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.
