Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson has interviewed a 61-year-old man who allegedly had sexual relations with former President Barack Obama more than two decades ago.
During the 42-minute interview posted on X, Carlson interviewed Obama critic Larry Sinclair, claiming that he had a “night of crack cocaine-fueled sex with Barack Obama, and that Obama came back for more the next day.”
Larry Sinclair, the man who claimed to have sex with Obama in 1999 publishes a video ahead of his bombshell interview with Tucker Carlson:

“Assess for yourself,” Carlson captioned the video, which has amassed nearly 35.6 million views as of Thursday.
Sinclair made the claim 15 years ago when he first said that he met Obama back when he was still a senator for Illinois in 1999.
“I was in Chicago looking for a party…. I gave Barack $250 to pay for coke and start putting a line on a CD tray, and just snort,” he said, adding that it was “definitely not Barack’s first time” to have sexual relationships with the same-sex.
According to Politico, however, the man has a fraudulent history. In February 2008, Sinclair, after making a series of scandalous public accusations against then-Democratic presidential candidate Obama, failed a polygraph test to prove his claims.
Sinclair has also served time in jail multiple times since the 1980s. His first run-in with the authorities included a larceny charge in Denver, Colorado, in 1981. According to Sinclair’s arrest records, he was found guilty of larceny and forging a check in Florida in 1985 and received a one-year sentence.
“If you look my criminal history up — which I’ve published myself, provided from day one — my criminal history goes from 1980 to 1986. And everything I’ve ever done, I’ve owned it,” Sinclair told Carlson. “Any sentence I’ve ever been given I’ve served.”
The interview was met with criticism on social media, particularly from X owner Elon Musk, who called out Carlson for not providing “objective evidence” by allowing a convicted fraudster to claim he had sex with Obama.
“Of course, the probability that his claims are true would have to rest on objective evidence, rather than claims made by someone with a dubious history,” Musk posted on his website.
“Tucker Carlson and his kind are still angry Barack Obama is first Black US president,” author, lawyer and activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu also said in response to the interview.
