Opinion: Tucker Carlson needs to go. Now.
By Max Boot Max Boot Columnist covering national security Email Bio Follow Columnist March 12 at 3:55 PM Fox News is the most-watched cable network in the United States. Breitbart News is the 134th most-popular news site on the Internet, and has become notorious as a platform for the alt-right. Yet Breitbart seems to have higher standards than Fox News.
During other interviews on the same show, Carlson used the c-word to refer to the daughter of Martha Stewart, called Arianna Huffington a “pig,” and said women are “extremely primitive” beings who “just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told.” Apparently the “c-word” is a common part of Carlson’s vocabulary; former Salon editor in chief Joan Walsh writes that he once used it when speaking about her to a Salon intern.
Oh, and Carlson also disparaged President Barack Obama in a racist fashion ; said that “everyone’s embarrassed to be a white man” even though “white men” deserve credit for “creating civilization and stuff”; and called efforts to increase diversity in radio programming “worse than Jim Crow.” Sigh, there’s plenty of homophobia, too.
