Fox News coworkers are reportedly calling prime time host Tucker Carlson a “trash human being” for his increasingly strange and offensive on-air personality and antics, like referring to Barack Obama as a “creepy old guy” (because took to TikTok to encourage young people to get the COVID vaccine) to claiming that smoking marijuana lowers sperm counts.
Strangely, Carlson seems to have recently become obsessed with MSNBC host Joy Reid, as reported by Media Matters:

On April 28, he mocked Reid for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, saying, “Well, Joy-Ann Reid, the race lady over at MSNBC, took a quick break from haraguing whitey yesterday to reveal something deeply personal about herself on television” … The day prior, he mischaracterized comments she made about vaccine hesitancy… twice referred to her as “the race lady” … On April 22, Carlson somehow twisted Reid’s comments on the death of Ma’Khia Bryant into an attack on white people, referring to her as “the race lady” and saying she’s lived “an unusually privileged life” … And on March 8, he twice called Reid “the race lady.”

This week, Reid did not hold back in her response, saying “I prefer my news and information to be based in reality, rather than monetizing my amygdala to keep me on edge and buying My Pillows and gold,” and adding that she appreciates websites like Media Matters, which “watch Fox News so you don’t have to.”
She continued by mocking how his failed MSNBC stint “didn’t work out” and how “Jon Stewart kinda humiliated you” on CNN.

“Did he say Whitey? Oh, honey, honey, Tuckums. I don’t know, maybe I’m sensitive to this stuff, but it felt like kinda like a dog whistle. Did you want to go to Harvard? Did they reject you?”
Reid continued her all out verbal assault on Carlson by noting “You got all that Swanson money, right? Fish sticks for everybody, woo,” and then referred to him as “Lil’ Tucker” and accused him of being like “some segregationist housewife from the 1950s” who is “spouting conspiracy theories that white people will be replaced by a Democratic Party conspiracy to import non-white people to outnumber them.”

Reid finally concluded by noting that Tucker was guilty of “making America worse” and being the reason why she continues to wear masks in public, which he mocked, and explained why masks are still needed in this country because of the “endless Covid hell that the Tuckers of our country are keeping us in.”
Carlson has been in the headlines for numerous reasons in recent weeks, like when he compared wearing masks after receiving a vaccination to exposing oneself in public. In the same segment, Carslon encouraged viewers to call the police or child protective services on parents whose children are wearing masks in public.

More Tucker Carlson headlines recently have come from his continued blatantly racist on-air rants as well, like his complete and total live meltdown over the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin case:
“The jury in the Derek Chauvin trial came to a unanimous and unequivocal verdict this afternoon: Please don’t hurt us.”

Carlson continued:
“The jury spoke for many in this country. Everyone understood perfectly well the consequences of an acquittal in this case. After nearly a year of burning and looting and murder by [the Black Lives Matter movement], that was never in doubt.”

Carlson then went after President Joe Biden, who on the day before the verdict commented on the “overwhelming” evidence against Chauvin, adding that he “wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered.”
Carlson was incensed by this statement:
“When was the last time a sitting president weighed in on a jury decision before it was made? Answer: never.”

Of course, Carlson would fail to mention that the actual answer to that question is “2018,” when then President Donald Trump offered his thoughts on the trial of Paul Manafort while the jury was in the middle of deliberations, saying “I think it’s very sad what they’ve done to Paul Manafort.”
Carlson kept digging, searching for anyone who would agree with him.

“Who’s going to become a cop going forward, do you think?” Carlson asked former New York City law enforcement official Ed Gavin.
Gavin’s answer visibly surprised the incredulous Carlson:
“Well, I think people will still become police officers. This really is a learning experience for everyone. Let’s face it, what we saw in that video was pure savagery.”

And then, when Gavin suggested some reforms to policing, Carlson cut him off:
“How about enforce the law? Do we need to do that? So hold on, wait a second. So, wait, slow down. Do we enforce the law? Like let’s say, people are going through the windows in Macy’s and the cops are just standing there, do they resign?”
When Gavin tried to answer, Carlson cut him off again, this time clearly angry that the former police officer would dare disagree with him on his own show, adding a simple “Nope. Done.”
