Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “vacuous idiot” who could potentially run for and win the presidency in 2024 if the wealth gap in the United States keeps expanding.
Carlson made the comments during his Friday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” monologue, but preceded it by a suggestion that those “who benefited the most” from the COVID-19 lockdowns — large companies like Walmart, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Netflix and Google — pay for “the effects of those lockdowns” instead of taxpayers who will be negatively impacted by inflation.
