Fox News personality Tucker Carlson launched into a hateful rant during his show’s September 3 broadcast. In it, he used transgender rights to attack the Biden Administration and defended a new anti-abortion law in Texas.
Carlson began by attacking White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over an exchange with a reporter earlier in the week. The reporter questioned Biden’s support for abortion rights, as Biden is a practicing Catholic. Psaki fired back that Biden supports a woman’s right to choose despite his faith.
“I know you’ve never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant,” Psaki told the reporter.
That comment apparently set Carlson off, as he used the comment to begin attacking transgender people.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

“She should know that men can get pregnant now,” Carlson seethed, referring to a small minority of transgender men that opt to get pregnant. “The science people tell us that every day. It’s on the cover of magazines. I think it’s on the cover of People magazine right now, a dude who’s pregnant.”
For the record, a pregnant man does not appear on the cover of People this week. The magazine does feature an image of Lil Nas X off from his forthcoming album art which depicts him as pregnant. For the record, Lil Nas X is not pregnant.
“Now what does that mean?” Carlson continued. “It means that abortion is now a men’s issue. Men are child bearers. So men, dudes, have an equal right to choose to terminate their pregnancies, and they have a right to weigh in on the policy itself.”
“It’s not a women’s issue anymore, Jen Psaki,” Carlson added.
In the same segment, Carlson also equated anti-vaccine and anti-mask protesters with abortion supporters.
Tucker Carlson has a long history of attacking the LGBTQ community, with a specific disgust for transgender people. Last month, he labeled transgender people “satanic” in conversation with right-wing columnist Jason Whitlock. In May, he attacked the Biden Administration for supporting the rights of transgender children to medical treatment. In April, Carlson claimed transgender people threaten the future of humanity.

How funny if one of this dope’s kids comes out as gay or trans.
revjimbrooking
This low-life is a freak of the human race!!! A fine example of inbreeding!!

We all know his mother must regret not swallowing or getting an abortion.
This man has no shame at all

This is why abortion should stay legal – so there aren’t more tucker carlson’s born

Why all the hatred Tucker? You had a comfy upbringing, never wondered where your next meal was coming from. It must just be the buckets of money Fox pays you to spew your bile. Who cares who gets hurt right? You’re preaching to the choir and laughing all the way to the bank. Disgraceful is a kind way to describe the likes of you.
barryaksarben
You nailed it. Tucker is a pos entitled rich white kid who never had to miss a meal let alone more than one. When will these right to lifers start being concerned about the unwanted children their laws bring into this world? They are just right to birth not life

Tucker used to be sane. Go back and watch old episodes of Crossfire. Tucker was an acolyte of Robert Novak and Pat Buchanan when he was younger. Not sure just when he lost his way!!

CMath90606 Did you just say “sane” and Pat Buchanan in the same sentence? Buchanan is one of the most evil homophobes of all time. Remember what the late great Molly Irvine said about one of his speeches “sounds better in the original German.”

If there had only been an abortion option when Tucker Carlson’s mother was pregnant we might not have suffer his hate filled ill thought out babble.

His mother was the Swanson Foods heiress. She HAD plenty of options.

Americans have a very strange relationship with abortion looking in from the outside. As a person in the UK, although we are not perfect, at least a woman’s right to chose is respected by and large

The UK has far fewer Roman Catholics (70+ million Americans, or 25% of Americans), right-wing evangelical Christians (39.9 million, or 26.3%), Mormons (6.7 million, etc.), Jehovahs Witnesses, etc. and other Christian sects whose leaders are strongly anti-abortion. None of the four major UK parties (Tory, Labour, Liberal Democratic, Scottish National) has an anti-abortion platform, right? In the US the Republican Party also used to include both pro-choice (George H W Bush) and anti-abortion (George W Bush) politicians, but most elected Republicans now are publicly and extremely anti-abortion, no matter what they may do in their private lives.

And our Supreme Court is 2/3 Catholic. All the conservatives are or were raised Catholic (Gorsuch reportedly goes to an Episcopal church now). One liberal is Catholic and the other two liberals are Jewish. Not very balanced, but I’m sure that was NEVER in the Federalist Society’s plan.
barryaksarben
What a chidish stupid arguement he presents. It now a mens issue? No you pos it has always been a mens issue but they refuse to step up on so many of these abortions. I know you cant be serious you little twerp. I pity the women of this country who have to put up with boys like this . I dont know what will get people to stop voting for these vicious mean spirited republicans?
stonercharles
why is this even sadder excuse for human being than a Kardashian even on here????

Another example of why I don’t watch the show. I do appreciate Queerty’s right-wing watch though.
There should be more focus on how voter suppression (no doubt combined with voter apathy and lack of education) has allowed Texas – a state with the same demographic composition as California – to elect a state legislature and Governor that would enact such a backward law. It can’t just be Gerrymandering.

Fox News even admitted in court that no one with an ounce of common sense would not believe a word this m0ron Tucker says.

Yup. Tucker of Carlson….a-HUP. a-HUP…..In pure Red Foreman (Minnesota) inflection….”DUMBASS.”
BoomerMyles
Tucker needs to visit an open carry state and cross the path of a packing liberal.

gjg64, I think you mean the late, great Molly Ivins.

Tucker reminds of the “news anchor” in V for Vendetta; if a right wing reactionary government ever rises in the US, I can see Tucker being their chief propagandist.
It is both ironic and disturbing that this husk of a man is pretending to represent the aspirations of the working man while he inherited the majority of his undeserved wealth from mommy.

So, who here believes men can get pregnant and bear children?
gaym50ish
Trans men can, and have, carried children if they haven’t had their reproductive organs removed. But that’s rare. They have to stay off of their hormones temporarily while they’re pregnant.
radiooutmike
That’s rich!
Carlson saying, “It means that abortion is now a men’s issue…” It’s always been a men’s issue. Men wanting to control women, their bodies and their minds.
But no, before everyone realized transgender men could get pregnant, this past week; it was only a woman’s issue! Only women decided when the could have sex for procreation or for enjoyment and have the absolute right to terminate a pregnancy!

Oh, for those carefree times of two weeks ago!
