Danica Patrick reacts to a clip from American journalist Tucker Carlson's podcast

Danica Patrick gave her reaction to a clip from Tucker Carlson, which featured Catherine Austin Fitts talking about supposed underground infrastructure built by the United States government. The former IndyCar driver speculated that this is a genuine posibility given the history of the country.

Patrick has gotten into the world of conspiracy theories and politics in recent years, ever since her retirement in 2018. She has often praised journalist Carlson and has also lauded him as one of the reasons why she developed an interest in politics, even appearing on his show when he was still working at Fox News in early 2024.

On Monday (April 28), a clip from The Tucker Carlson Show was shared via Carlson's instagram account, in which former United States government official Catherine Austin Fitts discusses underground infrastructure built by the government in the country. Fitts worked as Assistant Secretary of Housing under President George H. W. Bush.

Danica Patrick reshared this clip on her instagram account on Monday and posed a question to her followers.

"Yep. Underground. What makes you think we haven't already done this in our ancient past?!"

She has shared her views via social media, speaking extensively especially on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement. The 43-year-old has also supported Trump's policy decisions and cabinet nominations since he returned to the presidency in early 2025.
