Ex-Fox News Host Gretchen Carlson Can’t Believe The ‘Crap’ Spewed On Tucker Carlson’s Show

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson on Tuesday called out the “crap” that’s been “spewed” in recent months on Tucker Carlson’s top-rated prime time show on the conservative network.

Gretchen Carlson hit out on Twitter after Fox News analyst Brit Hume told host Tucker Carlson that Trump is “radioactive” to the GOP for whipping up his supporters with “utter balderdash” about winning the 2020 election. Since losing the election, Trump and his enablers have been lying about mass voter fraud.

“@brithume now calling out Trump for lying to the American people about the election on a show like @TuckerCarlson where all that crap was spewed for months?” wrote Gretchen Carlson, the former host of “Fox & Friends” who left the network in 2016. She later received a reported $20 million settlement over allegations that she was sexually harassed by the late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

“What? This is like cover our asses now?” she added.

Tucker Carlson has repeatedly questioned Joe Biden’s election victory. He was forced to apologize after airing a fake news story about a dead man voting in Georgia.

His fellow prime time stars Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham have done the same.

Last month, Tucker Carlson was slammed as “truly, truly evil” after suggesting people should react “nervously” to COVID-19 vaccine.

London Police Will Track Ethnicity of Drivers They Pull Over

London’s Metropolitan Police will begin to track the ethnicity of people pulled over by traffic officers after data showed Black motorists were being disproportionately targeted.

Mayor Sadiq Khan, who supports the program, said Black Londoners are six times more likely to be stopped in a car than a white person. Khan said the pilot program will help “assess and address” concerns over racial profiling, and called for the U.K. government to make it compulsory for police to publish similar data.

The program will last for six months initially. Officers will also record the location and time of the vehicle stop, sex and age of the driver, and the make and model of the vehicle. They will inform those people stopped why they are being asked for the information.

“This pilot will help us assess our proportionality in relation to vehicle stops,” Met Operations Commander Kyle Gordon said in a statement on Monday. “This is part of the steps we are taking to increase even further public trust and confidence in the Met – particularly among London’s Black communities.”
