Former President Donald Trump hosted allies Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green at the Saudi-funded golf tournament he hosted at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort.
Footage posted on Twitter on Sunday by Alex Brusewitz, a conservative political consultant, of the three along with other members of the Trump family.
They seemed to enjoy the crowd chanting “come on Brandon,” a mocking slogan for President Joe Biden. Trump pumped his fist in time with the chant, and Green appeared to join in calling out the words.
Trump’s group included Don Jr. and his girlfriend Kim Guilfoyle, as well as Eric Trump.

Trump has drawn criticism for hosting the LIV tournament, including from the families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks, which have drawn attention to ties between Saudi officials and the 9/11 hijackers. Saudi Arabia has long denied any connection to the attacks.
There is now intense scrutiny over the Trump-backed company, with the former president backing alliances ahead of a widely expected announcement of a 2024 presidential bid.
Green is among Trump’s closest allies in Congress and is known for conspiracy theories and fierce defense of Trump’s MAGA program. In a recent interview, she said she would be “honored” to serve as Trump’s vice president as he prepares to launch a 2024 presidential bid.
Carlson, one of the highest-rated cable news anchors, has long supported Trump’s MAGA agenda. But in recent months, he has frequently featured on his show Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seen as a likely challenger to Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
