A former top reporter for Fox News is now going to war with Tucker Carlson, suggesting the highest-rated host at the popular network could end up in jail or "something worse" for what is aired on his program.

Carl Cameron, one-time chief political correspondent who left the Fox News Channel in 2017, was interviewed Saturday by Jim Acosta of CNN, and compared what Carlson airs on his show to falsely crying fire in a crowded movie theater.

"The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theater, cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse."

Cameron even called on Joe Biden to take action against Carlson and those online who are likeminded.

"The president has to be more forceful and sooner or later the law enforcement and the U.S. government is going to have to stop the lying because it's causing people's deaths," he indicated.

"It's not just Fox, it's social media in general. It's on the internet. And we have to remember that a good portion of what we read is coming from folks who aren't Americans, pretending to be Americans in order to gaslight them even worse." WATCH:

Cameron's remarks echoed what he told MSNBC's Nicole Wallace on May 17 when the two were discussing the aftermath of mass shootings.

"What happens at Fox News when something like this happens?" Wallace asked Cameron.

"I can't even imagine. It's partly why I ended up gettin' out of there," Cameron responded.

"It really is kind of horrible to think that journalists with national and international capacity are putting together this type of nonsense.

"I think the president did a great job. I wish he had done a lot of this a lot sooner, and we need a lot more from the left and the middle, and we got to watch out because the Republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation, and when our two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble.

"The president acknowledged that it's time to actually start doing things and maybe taking some names and putting people in jail."

In the wake of Cameron's CNN interview Saturday, some online reaction included:

• "If the police should stop people from lying then they should start with Carl Cameron."
• "Didn't Jim and the left push Russian collision for 4 years?"
• "CNN needs to jailed "
• "I love these Leftists praising the Constitution in one breath, then saying government needs to crush free speech in the next breath."
• "Nice propaganda piece here. They never specifically said what he was lying about."
• "Who are these two Nimrods?"
• "I expect the comments to be disabled after people calling out CNNs bullsh**."
