Fox News’ Tucker Carlson railed against former House staffer Evan McMullin Friday night as a “liberal Democrat” masquerading in a red state Senate race as an independent.

McMullin is running as a self-professed independent, despite running with the complete endorsement of the Democratic Party while his campaign doles out $1.6 million
