Tucker Carlson Gets Really Strange: Schiff Wrote Steamy Impeachment Letters With His Own Body Fluids
The Fox News host took a stab at satire, and it went very, very wrong.

At the top of his primetime show Thursday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took a stab at satireand things quickly got extremely weird and very gross.
Reacting to the House of Representatives voting earlier in the day to make the impeachment inquiry into President Trump official, Carlson took aim at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), who has become a favorite target of Trump and his allies due to his outsize role in the impeachment process.
Noting that Thursdays vote fell almost completely along party lines, the Fox News host claimed Schiff was ecstatic that impeachment was moving forward before sharing a supposedly sarcastic story.
He has spent years obsessing over impeachment like it was a young Jodie Foster, Carlson said, referencing John Hinckley, who was infatuated with the actress and attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan to impress her.
Colleagues say he has pictures of impeachment taped to the walls of his bedroom, Carlson continued. Hes believed to have written it steamy unhinged letters with his own body fluids. So, for Schiff, todays vote was thrilling, in ways that only a court-appointed psychiatrist could fully appreciate.
After turning the ick factor all the way up to eleven, Carlson then played a clip of Schiff plainly stating that the House vote was a solemn day and that House Democrats took no joy in moving down this road. Carlson said Schiff was just pretending that it was not the happiest day of his life.
We take no joy in this, Carlson scoffed. Of all the many lies told at public expense in Washington, D.C., and there are many, that might be the most hilariously brazen of all in at least a generation, for those of you keeping track at home. In fact, for Democrats, impeachment is like winning the lotto on Christmas.

He aired that story? He has always had some sick ideas tied to him, but this is beyond sick.

in the hate industry. I'm more worried about the Kool-Aid drinkers who listen to him and believe that remark.

Who knows what kind of disgusting thoughts lurk in the mind of that psycho Carlson.
I was about to say the same thing!

It is scary sick. Isn't he one (along with Hannity) that Trump talks to at night? Talk about telephone conversations. No wonder Trump stays wired with crazy conspiracies.
I'd say Tucker has identified the wrong owner(s) of the body fluids.
