In an extraordinary rebuke, the Pentagon and several senior members of the US military called out Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday for a sexist segment in which he mocked women serving in the armed forces.
Carlson, who is effectively the face of Fox and hosts the top show on the right-wing channel, ridiculed President Joe Biden Tuesday for saying that the US military had created uniforms to fit women properly, created maternity flight suits for those who are pregnant, and updated requirements for hairstyles.
"So we've got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits," Carlson snarked. "Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It's a mockery of the US military."
Carlson's comments have prompted severe backlash from some of the most senior members of the US military who took to Twitter on Wednesday and Thursday to call Carlson out for what they described as harmful and divisive rhetoric.

Funny how I got attacked yesterday for talking about this because I posted a Salon article (it was the only article at the time and couldn't get the video from Twitter to post right away) and told that I probably didn't watch the video, that I misunderstood him, etc. Basically there were people defending him when I posted about it. I wonder if those people STILL concur with Tucker Carlson...

Trying to remember where Tucker served. Maybe with Donnie in the STD wars.

And I absolutely concur with the Pentagon and Senior leadership. I am not all too familiar with Carlsons back ground, But I question where he gets this opinion from, because he obviously has not served with that opinion.

The Daily Show did a nice little spot on Tucker Carlson's background. Spoiler - he's an entitled little prick who hasn't earned shit in his life. His dad married the Swanson heiress when he was a kid.
