Tucker: 'Probably Illegal' for Biden to Only Consider a Black Woman VP

[Zorro]

Fox News star Tucker Carlson—currently facing outrage from network colleagues over his racist rhetoric—upped the ante on Monday night, claiming it was “probably illegal” for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to prioritize Black women in his running-mate search, while calling those candidates unqualified.

Carlson, whose former head writer was recently outed as an outspoken racist, kicked off Monday night’s broadcast of his hit primetime show by singling out the women of color whom Biden is reportedly considering as the vice-presidential nominee.

“We’ve taken a closer look at three potential candidates. All of them are said to be on Joe Biden’s shortlist for the job,” Carlson declared, referencing a previous inflammatory segment. “They are Stacey Abrams, Karen Bass, and Kamala Harris. Now, in a normal year, no mainstream candidate would consider any of these people. All of them would be disqualified without debate.”

The far-right Fox host first described Rep. Bass (D-CA) as a “lunatic Fidel Castro acolyte” and an armed revolutionary, referring to her past praise of the Cuban dictator and work for a young leftist group during the 1970s. After calling Abrams, a former Georgia state representative and gubernatorial candidate, “delusional” and accusing her of writing “bad porn novels,” Carlson took aim at Sen. Harris (D-CA).

This guy is a real piece of work. I'm hoping karma catches up with him soon.

1. But..

Not illegal to only consider a white male for VP?

[soothsayer]

2. He should shut his harassment hole

Why is he still employed?

[Mariana]

17. He makes money for Fox News, that's why.

He will remain employed until that changes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

19. Given the age of the avg Fox viewer, he probably reminds them of their grandsons.

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. Tucker gonna tell Joe Biden who to choose?

Take a step back, Tucker.

[Laelth]

4. Biden is not the government.

Biden is not an employer covered by Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It’s ENTIRELY LEGAL for him to employ whatever criteria he chooses in making his VP selection.

Carlson is just flinging poo—seeing what will stick. This won’t.

5. "All of them would be disqualified without debate" just like Caribou Barbie, eh? Tucker, the...

worst things I can imagine are still too good for you.

I was just reading an article on ancient methods of execution, and none of them would be appropriate.

Too little pain.

6. Tucker Carlson is probably a moron

Nah. No probablies about it.

[Hekate]

7. It may strike a note with plenty of misogynists, not just racists. I remember when Obama set out...

...to put a woman on the Supreme Court, there was a lively discussion right here about how a woman would be okay, BUT she would have to be the one and only best-qualified person on the entire planet. And the people who said that were willing to repeat it over and over.

Sadly, it is not just racists who will hear what Widdle Pucker is saying.

[H2O Man]

11. Exactly.

It is no coincidence, it is purposeful. (I note that in a recent court filing, Tucker's lawyer stated that Tucker's audience does not expect him to report "facts." True fact, right there. They are at the edge of their seats, anticipating hate.)

[Sneederbunk]

8. He should invite Harris to be on his show.

Probably does not feel like being inviscerated.

[tavernier]

10. Or Jon Stewart.

Well, that’s a difficult thing to ask of Carlson since a few years back, Jon, with beautiful surgical precision, removed one of Tucker’s balls before the little fat cheeked racist even knew it was gone. Even today “people say” that Tucker walks with a pronounced limp whenever Stewart’s name is mentioned.

[H2O Man]

12. +1

Great call!

[spooky3]

9. Tucker, THIS is "illegal": "Now, in a normal year, no mainstream candidate would consider any of

these people. All of them would be disqualified without debate.” That's ruling out qualified candidates simply because they are black, Asian-American, or female.

[genxlib]

13. I'm calling bullshit

Tucker would love for the VP nominee to be an AA woman so he can throw red meat to his salivating masses every night. After all, that single person could hit nearly every one of his trigger demographics.

This is some low level reverse psychology shit here. He probably learned it from Brer Rabbit.

[Tripper11]

14. Probably illegal for tucker to be this stupid....

...but here we are.

[whttevrr]

15. There is a link at end of article to comment on lack of comments.

Within the survey that takes no personal information, there is an 'other' and a comment box. I used it to state that I read the comments to keep an eye on the fever of deplorables.

There is a comment box after that for further input. I commented that they should link commenting to a verified social media account so that it would be easier to keep track of trolls.

Just sayin'...

[niyad]

16. Soooooooop, fucker is a racist, a misogynist, and an alleged rapist. Tells us clearly who the

faux snooze target audience is.

[area51]

18. Fscker Carlson should probably shut up.

[lastlib]

20. Proby illegal for F*cker Gnarlson to practice journalism, too....

but that's never stopped him from posing......

[spanone]

21. an embarrassment to humankind

[treestar]

22. Well then why didn't he find it illegal

to commit to a female VP.

This is not a hiring process. It's elective office, not a literal job.
