Tucker Carlson Cries About ‘Twitter Mob’ Just as New Clip Surfaces With Him Calling Iraqis ‘Monkeys’ and Worse
As Tucker Carlson opened his Monday night show program by addressing the misogynistic remarks he made on shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge’s show between 2006 and 2011, left-wing media watchdog Media Matters for America released additional audio of the Fox News star making racist and xenophobic comments.
After Media Matters posted clips Sunday of Carlson calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “the biggest white whores in America,” describing women as “extremely primitive” and talking about sex with underage girls, the host Monday called it a “bewildering moment” to be bombarded by the “Twitter mob,” since, he said, “it’s pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest, or taken out of context, or in any case bear no resemblance to what you actually think, or would want for the country.”
