Tucker Carlson Goes Viral For Creepy 'Daddy Trump' Rant

What is wrong with these people?

Former Fox News host and pro-Russia provocateur Tucker Carlson emerged to make an appearance at a Turning Point USA event in Duluth, GA Thursday, and delivered a weird rant that even had the MAGA crowd creeped out.

Carlson launched into a metaphor about a disobedient teenage daughter that has been coddled for too long ⎻ presumably referencing the Democratic party or ideological enemies of MAGA ⎻ and needs to be scolded by "daddy" when he gets home. 

"Daddy's home! And he's pissed! He's not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them," Carlson screamed to the salivating MAGA crowd. "Daddy" in this scenario obviously meant Donald Trump; with the crowd devouring the image of a strongman returning to power to set things right. 

Carlson could have stopped there on the strongman language, but instead the metaphor took an unnecessary sexual turn in a cringeworthy rant that lasted another full minute, that seemed to have Carlson getting increasingly aroused by his own language.

"When dad gets home you know what he says? You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl and you're getting a vigorous spanking," Carlson said, as the crowd alternated between awkward laughing and grossed out silence. 

"And no, it's not going to hurt me more than it hurts you, no it's not," Carlson continued, now drifting into full on assault language mode. "I'm not going to lie, it's going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me, and you earned this," in an ode to victim blaming so common among abusers.

Apparently Carlson didn't get the memo about Donald Trump's history of sexual assault allegations, including being held legally liable for sexual assault of E. Jean Carroll, or of the fact that he has literally called for women who have had abortions to be punished by the federal government.

Carlson's rant reveals who MAGA Republican men are at their core. A grown man conjuring the imagery of Trump as "daddy" that is going to come home from work and set everything right is creepy enough. 

But the second half of Tucker's rant, wherein he seemed to uncontrollably drift into a dark abuse fantasy about punishing women, shows the deep-seated misogynistic hatred that Carlson and his ilk have for half the United States population and their desire to literally beat them into submission.
