Tucker Carlson Condemned After Urging Viewers To Harass Strangers Wearing Masks
People on social media condemned Tucker Carlson for inciting lawbreaking after he encouraged his Fox News viewers to harass strangers for wearing masks to limit the spread of COVID-19.
During “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the host told his prime-time audience to ask people wearing masks outside to remove them. He also said people should call the police or child protective services if they see children wearing masks outdoors, calling it “child abuse.”
Carlson, amping up his falsehoods about coronavirus precautions and vaccinations, ignored government guidance that children older than 2 who can safely do so should continue to wear masks in public settings and falsely suggested masks deprive children of oxygen.
The cable TV personality has been criticized throughout the pandemic for purveying dangerous misinformation about COVID-19, and faced fierce backlash on social media over his latest comments. He was accused of inciting harassment and potential violence against both adults and children, encouraging people to abuse the 911 and child services systems, and spreading demonstrably false information about preventing the spread of the virus.Straight out of the asses mouth to the Fox News asses..
