Tucker Carlson Claims Conservatives Are Being ‘Disappeared,’ Tries to Sic IRS on Media Matters
A night after defiantly declaring that he will not “bow to the mob” amid a firestorm of controversy over misogynistic and racist comments he made during appearances on shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge’s radio show from 2006 to 2011, top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that he is the victim of a left-wing authoritarian conspiracy to “disappear” anyone with “dissenting political opinions.”
Carlson, who was heard defending statutory rape, calling women “extremely primitive,” and describing Iraqis as “semiliterate primitive monkeys” in the old audio recirculated earlier this week, began Tuesday night’s broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight as he so often does: by playing the victim.
The Fox News host went all out in portraying the backlash against him as part of a leftist plot, at one point even appearing to invoke the Holocaust and likening social media bans of conservatives to enforced disappearances.
