Tucker Carlson’s latest idiocy on masks is dangerous and hypocritical even by his usual standards
< < Go Back
I took a walk to Central Park on Monday, and on the way, I noticed a toddler being wheeled in a stroller, wearing what looked like a cotton, homemade mask. The mask was pink with white flowers, and fit the tiny face well.
The child was peacefully asleep, lulled by the motion and the spring breezes.
Here’s what I didn’t do: Pull out my phone and call 911 to report a blatant case of child abuse. But, if you take Fox News host Tucker Carlson seriously — which, like all sentient beings, I certainly do not — that’s what was called for.
It was later that same day that Carlson launched into his latest piece of performative nonsense on his prime-time show, inveighing against the supposed tyranny of mask-wearing.
Requiring children to wear masks outside should be illegal, he insisted, and must be fought against.
