Tucker Carlson's college yearbook reveals he belonged to club for Harvey Milk's murderer ...

Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson listed himself as being part of the “Dan White Society” in his 1991 Trinity College yearbook, according to TheWrap. Dan White was the man who, in 1978, killed San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and city Supervisor Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official.

The entry also stated Carlson was a member of the Jesse Helms Foundation, named after the former North Carolina senator who vehemently opposed homosexuality and the integration of schools.

A representative for Trinity College confirmed the yearbook entry was real to TheWrap.

A Fox News representative did not return a request for comment by the time of publishing.

in the twisted world of right-wing awfulness. He also looked just as dorky then.

Kids do stupid shit all the time. I would hate for people to see some of what was written in my yearbook. HOWEVER, I can, with 100% certainty, say that I never belonged to any clubs or societies that promoted or celebrated the murder of gay people, segregation, and racism.

Also, in the years from high school to now, I would like to think that I have matured and grown as a person, and any dumb views that I may have had back then are now only looked upon with an amount of shame.

Carlson is basically the same stupid kid that he was back then. He has not grown at all. He still has the logic and mentality of a stupid snotty nosed rich teenager.

I'm not saying that, of course. No, no, but it's a question that needs to be investigated. People are talking, you know.

Belonged to the "John Hinckley Jr Fan Club". You know, because fan clubs for assassins are all good fun.
