Tucker Carlson spreads wild conspiracy theory about gay Democrat
For the second time in just a few months, the former Fox News host-turned-independent media star has spread a bizarre conspiracy theory about the sexuality of a Democratic politician. This time, the target of Carlson’s musings is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, an openly gay man.
In a recent episode of his show, Carlson referred to Buttigieg as “supposedly gay.” He went on to recount how one of his producers, who is gay, told him that Buttigieg “is not gay.” Carlson says he believes his producer because “gays all keep close track of that stuff.”
“My producer goes, ‘It’s totally a pose. He was dating women just a few years ago. It’s totally fake. He’s not gay at all,’” Carlson adds. “So, I said that on the air and people got all offended. I thought it was kind of hilarious.”
