Tucker Carlson recently sat down for an interview on Dave Rubin's show, where Carlson actually admitted that he will lie when he feels cornered "or whatever." This was a stunning admission from the Fox News host - basically letting the world know that he just lies when he can't think of anything else to say. But this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Tucker's work. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Tucker Carlson has never been known as really a beacon of truth. I mean, hell even his own lawyers, you know, Fox news lawyers have had to go to court and argue that, Hey, no reasonable person would take. What he's saying is statements of fact will in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson and right-wing talker, Dave Ruben, Dave asked him about, you know, all the times you have to debunk the lies of all the CNN people, or maybe even MSNBC people. And, uh, Tucker responded by actually admitting that he has to lie to usually when he doesn't know what to say, you know, because he's an idiot, here's Tucker Carlson's response. I guess I would ask myself like, I mean, I lie if I'm really con cornered on or something, you know, I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV.
I just don't. I don't like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever, but to systematically lie like that without asking yourself, why am I doing this? So if these people ask themselves, why am I doing this? And they say, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system. What, what, what, what, what, what does even any of that mean? Like you, okay, you're admitting, you're admitting you lie and you're admitting you're weak and you lie when you're weak again. It's because he doesn't know what to say when he's cornered or something. And you're like, but at least I'm a man enough to know I'm lying. And I have a good reason for lying, but these other people don't, I guess, is what he's saying. They're lying to protect this establishment that they keep talking about. Um, listen, everybody in cable news.
Yeah. Those people lie. It doesn't matter if you're looking at the right or the left. It's just, you see it less often with the left, but it sure happens. Folks absolutely does. But it happens all the time. Like literally every day and right wing media, you know, when Rachel Maddow lies about something, it typically makes headlines because she doesn't do it very often. And trust me, I'm no fan of Rachel Maddow, but see the difference there and Tucker Carlson, isn't lying to what? Protect the public. No, you're lying to protect an establishment as well. It's just, you're protecting a different kind of establishment. You're protecting the Republicans. You're protecting corporations. Whereas Democrats will lie of course, to protect corporations as well. And the democratic establishment right there, those structures, you all lie. But for you to sit there and try to say that your lies are okay, because somehow you only do it because you're weak. Like, I don't even understand the point you're trying to get across. Are you saying that these other people are lying and they're
Not weak? Like your admitting again, that you don't know what to do. You don't know what to say. So, ah, I just tell a lie, Lee, your, your child, this is infantile behavior. Okay. When you ask a child like, Hey, who broke the lamp here? And the child panics and doesn't know what to say, surely, great a lie. That's what Tucker Carlson is admitting that he's doing here. And it's maddening honestly, to try and dissect what this guy is doing here. What he's trying to say, what he's trying to admit to. So folks, the big takeaway from Tucker Carlson is don't trust what he says. The Fox news lawyers say, you can't trust what he says. It doesn't matter if he's lying because he's weak. If he's lying because he's stupid. Or if he's also lying to protect some kind of establishment, all we know is that from his own lawyers and from his own mouth Tucker Carlson admits that he has to lie. Then that right there should tell you everything you need to know about Tucker Carlson's nightly program. If you're watching it, you're going to be fed lies because he doesn't know what else to do.
