In 2006 & 2009 he spoke about 13 year old boys having sex with their teachers and 14 year old girls having lesbian lovers. In 2014 he went on Fox News to continue advocating for sex with minors. In 2017 he had an interview with Gavin McInnes where he repeated himself, this time talking of 15 year olds. And of course, this is only a cursory glance at his statements. It is very likely that more interviews and statements will appear in the future related to this topic.

Tucker Carlson is a rape apologist. Children cannot consent, but as Tucker says, his best friend had a relationship with a teacher, so its okay. Meanwhile his friends on the right like Gavin McInnes and Ben Shapiro either ignore or completely support his statements. Though in my view, ignoring these statements is akin to support, so they’re one and the same.

Do not support Tucker Carlson. These statements are what he says in public, so what does he say in private? The fact is, the guy has no concept of consent. Tucker Carlson is a rape apologist, and does not deserve the accolades he has received. And yes I know this controversy is old, but hardcore Republicans need to be told things multiple times before it ever gets to them. Do not support Tucker Carlson.
