Tucker Carlson Cries About 'Twitter Mob' Just as New Clip Surfaces With Him Calling Iraqis 'Monkeys'

As Tucker Carlson opened his Monday night show program by addressing the misogynistic remarks he made on shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge’s show between 2006 and 2011, left-wing media watchdog Media Matters for America released additional audio of the Fox News star making racist and xenophobic comments.

After Media Matters posted clips Sunday of Carlson calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “the biggest white whores in America,” describing women as “extremely primitive” and talking about sex with underage girls, the host Monday called it a “bewildering moment” to be bombarded by the “Twitter mob,” since, he said, “it’s pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest, or taken out of context, or in any case bear no resemblance to what you actually think, or would want for the country.”

Claiming that the left demands “total conformity,” he said that “since the day we went on the air, they’ve been working hard to kill this show” and “make us be quiet.” But “”FOX News is behind us, as they have been since the very first day,” he said.

What an adolescent little prick. I swear, the damn country is overrun with adolescent, entitled little pricks who are just shocked-SHOCKED-that we don’t all gasp in wonder every time they use the big boy potty.

Whoever is feeding that little shit, I wish they’d make him act like a human being before he got another bite. I don’t care if he means it. I want him afraid to say it one more goddamn time. I am done.
