Tucker Carlson Claims It's 'Probably Illegal' For Biden To Consider Only Black Women For His VP

Tucker Carlson Claims It's 'Probably Illegal' For Biden To Consider Only Black Women For His VP

America's most visible racist to lose Dancing with the Stars, Tucker Carlson, reminded the millions of viewers Monday night on his primetime Fox News show that he doesn't have a law degree.

Carlson was adding his voice to the growing speculation of whom Democratic nominee Joe Biden will select as his running mate to face off with him against President Donald Trump in November.


Biden, whose announcement is expected this week, has pledged to choose a woman as his running mate. Amidst expanded national outcry against the brutalization of Black people by police, many Democrats are encouraging Biden to pick one of the many Black women lawmakers fit for the job. Among the possible candidates are Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-CA), and Congresswoman Val Demings (D-FL).

That didn't sit well with the Fox News host and heir to a frozen chicken fortune.

Watch below.

Carlson said:

"For what could very well be the most important job on Earth, Biden has decided to hire exclusively on the basis of qualities that are both immutable and completely irrelevant—race and gender, and that's it. But wait a second, you ask, isn't that insulting? Isn't it wrong? Isn't it probably illegal? Yes, it is all three of those things."

Being a political candidate is not, in itself, an hourly or salaried job.

It is not, in fact, illegal.




People immediately began roasting Carlson.





Carlson was recently forced to fire his head writer, who was found to be anonymously posting virulently racist and sexist ideations online.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all had our fair share of carpool karaoke and maybe even imagined our car as our own personal recording studio.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
