New Audio of Offensive Remarks by Tucker Carlson

March 11, 2019 at 7:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Media Matters published audio clips of Tucker Carlson’s calls to the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show between 2006 and 2011.

In one clip, Carlson said underage marriage is not “the same thing exactly as pulling a child from a bus stop and sexually assaulting that child… The rapist in this case has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person so it is a little different.”

In another, Carlson described underage girls at Carlson’s daughter’s boarding school experimenting sexually with each other and said, “If it weren’t my daughter I would love that scenario.”

The Daily Beast says Carlson “appeared to defend statutory rape and called for the elimination of rape shield laws, among other things.”

Carlson responded that Media Matters “caught me saying something naughty.”
