Right-wing Fox News pundit and professional furrowed brow Tucker Carlson stoops to new lows as often as we empty the garbage, which is now once again overflowing since his latest comments about mask wearing are complete trash.
During a segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson voiced his concern about children wearing masks while outside playing. In his mind, children in protective masks is tantamount to child abuse.

“Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different than your response if you see someone beating a kid at Walmart,” he told his viewers. “Call the police immediately, call Child Protective Services, keep calling until someone arrives — what you’re looking at is abuse.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Out Pennsylvania lawmaker Brian Sims said it best:
“ALL TUCKERED OUT,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “Last night the rotting spider bodies and decrepit pieces of festering rat boils that combine nightly into the form of Tucker Carlson began to break apart into their component pieces, live on TV like an industrial sewage factory full of fire crackers.”

We never realized Sims was such a poet.
And while nothing could possibly top that, here’s what other folks are saying:
Good morning to everyone except Tucker Carlson.

Not the most important thing, but maybe people—including those who knew or know him—should stop referring to Tucker Carlson as “Tucker,” as if he’s a friendly acquaintance. “Carlson” will do. Like “Riefenstahl.”

I hope the first person who gets called into CPS for their kid wearing a mask Sues the person reporting, Sues Fox News and Sues Tucker Carlson personally. https://t.co/voWj7vjZ7z

Somewhere in DoD, a senior leader sits wondering why vaccine acceptance rates are so low while Tucker Carlson drones on a big flat screen in the background.

“Parents making their kids wear masks is child abuse!” said Tucker Carlson who basically said statutory rape is cool as long as you keep the girl as your sex slave forever.

think some in media are invested in alternate explanations for tucker carlson bc the obvious — that he believes what he says — would cut at their belief that ppl who are Smart or have Elite Media Pedigree cannot knowingly traffic bigotry or disinfo…they ~must be acting

Mister P
Once again someone on the right claiming the moral high ground when in reality they don’t care about kids one bit.
jcool
i truly believe that tuck wakes up every morning and wonders what outrageous lie he should say that day for attention
tjack47
He is insinuating that people who shop at Walmart abuse their children, yet it’s where his target audience shops. Children wearing masks wasn’t simply for the safety of the kids but multigenerational families. I imagine the statics are rare, but the rebound disease/syndrome some of these children who get COVID-19 is horrifying. He’s an idiot.
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Not that i can stomach too much TC it is asinine to be wearing masks outside
RosemarysBaby
Yeah, because why do everything you can do to possibly save another human being’s life? (Even if it’s something as simple and painless as putting a mask over your big mouth.)
mailliw110
The fact that you can stomach ANY TC says a lot about you.
barryaksarben
ANYONE who does as he says should thank GOD my dad is dead because he once clocked a guy who tried to tell him how to raise his children back in the 70s. too bad my dad didnt meet Tucker
gruffbear
Always funny how it’s their personal choice not to wear a mask, but they have a problem when someone else’s personal choice is to wear one.
Fahd
I don’t need to read about it every time Tucker farts. I don’t watch his show for a reason.
mailliw110
OK, so next time you see his name in the HEADLINE………..Take a clue, dude.
Toofie
So waste police time with this nonsense? What a joke this moron is.

There’s something about the level of anger and hyperbole that makes me think Carlson is afraid of something….he’s trying to be louder, more disruptive, and illogical to get people to notice him. He’s Brett Kavanaugh without….beer or something.

Oh, and btw, Brian Simms brings the visuals to the pus sac that is Carlson.

Let’s ban every Fox host w/ a neon orange spray tan. Does Carlson realize how ridiculous he looks?
whatsaywhat
He’s a man-child Trinity douchebag. Looking ridiculous is kinda their thing.
Heywood Jablowme
1) I’d have guessed Tucker was totally in favor of parents beating their kids in Walmart.
2) “Call the police”? But what if the police are crying and whining because of the Derek Chauvin verdict? Or just too busy playing cards?
Chip
Carlson basically got permission from a judge to say anything he wants without repercussions. The no reasonable person blah blah give him a defense that has already been adjudicated as lawful.
So anyone that might get hurt or confronted because Carlson told them to Carlson won’t face any repercussions.
cuteguy
Didn’t Fox News get sued for being fake news and wasn’t their response that nobody with common sense would believe this moron Tucker? Why is he even still on air? Even Hitler had a gullible audience and look how that turned out
