Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize amid uproar over past comments on 'extremely primitive' women
WILLIAM CUMMINGS | USA TODAY

Fox News host Tucker Carlson refused to apologize after clips from old radio interviews in which Carlson made controversial remarks about women and child rape were circulated on social media Sunday.

Media Matters, a self-described "progressive media watchdog," published clips and transcripts from appearances Carlson made between 2006 and 2011 on a popular shock-jock radio program called "Bubba the Love Sponge."

In two appearances, Carlson jokingly downplayed the crimes of cult leader – and convicted child sex offender – Warren Jeffs. In other clips, he calls women "extremely primitive," says he feels "sorry for unattractive women," uses the c-word to describe two women, calls one woman a "pig" and refers to two other women as "whores."

A defiant Carlson addressed the audio clips in a statement Sunday night, just hours after the Media Matters story ran.

"Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago," he said. "Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why."

Thanks to Twitter, people who were upset by his views did not have to wait to appear on his show to explain why they were outraged.

Appreciate @TuckerCarlson welcoming me to come on his @FoxNews show, but explaining all the things he’s wrong about in terms that he might be able to comprehend will take at least a week’s worth of episodes ... but I’m game. https://t.co/HCCv8pyrUm

"Shame on you. You have daughters," tweeted actress and MeToo movement advocate Alyssa Milano.

Hey, @TuckerCarlson. Shame on you. You have daughters. https://t.co/HX5ePEMgCN

Defending and justifying adults sexually assaulting children is not "naughty" -- it's abhorrent

Tucker makes clear with this statement that HE REGRETS NOTHING https://t.co/QPNmHNQ4Q8

There aren’t enough words to describe how vile of a human Tucker Carlson is.

Let me know when you want me on your show to tell you that sex with underage girls is wrong and being a misogynistic man is wrong as well.

Several commenters called for boycotts of the companies that advertise during Carlson's show and others called for his outright firing.

These are some of Tucker Carlson’s sponsors: @JennyCraig, @SamsungUS, and @Bayer. Their continued support of his show is an implicit endorsement of his contempt for women, minorities, and diverse races. That’s their choice. Ours is to boycott their products. #ProtectTheTruth

Does defending child rape violate a moral turpitude clause in a person's contract? #TuckerCarlson

— Nadine van der Velde (@nadinevdVelde) March 11, 2019
Would any advertiser on @foxnews permit their CEO or other executive officers to behave like dirtbag @TuckerCarlson? The answer is “NO.” If they do not demand his firing NOW, they are condoning his conduct. It is time for him to be fired - immediately.

Carlson also had many defenders on social media, including President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who said "the left" is "going after" Carlson because "he's effective at destroying their agenda."

For comments made on the “Bubba The Love Sponge” show. Obviously a serious policy show where no satire would be made.

The left is not going after @TuckerCarlson for any reason other then he’s effective at destroying their agenda. That’s what they do. https://t.co/ExtAY86q5i

Actress Alana Stewart said Media Matters "only targets conservative hosts."

Just wondering if Media Matters is going to go through all the hosts on @CNN & @MSNBC for any discrepancies in their past. Oh, and what about @BillMaher? Funny, @mmfa only targets conservative hosts like #TuckerCarlson & bullies their sponsors.

Liberals and their double standards are absolutely infuriating. They can do whatever hey want while still claiming the moral high ground all while their 24\7 propaganda outlets on the TV reinforce their hypocrisy.

"Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why."

Best way one could respond to something like this.

Want to go back in time... fine. We can do that.

How many members of the Democratic party were members of the KKK

How many members of the Democratic party openly supported segregation and Jim Crow laws?

How many members of the Democratic party actively opposed the liberal rights movement?

How many members of the Democratic Party come from families who owned slaves?

How many members of the Democratic Party have been charged with voter fraud/collusion/intimidation?

How many members of the Democratic Party have taken bribes or mishandled campaign funds?

Show me the hypocrisy

I feel sorry for all of the people on the left. They're the most morally pure and wholesome folks on the planet, it must be so hard to hear all of the nasty, vile hate speech that spews from conservatives. Thank goodness they'd never stoop that low.

It sounds like he's figured out that he has no reason to GAF any more now that cretins have mobbed his home and stalked his daughter in a restaurant bar.

I was especially disgusted by him talking about a "woman enjoying intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously."

...oh wait

that would be Comrade Bernie.

They can't win the arguments. So they want to shut it all down. Sic semper tyrannis.

Exactly, and Tammy Bruce explains this quite succinctly to Tucker last night. She nails it. The link is to the video clip (about 5 mins).

I understand Tucker is changing the theme song for his show to this:

More salt in the wound. They are a tax exempt org.

Tucker is one of the few sane voices talking about both illegal and legal immigration, and that is the main reason the Marxists want him gone. In light of the latest release from Media Matters I hope FNC continues to support him, but I have my doubts.

They are in obvious violaion of this. Hopefully the IRS will be taking a look at them and reconsidering.

Just a vile, hateful organization.

WaPo Runs Glowing Profile Of Media Matters Researcher Who Dug Up Tucker Tapes

The Washington Post ran an adulatory profile Thursday of the Media Matters researcher who dug up old shock jock radio tapes of Fox News host Tucker Carlson and minimized the left-wing organization’s influence on the media landscape.

Carlson, co-founder of The Daily Caller, argued on his Fox News show that he is a victim of “the great American outrage machine,” referring to the organized left-wing boycotts of his advertisers and the calls for him to be fired. WaPo, however, claimed Carlson believes he is the victim of the young woman who found the tapes and sought to compare Carlson’s relative influence to her.

“In reality, credit for the tapes’ publication is due to Peltz: a 20-something in her first adult job who lives in the basement of a D.C. house she rents with five other people, a few cats and a dog named Noodles,” WaPo’s Eli Rosenberg writes.

“I’m not like some high-power-wielding globalist,” Peltz told WaPo. “I’m this kid who’s been on the Internet my whole life and knows how to get around it.”

WaPo also responds to Carlson’s point that Media Matters is partially funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros, arguing that the organization has not been funded by Soros in “many years.” Soros last donated to Media Matters in 2014. Yet Carlson’s radio interviews, which took place between 2006 and 2011, are described by WaPo as his “recent past.”

In addition, WaPo takes issue with Carlson’s attacks on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), suggesting that the SPLC must be credible because it is “used widely by media organizations.” The SPLC, however, regularly identifies mainstream conservative persons and groups as bigots. In June 2018, SPLC paid out millions to a group because it falsely labeled the group founders as “anti-Muslim extremists.” (RELATED: Southern Poverty Law Center Pays Out Millions To Group It Falsely Labeled Bigoted)

WaPo completely glosses over The Daily Caller News Foundation’s publication of old blog posts from Media Matters President Angelo Carusone on Wednesday that contain offensive terms like “trannies,” “Japs,” and “Jewry.” Rosenberg allows Carusone to wave away the allegations of hypocrisy over his targeting of Carlson and accepts wholesale Carusone’s claim that his old posts were “intended as satire.”

WaPo writes that Carusone’s posts were a “parody” of right-wingers, but as the DCNF’s Peter Hasson explains in a Thursday article, Carusone’s explanation doesn’t match the larger tone of his blog, which frequently contained attacks on Republicans and promotions of left-wing political positions.

Simple answer: White conservative males.

George Soros funded Media Matters at it again!
