How many lines does Tuckles get to cross before he goes too far?




“The rest of us should be snorting at them first. They’re the aggressors. It’s our job to brush them back and restore the society we were born in,” he said. “So the next time you see someone in a mask on the sidewalk or on the bike path, do not hesitate. Ask politely but firmly, ‘Would you please take off your mask? Science shows there is no reason for you to be wearing it. Your mask is making me uncomfortable.’”

He added: “We should do that and we should keep doing it until wearing a mask outside is roughly as socially accepted as lighting a Marlboro on an elevator. It’s repulsive. Don’t do it around other people. That’s the message we should send because it’s true.”

Carlson then took it several steps further by urging his viewers to take far more drastic measures if they see children wearing masks. “As for forcing children to wear masks outside, that should be illegal,” the Fox News star huffed. “Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Walmart. Call the police immediately. Contact Child Protective Services. Keep calling until someone arrives. What you’re looking at is abuse, it’s child abuse, and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it.”

He's an asshole, and an idiot, but he didn't incite violence (in a way you can prove).

Justice matters.

@FBI
....asking strangers to harass & call police against a parent for protecting themselves and their children, and falsely accusing them of abuse would seem like a crime. Not only should
@FoxNews
pull him off the air, he should be arrested. Please do that about 4 am this morning

as a way of protecting him if advertisers start to leave again. They'll threaten to make it a story every hour, just like the disgraced elected repubs are threatening corporations that have the temerity to object to voter suppression. We have to hope the advertisers have spines of steel and we can counteract their threats.

The CDC is very likely to announce changes today to their guidance on wearing masks outside. Now he gets to pretend that he influenced the decision.
