Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has his followers on X (formerly Twitter) in stitches Wednesday with his response to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s recent social media post.

Harris had shared an image of a handwritten letter allegedly from a conservative named Tucker, expressing support for “President Biden’s efforts to establish common sense gun safety laws.”
“Tucker, thank you for writing to me,” Harris responded on social media.
“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.”

Carlson, known for his opposition to stricter gun control measures, quickly dismissed the notion that he had authored any letter to Harris’ campaign — and instead revealed his own handwritten letter from a fan named, “Kamala.”
The satirical “letter” read —
I can’t believe I’m writing you this letter, but here goes. Honestly, I never thought we had all that much in common. 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 other night I was looking at the internet and saw your conversation with Bobby Kennedy, Jr. There wasn’t a word I disagreed with. Not one! I turned to Montel and I said, ‘I was very wrong about this man. So, so very wrong. The way he talks He’s so bold and wire and strong. He’s immovable. Like a towering oak tree in a wind storm, he sways gently but never breaks. His trunk is so broad and firm and rooted to the Earth. I can’t imagine the size of his root ball.’ I was so impressed!
So thank you. You’ve shown me something about myself, and about the world. I will never forget it.
Until we meet,
OXOXO,
Kamala.
