When Tucker Carlson tells you that he lies, you can believe him. The Fox News host, who once again used his show with an audience of more than 3 million people to spread doubts about the coronavirus vaccine, despite the fact that he works for an employer that mandates its employees get poked, admitted that he sometimes just makes shit up when it is convenient for him. While sitting down for an interview with fellow conservative grifter Dave Rubin, Carlson, who apparently lives in a corner, admitted, "I lie if I'm really cornered or something."
Carlson's confession came about halfway into the hour-long conversation and was prompted by Rubin asking Carlson about how people like CNN fixtures Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter can "live with themselves" when they "just lie again and again and we have the internet to expose the lies." Carlson immediately went into introspective mode. "I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV," he said. "I just don’t — I don't like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever." (You can hear the discussion around the 36:00 mark in the video below.)
