Because they have a plus-size model this year.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson pouts about plus-size models: ‘Keep politics out of my swimsuit issue’



Fox News host Tucker Carlson complained on Sunday that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue had become too “political” because the 2016 edition includes plus-size models.

The magazine announced over the weekend the Swimsuit edition would feature three different covers with models who have different body types: Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham, and Hailey Clauson.

Fox News host Sandra Smith noted on Sunday that the magazine had been praised for including different body types, and co-host Clayton Morris pointed to Graham as the “plus size” model.

“Does it really need to be political?” Carlson whined. “You know what I mean? Politics now in the swimsuit issue. That is disgusting.”

1. The one in the middle please ...

Oh, that's the so-called plus size. I guess I'm not supposed to choose her.

FU to Tucker.

[underpants]

3. I find this to be objectifying

And I fully agree

[Warren DeMontague]

20. I'm sure he's got the ladies beatin' down his door.

Nothing turns women on like a pompous right wing turd with a bow tie. Just ask George Will.

[pintobean]

21. Know who could rock the bow tie?

Paul Simon.


No, the other one.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. I'm pretty sure that was my first Primary vote.

'88, IIRC.

[Reter]

33. I would definitely choose the one on the left

Personal opinions vary.

[VMA131Marine]

2. Does anyone care what Tucker Carlson thinks anymore?

Talk about an irrelevant nobody.

[underpants]

4. He "publishes" The Daily Caller

Started what 5 years ago - yeah publishing (even online) what a great business idea. Basically it is another voice in the choir and is probably funded by the same dark deep pockets that fund their think tanks and other C-league websites.

[Blue_Tires]

37. +1

[Bigmack]

5. Carlson is such a loser/dweeb...

..that his choice of sex partners boils down to .... right hand or.... left hand.

Why would he even comment?

[Drahthaardogs]

10. Agree. Tucker has no chance with ANY woman

well, at least any woman who is alive. Why does he think he gets to scrutinize?

[TexasBushwhacker]

13. He's married w/ 4 kids

But why does he assume that ALL men only like skinny women?

[narnian60]

6. Tucker,

YOU are disgusting.

[Omaha Steve]

7. I see no reason that plus size models getting equal time is bad for women

[Warren DeMontague]

35. Nor do I.

but there are a lot of concepts my enfeebled brain is apparently incapable of understanding, like why attractive women in bathing suits are a bad thing to begin with.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Tucker, Tucker, Tucker...

Using different types of models to reach alternate demographic groups is called "marketing."

Whining about it on a politics blog and TV commentary shows is....well, politics.

[Iggo]

9. Tucker Carlson hates women.

Yeah, big surprise.

[RiffRandell]

11. Who blocked out the woman on the left?

Discrimination to me.

If we are all for breastfeeding, then we have seen breasts.

So fucking stupid.

[polly7]

15. I agree with that.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. The colors are all off, too.

Bad capture off tv, I think.

[Dont call me Shirley]

12. Your politics are disgusting, Fucker.

[oberliner]

14. It's amazing that such a thing as a "swimsuit issue" still exists

What exactly does it have to do with sports?

[yuiyoshida]

16. Who ever the female voice was totally

Mispronounced Rhonda Rousey's name.. calling her Rhonda Roosey...its Rousey!!

[Warren DeMontague]

25. It's FOX.

They pride themselves on gettin' shit wrong.

[yuiyoshida]

27. Yes, I am sure

[Initech]

17. Fat shaming. Just lovely.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Swimsuit Issue Time already? FUCK.

That means I need to start thinking about my taxes.

[RiffRandell]

22. Oh, I just thought you were a dirty old man.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Well that too.

[lob1]

26. If Tucker thinks those ladies are too large, his preference

must be very small. Maybe that's why everyone calls him a little fucker.

[Marrah_G]

28. There is nothing plus size about the woman in the middle

[uponit7771]

32. +1, I don't see how any of them qaulify as "plus size"

[AngryOldDem]

29. So Tucker would much rather see models literally starving themselves to "look good"?

Because that is the nasty downside of the industry.

Modeling is becoming much more open to the plus-size figure, and it's about damn time. Deal with it, Tucker.

Geeze...ALWAYS something to bitch about.

[ellenrr]

30. plus size or not it is objectifying women

why do people think it is a good thing to objectify women bec. one also makes a political statement?
Like Beyonce, objectifies women while she supposedly salutes the Panthers.
so it is ok to demean women?
I don't think so.
let's be done with objectifying women's bodies.
At the heart of all assaults against women, literal and metaphorical - is objectification of women's bodies.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. So why are women treated so abysmally in countries that dont do this "objectification" thing?

Im sorry, but humans find each other attractive for numerous reasons, and physical attractiveness is a big one.

There is nothing wrong with women (or men) in bathing suits or people finding each other attractive or being found attractive on the basis of physical characteristics.

[uponit7771]

31. That's plus size? I'm... a part of a different culture I guess
