Tucker Carlson Fires Back At Chelsea Clinton After She Demands Facebook Ban Him
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has fired back after Chelsea Clinton called for Facebook to ban him simply for questioning why vaccinated individuals must remain adherent to COVID-19 restrictions.
Carlson Sounds Off
âInternationally renowned humanitarian and intellectual Chelsea Clinton has had about enough of this show, so she called today for Facebook to shut us down,â Carlson said on his Fox News show on Thursday night.
âDr. Chelsea Clinton is mad that we asked super obvious questions that everyone in the country should be asking,â he added. âBut no one seems particularly angry to learn the people running this operation are total buffoons who canât even coordinate their own talking points and canât answer the most basic questions.â
âSo does the vaccine, and there are a couple of them, but do they work or donât they work?â Carlson continued. âIt is okay, you can tell us. Well, the CEO of Pfizer came out and seemed to suggest today that actually, the dose that Pfizer is administering doesnât work.â

Carlson Doubles Down
âThe CEO of Pfizer now said two doses probably arenât enough,â he explained. âHe said it is âLikely that people will need a third doseâ of his companyâs coronavirus vaccine within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated. I guess it is nice to know that now. We didnât know that yesterday.â
âWhen Chelsea Clinton was trying to pull us off the air for asking questions that he partly answered,â Carlson concluded. âThank you, CEO of Pfizer, glad to know. The CEO of Pfizer added it is possible people need to get vaccinated against coronavirus every year. Well, that is good to know, too.â
This came after Chelsea took to Twitter to post a screenshot of Carlsonâs monologue from the night before in which he said, âIf the vaccine is effective, there is no reason for people who have received the vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesnât work and theyâre simply not telling you that.â

This did not sit well with Chelsea, who tried to use it to make Facebook ban Carlson.
âIn December, @facebook banned claims about #covid19 vaccines âthat have been debunked by public health experts.â And yetâŠÂ Especially troubling given Republican men are currently most likely to say theyâre not interested in being vaccinated,â Chelsea wrote.
