What is terribly, terribly wrong with Tucker Carlson, one of Fox News's Jerry Springeresque premiere entertainment host: Since late 2018, dozens of companies have stopped airing...

Since late 2018, dozens of companies have stopped airing advertisements during his show.

Here are the biggest controversies Tucker Carlson has been involved in, to name a few. (#3 is the worst.)

1. In December 2018, Carlson caused perhaps the biggest waves yet when he said immigrants would make the country "poorer and dirtier." At least 34 advertisers cut ties with Carlson's show in the months after his comments, including iHop, Red Lobster, and Samsung. Instead of apologizing, Carlson stood behind his comments and deemed the backlash an attack on free speech. How is someone voicing a disagreement not also free speech?

2. A series of tapes that were leaked in March 2019 contain some shocking comments that Carlson allegedly made while calling into the shock-jock radio program "Bubba the Love Sponge" from 2006 to 2011. Carlson can be heard contesting the prosecution of former polygamist cult leader Warren Jeffs, who was later convicted for child sexual abuse. The tapes also contained several different belittling comments about women, including Carlson saying he wouldn't have v**ed to confirm Supreme Court Elena Kagan because he didn't find her attractive, in addition to saying women are "extremely primitive" and "just need to be quiet." Carlson refused to apologize, saying he was "caught" saying "something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago." How does saying it a decade ago change its misogynistic content?

3. In August, a few days after a mass shooting the FBI said was linked to a r****t manifesto, Carlson described w***e s*******y in the US as a "h**x." He said like the "Russia h**x," w***e s*******y was a conspiracy used to divide the US, and keep a hold on power. "It's actually not a real problem in America," he told his viewers.

A) This so wrong and dangerous on so many levels, as well as either dumb or blind. What was Charlottesville? A confessed W***e S*********t k**led someone protesting the rally.

B) The Russian interference with our E******n Process is proven, not a h**x. (And it was not the wild conspiracy theory that the Ukraine was to blame.)

C) Undermining the FBI again by saying the mass shooting was not linked to a r****t manifesto but was a "h**x": catchword of the GOP this year for all things negative against them.

4. Just recently, on air, he said that he rooted for Russia over the democracy of the Ukraine. 45 minutes later, no doubt after many calls of objections, he said he was kidding.

Wasn't his show in third place for ratings that year?

Didn't say immigrants...

Leaked tapes... Allegedly... Please...

I'm betting the context was humorous...

Have you ever heard the way he talks about his wife and daughters?

Correct...

Muslim shot up a club in Florida...Muslim problem?

Nut job Sander's supporter shot up a congressional baseball game....Bernie problem?

There are some few w***e s*********t i***ts out there... It's not an epidemic ..

Proven?

Remind me which government agency examined the evidence...

In any case... The Russian h**x that Tucker referred to is the one where there was collision between Trump and Putin...

So people are free to disagree with Tucker...But he had better not disagree back...

He didn't call the shooting a h**x... He called the fear mongering a h**x.... Which it is...

Russia is a democracy as well...
Why can't he have an opinion?

My take away from this thread is that by disagreeing with certain premises and supporting certain platforms Tucker has earned your ire....

I like the guy...
Have you ever watched his show?

I suggest that you come out of your man-cave somewhere far from civilization and listen to the news. For instance, 13 American Intelligence Communities proved Russia interfered in our E******n. Other Intelligence Offices in Europe confirmed.

Of course he has earned my ire, lol, he is a dirt bag. The no shame level for the Right is way over their heads...and they keep trying to reach it, like Carlson. And Hannity. These men will be remembered in History as part of the Trump cabal to destroy America. Okay a bit drama-queen until the ruination by the Right finally exposes itself, yet true nonetheless. Damn I wish I could live just another year.

Wait! What’s this? Rep. Nunes is about to sue CNN and The Daily Beast for lying about him!

Might cost the C*******t News Network hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars!

Just need to refute one thing for all to topple: "Didn't say immigrants...Said i******s...He's not wrong..." He said immigrants would make the country "poorer and dirtier." Please read the black and white.

Those same intelligence agencies convinced president Bush that Saddam Hussein had tons of WMDs and was working on obtaining nukes. Look how that turned out.

You have been in the basement storage locker long past your "use-by" date, rumi, you're too freaking old to be worried about the future of America.

How did they prove it?

I thought they relied on the findings of a private company?

He’s a dirt bag is he? And just what does your constant spewing about the right indicate? You are again demonizing millions of people you don’t know a thing about and its all because you h**e Trump. What does that say about YOU?

Lol, what? I say Carlson is a dirt bag, one person, and that is somehow "demonizing millions of people I don’t know a thing about"? I have had a few threads and a number of comments that praised people on the Right, even yearned to be immersed in their straightforward look at the issues in America. I am not a h**er; calling me that diminishes to nearly zero for supporters the magnitude of Trump's lies and failures and effect on the psyche of this country. Get over it! He is a scumbag and bringing this country down out of insatiable greed and Ego. When that finally comes to light for you, know that it was only a sincere mistake.
