NEW YORK | Launching a tirade Aug. 25 about a new coronavirus pandemic mask mandate issued by Democratic Oregon Governor Kate Brown, in an effort to stem the overwhelming caseloads of the COVID Delta variant in her state, Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson first took aim at the Governor’s sexual orientation.
Carlson opened his show questioning the governor’s private life and also disparaging the LGBTQ+ community, which he has done over the course of his career.
Carlson continued on to attack the governor’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said she was “irrational.”
He also said that the state voted for “some dopey soccer mom who got elected because she claimed she had a girlfriend in college.”
The Governor responded to Carlson in a tweet, writing “[T]hat’s what bisexual means. To every bisexual person out there struggling to explain to your friends and family who you are and who you love: you are not alone. Don’t let the bullies stop you from being true to yourself. You might even be a governor someday.”
.@TuckerCarlson, that’s what bisexual means.
