He gets no credit when he finally comes around to kinda-sorta, off-handedly, more-or-less-fucking-up-in-reverse, "acknowledging" that Cult45 is actually a fantasy delusion club playing their little Alt-Reality Game (see Rabbit Rabbit at Medium).

Tucker Carlson bashes Trump attorney Sidney Powell for lack of evidence in fraud claims:
‘She never sent us any’
As Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted on Thursday night, he’s more than willing to give airtime to outlandish claims. “We literally do UFO segments,” he said.
But even Carlson said he was fed up with the total lack of evidence produced by Sidney Powell, one of the Trump campaign’s attorneys, for her unfounded allegation that electronic voting systems had switched millions of ballots to favor President-elect Joe Biden.
“We invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour,” Carlson said. “But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests. Not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.”
Carlson also noted: “She never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.”

It goes on like that for a while, but the real tell is Carlson's subliminal admission that his hour on DumFux News is all show and no substance.
In court not long ago, Fox lawyers were defending Carlson and the network in a defamation case brought by a woman who was slandered on air. The defense told the court that the claims had no basis because everybody knows The Tucker Carlson Show is strictly entertainment, and no one should take anything said on that show as fact.
When a fantasy show calls bullshit, we should be able to dismiss it all and get on with living our lives like normal people.
But we can't - because the fantasy is the point. If you stop making shit up, then you can't keep the game going.
BTW - at the risk of repeating myself, I've stopped called it "conspiracy theory" because the word 'theory' implies there's reason to consider the hypothesis. There is no such reason for most of the shit being peddled by the cultists on "the right" - particularly on Tucker Carlson's show.
It's delusional, and I can't see my way clear to give any of it any dignity or the slightest inkling of gravitas. It's just all bullshit.
