Fox News Tucker Carlson believes it is fascist to suggest a political opponent belongs in jail.
On Mondays edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson warned about the supposed dangers of Democrats threats to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee.
These people are fascist, Carlson proclaimed in response to footage of Reps. Jackie Speier (D-CA) and Steve Cohen (D-TN) calling for Barr to be imprisoned, a possible but unlikely discipline for contempt of Congress.
Lock him up! Send him to jail! the Fox News host said in an effort to mock these Democratic lawmakers, with no apparent sense of irony.
Carlson............................your....................... .....................really is to tight....................you really are fucking hypocrite, and yes he and others in your party need to be LOCKED UP..........................your party asshole is the most corrupt law breaking party in history...............................that is fact................. in fact they ( your republican party ) didn't even call the FBI when they and your party made contact with a foreign adversary.....................

... As he speaks, I will not engage with his points, because they are extremely bad, and there is no real conversation to be had about why defending a pedophile, saying you love the image of teen girls experimenting sexually, and calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton the biggest white whores in America is all terrible and wrong. I may, however, point out that he looks like an angry jowl wearing a toupee, or, if he really upsets me, I may tell him that he looks exactly like someone who would be named Tucker.
... I will not pants him, or accidentally spill water on him so it looks like he wet himself, and then make everyone in the office come and look. But I will also not remove my headphones to listen to him spew hate speech, or take him up on his offer to watch his show, because life is precious and short, and there are more enjoyable things I can do with an hour, like getting a root canal. When he appears done, I may simply call him cunty, like he called TV host Alexis Stewart ...
