Tucker Carlson Spends Entire Show Screaming Over Child Bride He Invited On To Debate Him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

NEW YORK—After promising to let anyone who disagrees with his views come on his program to explain why, Tucker Carlson spent the entire taping of his show Monday loudly and repeatedly interrupting the child bride he had invited on to debate him about underage marriage. “Ma’am, ma’am! You’ll have your chance to talk, but this is my show, and I’m not going to sit here and be lectured about how the world works by someone who hasn’t even finished middle school!” said Carlson, shouting over his guest, 12-year-old Jennifer Bridgemeyer, whose marriage to a man four times her age was arranged by a cult leader and who disagrees with the Fox News host’s stated view that her rape is not as serious as other rapes. “This is ridiculous. I won’t be manipulated like this. Just because you’re a child bride doesn’t give you an excuse to act like a child. Stop crying! Goddammit, cut her mic. Cut it!” At press time, Carlson was urging his producer to completely scrap the interview after Bridgemeyer completely dismantled his argument with the few sentences she had managed to express.

1. I know it's the Onion, but this one sounds like it could be true.

2. LOL

It has to be getting harder and harder for them to come up with actual satire these days!

3. If I didn't see this on The Onion's website an hour ago this might have got me.

4. I was about to post this to FB

The saw the Onion url.

Conservatism is really ruining satire. It's supposed to be outrageous in order to get your hackles up, not be so close to reality that you have trouble telling them apart.

5. What a world in which I wholly buy it for a moment.

6. Tucker Carlson is a racist and a gullible idiot.

The only difference between him and Hannity, is that Carlson believes the crap that he is spewing. Hannity knows that he is just making big bucks pushing xenophobia and veiled racism. That's why Carlson will attempt to have real debates on his show, thinking that he can win the debate. Hannity won't do it,

7. This is almost believable.

Satire is dead.

8. Y'know, ir actually gets me depressed how often...

...how often I can't recognize an Onion or Borowitz headline until I see the URL.

The loonies have been permitted to run wild.

9. I fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

12. I don't really follow Tucks, but he seems to have a bad rep lately.

Kicked and recommended. The onion is always a winner.

[Blue Owl]

13. My God, what a fucking dick...

[catbyte]

14. The Onion doesn't even have to try anymore...

[liberalhistorian]

15. You know what's sad and frightening

and quite symbolic of the times we're currently living in? I completely believed this until I got to the end and saw it was from the Onion, especially considering the recent rejection of bills to end child marriage in dumbass Republican hellholes such as Idaho.

16. How the past few days have been going for him, I expect audio of this actually happening to emerge.

An accidental real news scoop for The Onion ... that irony would rip the fabric of space-time and hopefully suck him in.
