Tucker Carlson Clueless on Child Abuse!!

Here's a report on Tucker Carlson's pathetic advice on child abuse:



"Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beating a kid at a Wal-Mart,” Carlson said in a Monday night segment. “Call the police immediately. Contact Child Protective Services."



Tucker. I have one thing to say. Are you serious?

That is all you have to say?

Way too kind

Carlson is advocating for misusing the child welfare system as a political tool, wasting resources on something that would not be considered abuse in any jurisdiction, pandemic or not.

He is equating physical abuse (actual beating) with the decision that parent's make to reduce the risk of spreading, not only COVID-19, but many other airborne pathogens like the flu or the common cold, while out in public.

Carlson is NOT serious. I am sure that he and his entire family is vaccinated. If Carlson was serious, then you could at least have some kind of pity for him given that he might be suffering some kind of emotional breakdown. But he isn't. He is calculating that at least some of his stupid followers will oblige him so that he can revel in the chaos that ensues all while hiding behind the, "It was just hyperbole, can't you take a joke?"

He is a disgusting jerk who needs to stripped of his platform.

...pathetic and disgusting.

If he is just saying it to rile up his ignorant, gullible viewers, then he is evil.
