In one instance in 2008, Carlson laments that “everyone’s embarrassed to be a white man,' before stating white men deserve credit for “creating civilization and stuff.” The audio was compiled by Media Matters for America.
Tucker Carlson speaks during a debate at Politicon in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, October 20, 2018.
In another instance, Carlson is heard saying Iraq is a “crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semi-literate primitive monkeys,” adding,"that’s why it wasn’t worth invading.” That follows a 2006 segment on the show where Carlson said he had “zero sympathy” for Iraqi people and their culture because they “don’t use toilet paper or forks.”A co-host on the show replies: “They’re animals, dude. They are.
In March of 2006, Carlson spoke on his desire for a presidential candidate to blame the “lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals." Said candidate would be “elected king” if they vowed to “kill as many of them as [they] can,” Carlson added. In a separate posting, Media Matters published a conversation between Bubba the Love Sponge and Carlson from 2006, in which the host tells Carlson “I like you. I mean, I’m not trying to f-- out on you or nothing, but I like you. I like you.
“The great american outrage machine is a remarkable thing,” he said, in front of title cards that read “THE MOB” and “CRACKDOWN ON DISSENT.” The audio released Sunday by Media Matters compiled more than a dozen instances of Carlson’s commentary on the show between 2006 and 2011, in which he’s heard describing women as “extremely primitive,” suggesting underage marriage is not as serious as forced child-rape and that he would “love” a scenario involving young girls experimenting sexually.Those clips quickly went viral, and the backlash was swift as many condemned Carlson for his views.
