Former Irish presidential election hopeful Gareth Sheridan has said a Christmas party at which he was pictured with controversial ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson was “not a political event”. The party was hosted by Alp Pouch, a nicotine pouch brand launched by Mr Carlson. There were also celebrities in attendance, including country rapper Jelly Roll, who posed for a picture alongside Mr Sheridan. Mr Carlson was one of Fox News’s biggest stars until he was fired in 2023. Mr Sheridan was unsuccessful in his bid to get on the presidential election ballot paper earlier this year.
