Kevin Spacey used his long-discarded “House of Cards” character to deliver a strange, sinister message on Christmas Eve and spark a fictional presidential race.
The embattled Spacey, who played a devious politician who eliminated his enemies by any means necessary, hinted that he had been eyeing a possible 2024 run in a rare interview with Tucker Carlson.
“I’ve always believed that nothing should be ruled out in life or art,” Spacey ominously told Tucker Carlson in his character’s Southern lilt.
“I think we could both agree that we need to get some adults back in the room. So if that means taking on the role of CEO, well, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for this great nation,” he added.
Spacey was reigniting his strange tradition of posting cryptic videos on Christmas Eve. His character didn’t seem to think it was too late to throw himself into the ring.
“I think there is time. “I’ve never been afraid of being a little late to the dance,” she continued, later crudely describing running for president as “jumping in the hot tub with a boner.”

Spacey starred in the hit Netflix show as Frank Underwood, a cunning and cunning Democrat who rose from House Majority Whip to President by deploying ruthless tactics that sometimes involved assassinating his adversaries.
The New Jersey-born actor was subsequently fired from his role in the sixth and final season that aired in 2018 after multiple sexual assault allegations against him came to light.
Spacey has denied some of the allegations against him and over the summer a London jury acquitted him of sexually assaulting four men.
During the crazy interview with Carlson, the scandal-plagued actor wished viewers a Merry Christmas, but his Christmas took a white Christmas in a very different direction.
“The truth is, there’s nothing I like more on this day than pulling a line, drinking whiskey and Coke, hitting a reindeer with my car and wishing everyone the naughtiest Christmas ever,” he said nonchalantly about your Christmas plans. .
He had recorded similar attention-grabbing videos for Christmas Eve between 2018 and 2020.
Carlson, who was ousted from Fox News in April, sometimes seemed unsure who he was talking to, asking, “Is this like an episode or is it real?”
“Well, it’s probably a little bit of both,” Spacey responded cryptically.

“I mean, Tucker, what’s true and what’s false? What is life? What is the art? That is real? What is performance? I love when these things intersect because then it becomes interesting.”
At one point, Spacey put Carlson on the spot, pointing out that he would need a vice president.
“What role do you want to play? I mean, if I run, I’m going to need a vice president,” Spacey said.
“I’ll fall asleep,” Carlson said without missing a beat. He has faced some rumors about being Donald Trump’s chosen running mate in 2024.
Appearing to stay in character, Spacey joked that he would probably be independent if he hypothetically set up a career.

“I have always been an independent my entire life, regardless of my party affiliation, although at this time I do not recognize my former party,” he said.
Underwood was a Democrat on the show and hinted that he would restore order as president.
“We are too close to having a beanbag chair in the Oval Office. We spoil everyone,” she lamented.
“Do you think you’re a rabbit? Alright. But let me tell you something. You sure aren’t going to see someone walking around my White House with bunny ears and a tail unless it’s Easter,” she added, referring to some of the unique figures who have ventured near the executive mansion.
When asked how the nation got to this place, Spacey responded, “Fear, fear, and then some more fear.”
Spacey, with his Underwood facade, seemed dissatisfied with the current slew of candidates vying for the presidency. The Republican presidential primary will hold its first contest: the Iowa caucuses on January 15, 2024.

“I like Vivek, draining the Ramaswamy. And Nikki Haley is tough, she certainly learned a thing or two from watching me,” Spacey said when asked about the 2024 contenders.
“I think, in the end, we need someone in the White House who is not afraid, like me, who is not afraid to push our country or a journalist in the right direction if it comes down to it,” he added, referring to how Underwood pressed a reporter. until his death in the DC subway.
Since his ouster from Fox News, Carlson has launched a show on X and the subscription service Tucker Carlson Network.
Over the past few months, he has interviewed a number of controversial figures such as Andrew Tate, Alex Jones, Martin Shkreli and more.
