Ex-Fox News host makes bizarre claim on Steve Bannon’s podcast, days after saying a demon attacked him in his sleep

Demons that Tucker Carlson claimed attacked him as he slept were also responsible for the invention of nuclear technology, the conservative former Fox News host said on Monday in another bizarre contention.

Carlson made the claim on the War Room podcast hosted by his fellow rightwing extremist Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser in the Trump administration who was released from prison last week after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

    This is why we used to have insane asylums, for locking away, people who have lost their minds. Instead, we just let them rant on national television these days and no one bats an eye.

      He’s not asylum insane. He’s an ultra-wealthy narcissistic conman, thus capitalism is designed to reward him the most.

        Fair. I still think people used to have more common sense and avoid taking crazy in public for fear of being looked at as a crazy person or locked up.

        Not that asylums are a viable solution for mental health. I know many people suffered greatly in those types of environments under the guise of psychology.

    I think we found the new host of RFK’s brain worms.

    Every now and then, one of them says something so batshit that I think they must be testing the limits of their con. Like eventually some of their sheep will cognitively process one of these nuggets and say, “hang on a second…”

      He’s preaching to an audience that genuinely believes that gay people are gay because they have demons inside them. Logic and reason have left this conversation many, many moons ago.

    Riiiiiight. $5 will get you $10 that in a few weeks he says the same demons told him to cut up and eat a hooker…

    This clip was so weird. Dude just forgot or ignored the Manhattan project. No Tucker, we have amazing documentation on the development of nuclear tech. Oh, and it was one of your dogs that scratched you. Neither are daemonic…

    This weirdo seems to be crediting all kinds of things to demons lately.

    I was going to ask if he’s OK but obviously he’s not. He’s Tucker Carlson.

      Maybe he’s working on his defense to claim insanity.

      He seems to be pivoting hard to build up an extreme Christian base.

    The most visible nuclear scientists to the layman are probably Marie Curie(Woman) and then Oppenheimer(Jew) so of course Fucker thinks they’re demons.

    So adding uranium and other radioactive isotopes to the list of shit like dinosaur bones that Satan just sprinkled into the ground to be a dick?

    God these people are deranged evil fuckers.

    It was called the ‘Demon Core’ after all.

    What a lunatic. Yeah, demons scratched him in his sleep – in the bed he was sharing with 4 dogs.

    He and his compatriots have completely lost the plot. It would be funny if they didn’t have such a large and rabid following. Instead it’s sad and terrifying.

      That’s pretty much it. They glom onto something they read, interpret it with their myopic world view, and boom, newt theory comes out that goes out to socmed and all the other non-thinkers, and the idea takes hold. People just don’t want to think any more. We’ll be the death of us yet.

    I’d sooner credit Tucker Carlson for the invention of dumbasses.

    This is what Tucker has to do these days just to get people like us to talk about him again. He used to have the prime time FOX slot. Now he hosts a show on Twitter (formally X). That’s like going from sold out stadium shows to headlining a half empty ballroom on a cruise ship.

    What other weird beliefs does Tucker have? Where does he think microwaves go when you open the door?

    If he really believes that, he is literally insane.

    For the record, I’m pro-Tucker’s demon. Good job demon.

    ““What was the moment we can point to that nuclear technology was invented? I’ve never met a person who can isolate the moment where nuclear technology became known to man. German scientists in the 1930s? Really? Name the date?”

    Tell me you haven’t seen Oppenheimer without telling me you haven’t seen Oppenheimer.
