Tucker Carlson has managed to achieve a complete unification of the opinions in the US. However, the opinion is against him. The public outrage has broken out after he voiced criticism of the current state of the US military. He is the host of his own show for Fox News.
Tucker Carlson, known for his conservative sympathies, took a dig at the Biden administration by criticizing the status of women in military service. He said that the guardians of peace have been unnecessarily overstretched to satisfy the needs that women members have. He points out new hairstyling and modified flight suits as examples.
Tucker Carlson Doing The Rounds On Twitter
Retired and current serving servicemen immediately took to social media to heavily criticize the sexist statements. Even the official US Army Twitter handle replied with a picture of a woman officer, captioning her as a proud soldier serving the nation.
Michael Grinston, a sergeant major in the Army, tweeted that women are the dominant force on any battlefield, future or present. He further called Tuck Carlson’s words divisive and a poor representation of the true opinion. Major General John B. Richardson said that the word soldier does not have any genders associated with it.
Lieutenant General Theodore Martins also joined the outrage by posting a picture of her daughter in a fighter plane cockpit, with the caption implying how enviable her position is. Retired General Barry R. McCaffrey gave an example of his own long-term career and stated how his experience has shown him the courage that women possess.
More than 75,000 replies to Tucker Carlson’s words were online by Thursday. The hashtags #BoycottFox, #FireTuckerCarlson, and #BoycottTucker were topping the trending ranking. There was almost no support for the conservative. Even voting organizations and authors took their stance at the outrageous comments of the TV show host.
