Tucker Carlson faces backlash after calling Black Capitol Police officer "angry" activist

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is facing backlash after attacking a Black Capitol Police officer who said he was called the n-word while defending the Capitol during the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection.

Driving the news: Carlson on his show Wednesday called Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn an "angry left-wing political activist" who "has very little in common with your average cop."

Dunn, a vocal advocate for a congressional investigation into the the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, previously told the Washington Post that Black officers endured additional attacks during the insurrection, saying he was called the n-word more than a dozen times.

What they're saying: "Tonight Fox News allowed its host Tucker Carlson, who has not served a day in uniform, whether military or law enforcement, to criticize the heroism and service of African-American U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn," the officer's attorneys said in a statement late Wednesday.

Better to be thought of as a dumbass Tucker than to open your mouth and prove it.

1. Yeah, I couldn't just call him an activist cop or something.

He made sure to use that code word angry activist. He just omitted the "black" part. Not all cops are equal in Tuckums mind.

2. I hope, that when asked, Harry Dunn says.....

"Does anybody still even listen to what that little Tucker says? I sure don't give a Tuck."

3. I was talking to one of my coworkers

Yesterday. One of our good friends went to school with Tucker and really knew him. His girlfriend and Tucker’s wife shared an apt. Tucker is actually really smart and witty , however he is just an asshole. I did mention that Tucker needs to get his ass kicked.
