Cuomo threatens N.Y. lawmaker over nursing home criticism\">multiple news outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The letter then declared that Carlson, who was let go by Fox News in late April, \u201cwill not run for President in 2024 under any circumstances, and therefore your misrepresentations are damaging to Mr. Carlson and defrauding his supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you do not immediately cease and desist your efforts to solicit money to \u2018draft\u2019 Mr. Carlson, we will use every legal means at our disposal to vindicate his rights and protect his supporters from these misrepresentations,\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n<h3>Draft Tucker PAC Ceases Activities After Legal Threat from Carlson<\/h3>\n<p>The letter was sent to the PAC\u2019s executive director Charlie Kolean, a longtime Republican consultant, and other officials within the organization. It claimed the PAC is fraudulently using Carlson to fundraise and potentially collect data for users.<\/p>\n<p>After the letter was sent, the Draft Tucker PAC told news outlets that it asked Newsmax to pull the \u201cDraft Tucker PAC\u201d commercials that are currently running on the channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTucker\u2019s attorney has contacted us to let us know that Tucker is not a candidate for president nor has any intentions of running and asked us to cease all activities on his behalf. We are going to honor that request,\u201d Kolean said in a statement to The Hill.<\/p>\n<h3>PAC Raised $212 So Far<\/h3>\n<p>Chris Ekstrom, the PAC\u2019s chairman, told the outlet that the PAC raised about $212 so far and that he put in $35,000 of his own cash into the effort. He said that the $212 will be given to a charity or back to the donors.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement, Ekstrom appeared to criticize Dhillon and said she is a \u201cridiculous Wanna Be Failed Politician &#038; TV lawyer,\u201d adding she is a \u201cfailed politician that wouldn\u2019t know or understand a good political move unless it\u2019s the immediate gratification of grandstanding for fools &#038; know-nothings on Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dhillon had attempted to unseat Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel earlier this year but came up short.
