Donald Trump’s stooge Tucker Carlson goes completely off the deep end
As Donald Trump continues to unravel, even Fox News has begun – ahem – social distancing itself from him. Daytime and weekend hosts on Fox are just as likely to take a swipe at Trump as they are to lie on his behalf, and now Fox has cut ties with Trump apologists Diamond and Silk. But then there’s Tucker Carlson, who’s still taking on water for Trump.
Tucker Carlson delivered message tonight that wasn’t just deranged, it was barely human. Fortunately, Congressman Ted Lieu was there to call him on the carpet:
The family members of the over 56,000 Americans who died from #COVID19 in less than two months would disagree with @TuckerCarlson. And the current case fatality rate in the US is over 5.6%.
Simply unacceptable that @FoxNews keeps ignoring science and downplaying the virus. https://t.co/HO9ZiZuIaq
