Tucker Mocked for Deranged Response to NSA's Flat Denial That They're Spying on Him

Tucker Mocked for Deranged Response to NSA's Flat Denial That They're Spying on Him
Fox News

On Monday, far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the National Security Agency (NSA) of illegally "spying" on him, citing an unnamed whistleblower whom Carlson said knew plans for a story that were only revealed in Carlson's electronic communications.

Carlson's razor-thin "evidence"—coupled with his long-established record of promoting deranged conspiracy theories to his millions of viewers—led many across social media to doubt and even mock him for the unhinged claim.


Now, the NSA itself has issued a statement outright denying that it's spying on Carlson at all.

The statement reads in part:

"This allegation is untrue. Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air."

Despite the NSA unequivocally denying Carlson's allegations, the Fox News host insists the Agency didn't actually deny his claims. On Tuesday, Carlson was back on the air blasting the NSA and delving further into delusion.

Watch below.

Carlson said of the "infuriatingly dishonest formal statement":

"Last night on the show, we made a very straightforward claim. NSA has read my private emails without my permission. Period. That's what we said. Tonight's statement from the NSA does not deny that. ... The question remains, did the Biden Administration read my personal emails? That's the question that we asked directly to NSA officials when we spoke to them about 20 minutes ago in a very heated conversation."

Growing in hysteria, he continued:

"The message was clear: 'We can do whatever we want. We can read your personal texts, we can read your personal emails, we can send veiled threats your way to brush you back if we don't like your politics. We can do anything. We're our own country, and there's literally nothing you can do about it. We're in charge, you're not.' Orwellian doesn't even begin to describe it."

People didn't share Carlson's outrage over the seemingly bogus accusation.







Noting the NSA's focus on foreign communications, not domestic ones, some wondered if Carlson inadvertently admitted to conspiring with foreign agents while blasting the NSA for supposedly monitoring him.



There are a myriad of reasons why Tucker Carlson wouldn't be an intelligence target.

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.

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.
