you were coming from a totally different place. I thought I disagreed with you on everything! Boy was I wrong," the letter continued as Kamala wrote that she saw Carlson's recent interview with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "There wasn't a word I disagreed with. Not one!"
The letter then referenced Harris' relationship with talk show host Montel Williams as Kamala wrote: "I turned to Montel and I said 'I was very wrong about this man. So so very wrong.'"
"So thank you. You've shown me something about myself and about the world," Kamala's letter concluded. "I will never forget it. Until we meet."
Harris has not responded to Carlson's letter as of Wednesday afternoon.
