Tucker Carlson: Will he be Fired?

[_Kevin Graham]

The answer is probably no simply because his racist, anti-women views are precisely why FOX News hired him in the first place.

First Media Matters released audio clips of him calling women primitive cunts.

And now here he goes full racist.

“If there were a Democrat to come out in the 2008 election and say, ‘You know what the problem is? It’s Islamic extremism. It’s not terror, it’s not some, you know, indefinable threat out there. It’s these lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals, and I’m going to kill as many of them as I can if you elect me.’ If a Democrat were to say that, he would be elected king, OK?”

“Yeah, but I think he’d need to say, “Look, I’m a bigot. OK, I’m a bigot. I don’t like Islamic extremists. Like if you are really heavily into Islam, I really ― I’m sorry, I just don’t ― I don’t care for you that much. And I don’t care what that sounds like. You can call me a racist. You can call me whatever the Screw you want.”

CO-HOST: So, basically we need a racist president. “We need to get these Mexicans out of here, and the Islam. Let’s kill all the Muslims.”

CARLSON: Well, I don’t think ―

CO-HOST: We need that.

CARLSON: I ― you know, I think that you’re onto something. I mean, not someone who’s like a Klansman or anything, but someone who’s totally unbound by PC rules, who will just say whatever the hell he wants.

"You know, someone who really will ― and everyone claims, “Oh, I say it like it is.” But nobody actually does. The guy who does, who says, “I’m unabashedly pro-American. “F” the French. Who cares what they think? The Belgians? They don’t like it, they can pound sand.” You know what I mean? That guy is going to get elected."


“If I didn’t like Canada, I wouldn’t consider it worth invading. I mean, Iraq is a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys ― that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.”

=================

On a teacher having sex with a 13-year-old student 28 times in one week (likely in reference to Rachel Holt, then 34, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison) in 2006:

"So my point is that teachers like this, not necessarily this one in particular, but they are doing a service to all 13-year-old girls by taking the pressure off. They are a pressure relief valve, like the kind you have on your furnace."

On then-Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan (now a justice) in 2010:

"I got to be honest with you. I don’t like [Kagan] and I wouldn’t vote to confirm her if I were a U.S. senator. But I do feel sorry for her in that way. I feel sorry for unattractive women. I mean it’s nothing they did. You know, she didn’t. Nobody deserves that. And men are just mean. ... No, it’s just absolutely fundamental ― physically, the problems with her are fundamental. She’s never going to be an attractive woman."

Referring to Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis as “extremely cunty” in 2006:

"She just does seem a little cunty. I mean you said it; I’m just agreeing with you. I don’t use that word because it’s offensive."

On the elimination of rape shield laws, meant to protect victims of sexual assault, in 2006:

"If I’m alleging rape, I have the protection of anonymity. I can say whatever I want while hiding behind anonymity, while the person I accused, whether he’s guilty or not, has his life destroyed. That’s totally unfair."

On women in general in 2007:

"I mean, I love women, but they’re extremely primitive, they’re basic, they’re not that hard to understand. And one of the things they hate more than anything is weakness in a man."

He's such a complete bungling idiot. Makes you wonder if his parents bribed his alma mater to get him in.

Did he say something nice about Rep. Omar? If not, he's good.

Sam Bee apologized. Tucker Carlson seems to have taken to heart the words of President Nixon's Press secretary, Ron Zigler: Contrition is BS.

Carlson was one of the people who got in on that sweet, sweet outrage over Samantha Bee. He claimed that he didn't know of any man who would dare use that language.

Carlson is the dishonest hypocrite you are looking for here, is what I'm saying.

I think it would be wise for Fox to give Jeanine Piro a breathalyzer test every day before she goes on the air.

I was wondering what took Doc so long to jump to Carlson's defense. Carlson's rabid bitching and moaning about men being falsely accused of things sounds a lot like Doc actually.

Doc likes to suggest FOX is the same as CNN and/or MSNBC, yet every time I ask him to produce parallels to the many examples I post he either ignores them or shows up later with some lame comment from a comedian who has nothing to do with either.

Tucker Carlson literally ran a segment on *Friday night* attacking Joe Biden for something he said in 1975, but yeah go off
