Tucker Carlson Repeatedly Uses The F Word And Attempts To Bait Piers Morgan
When Piers Morgan is the calm, sensible voice in a conversation, you know the other person is either Vlad The Impaler or…
Tucker Carlson spent part of his 27 November broadcast fixated on an anti-gay slur. The former Fox News host pushed Piers Morgan to say the F word on camera, turning the segment into something stranger than any Thanksgiving special needed to be.

Tucker: Would you say the word faggot on camera?
Morgan: No.

Morgan: Would you use that word?

Carlson fixates on an unverified case.
Carlson opened the exchange by claiming that a woman had been arrested for using the slur against a man who then assaulted her. He offered no evidence that this incident occurred. He then argued that “you’re allowed to be homophobic if you want,” using the claim to frame hate speech laws as a threat to personal freedom.
Morgan declined the bait.
Carlson repeatedly asked Morgan to say the slur on air. Morgan refused and said it was not because he feared arrest under UK hate speech laws. “I don’t believe in needlessly sneering or insulting anybody,” he said. Morgan added that he can argue his views on gender without insulting people, saying that attacking others does not strengthen his position.
Carlson says it anyway.
When Morgan asked if Carlson would use the word on camera, Carlson repeated it several times. He said he did so because he felt he was “not allowed to,” describing the reaction to the slur as a “chilling effect” on his self-expression. He ended the exchange by insisting that he could “use any freaking word” he wants.
A long record of hostile views.
Carlson’s comments follow decades of documented hostility toward LGBTQIA+ people. His 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White killed Harvey Milk, one of the most influential gay politicians in US history. Helms, a former US senator, built a career on racist and anti-gay rhetoric.
Carlson also wrote in a 1990 college column that homosexuality was “unnatural and unhealthy.” In 2007, he went on MSNBC Live and bragged about attacking a gay man in a bathroom. His recent outburst fits a pattern.
Tucker Carlson, has to be, the biggest fucking idiot on the planet.

Morgan promotes a new book.
Morgan is now promoting his book Woke Is Dead: How Common Sense Triumphed In An Age of Total Madness where he defends J. K. Rowling’s stance on trans people. The on-air scuffle with Carlson has helped him push that message to a global audience.
Carlson’s segment may have been framed as a debate about freedom, but it raised a different question. When someone with a global audience chooses to repeat a slur for shock value, what is he really trying to protect?
