Tucker Carlson Slammed For Mocking Pete Buttigieg's Paternity Leave With Bigoted 'Breastfeeding' Remark

Tucker Carlson Slammed For Mocking Pete Buttigieg's Paternity Leave With Bigoted 'Breastfeeding' Remark
Fox News

Fox News host Tucker Carlson made homophobic and misogynist remarks about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg taking paternity leave after the birth of his twins, Penelope Rose and Joseph August.

Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and former mayor of South Bend, Indiana went on paid paternity leave in mid-August to spend time with his twins and support his husband, Chasten.


While away, Tucker Carlson decided to share his bigoted thoughts about his absence:

"Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child."
"Paternity leave, they call it, trying to figure out how to breastfeed."
"No word on how that went."

It was a totally unnecessary, hateful remark in a rant about inflation and supply chain issues.


Of course, Twitter was not going to let Tucker get away with his latest display of bigotry and ignorance.










It's possible Carlson forgot Fox News offers their employees paid paternity leave and his coworkers have taken advantage of it.

Fox & Friends First co-host Todd Piro took a six-week paternity leave to spend time with his daughter. Fox News host Jesse Watters took a short leave after the birth of his child.

In April, Watters even shared his opinion's changed after taking time off:

"Now I am pro-paternity."
"I used to mock people for taking paternity, I used to think it was a big ruse."
"But now, ya know, I wish I could take six weeks."


It's not the first time Carlson has shown his bigoted views about the LGBTQ+ community.

He tried to tear down Oregon Democratic Governor Kate Brown for her bisexuality when criticizing her mask mandate.

Carlson had an entry from his college yearbook showing he supported the homophobic killer Dan White for the murder of Harvey Milk.

And to top it off, he's claimed that transgender people are a threat to the "perpetuation of the species."



Somehow, after all the homophobia, transphobia, and racism Carlson has exhibited and promoted on his show, Fox News has yet to truly be held accountable.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
