Carlson, who hosts his show on X now, is a leading voice in MAGA media and will be part of an overall entirely Trump-focused convention. His reported speaking slot has already stirred up strong reactions on social media.

The convention in Milwaukee runs from Monday, July 15 through Thursday, July 18, and will mark the third time in a row the GOP will be naming Donald Trump their presidential nominee.

Reportedly among the delegates are some of the individuals who were selected as “fake electors” in Trump’s unsuccessful scheme to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 election and remain in power.

During the convention, delegates will also approve the party’s platform, over some objections.
