Tucker Carlson has once again caught the internet’s attention, this time by mocking Kamala Harris after he posted a letter allegedly from her on Twitter promoting gun control.
The letter, which appears to support gun control measures, has hit the internet, but not for the reasons Harris wants.
The letter Harris sent, allegedly written by “Tucker,” spoke about free speech and the Biden administration’s efforts to promote “common sense” gun laws.
In the spirit of establishing common ground, even though I am quite conservative and may disagree, I am writing to thank you and President Biden for your efforts to pass common sense gun safety legislation. Owning a firearm is a Constitutional right of every American. As with all things, there should be reasonable regulations like age restrictions, background checks, and mental health checks. Thank you for leading the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and for years and for President Biden’s push for common sense gun safety legislation. I look forward to seeing what the Biden-Harris administration does about it.
All the best and God bless.
Tucker
Tucker, thanks for writing to me. While we may not agree on every issue, we also know that everyone in our country should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. The majority of Americans stand with us in support of common sense gun safety legislation. pic.twitter.com/HUdgFUcKtt

Eagle-eyed social media users were quick to pounce on the inconsistency. Many noted that the letter’s language was strange and formal, especially for praising free speech — a right that many conservatives believe has been under siege during the Biden administration.
Under the watch of Harris and Biden, Americans have faced unprecedented censorship, lawfare, and imprisonment for simply expressing their opinions. The Gateway Pundit and others have been targeted, censored, and even had supporters imprisoned for the simple act of sending memes.
Second, there is suspicion that the letter was created by artificial intelligence rather than coming from Carlson himself.
In the statement to The Gateway PunditCarlson rejected the notion that he would ever endorse gun control measures. “Ha! Seriously? I’m carrying a gun now, as usual. There are few things I hate more than the efforts of the Democratic Party to destroy the American population. This is what dictators do,” he said.
He added, “People think I sent a handwritten letter to Kamala Harris advocating for gun confiscation? That’s moronic.”
Not one to let a good trolling opportunity pass, Carlson fired back with a satirical fake letter. In an over-the-top, childlike handwriting style complete with heart symbols, smiley faces, and “XOXO,” the letter sarcastically attributed to Harris praised Carlson in the most exaggerated and fawning terms.
The letter:
Dear Tucker,
I can’t believe I’m writing this letter to you, but here it is. To be honest, I never thought we had everything in common. Since college, I’ve considered myself somewhat progressive, as I don’t believe in law enforcement, national borders, or the right of Americans to exercise basic human autonomy. You seem to come from a very different place. I thought I didn’t agree with you at all! Boy was I wrong.
The other night I was looking on the Internet and saw a conversation with Bobby Kennedy, Jr. Not a word I disagree with. Not one! I turned to Montel and I said, “I was very wrong with this man. So, so very wrong. How to say. He is brave and wise and strong. He cannot move. Like a tall oak in a storm of wind, he moves slow but never broken. The trunk is big and rooted in the earth. I can’t imagine the size of her root ball!
So thank you. You have shown me something about myself and the world. I will never forget. Until we meet,
XOXO,
Kamala
