‘Didn’t Expect You To Be The Smartest Professional Athlete’: Danica Patrick Tells Tucker Why Some Are ‘Very Triggered’

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick told Tucker Carlson in an interview released Sunday why people are “very triggered” about presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Patrick shared her perspective on Trump with Carlson, prompting the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) founder to refer to the former female racecar driver as “the smartest professional athlete.”

“Have you been attacked?” Carlson asked. “You said you were attacked online.”

“Yeah. Well, I was super surprised by how it went when I went to the Turning Point event and when I talked about loving my country and posting these pictures. I went with my sister and it was just a fun few days, and I was just really surprised that people could be so angry about — and I didn’t even make a stance. I think everybody thinks it’s basically a Trump rally,” Patrick told Carlson.
