After being outsmarted by a comedian and out danced by a football player, Tucker Carlson has nothing to do but cause trouble on MSNBC. Blame Jon Stewart.
Wearing a normal tie and repeating “I’m not gay” about a dozen times, Tucker Carlson retells his own Larry Craig story to Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough:
Huh? You and a friend beat up someone up in a DC bathroom? That doesn't sound like a story you want to stick with.
Tucker's new version after the jump.
Let me be clear about an incident I referred to on MSNBC last night: In the mid-1980s, while I was a high school student, a man physically grabbed me in a men’s room in Washington, DC. I yelled, pulled away from him and ran out of the room. Twenty-five minutes later, a friend of mine and I returned to the men’s room. The man was still there, presumably waiting to do to someone else what he had done to me. My friend and I seized the man and held him until a security guard arrived.
What happened to slamming his head against the bathroom stall? That was the best part of the story! And where did the security guard come from? Wasn’t it a cop before?
Which ever version Carlson is telling, GLAAD is calling for an apology from NBC news.
Whether Abrams and Scarborough were laughing with Carlson or laughing at him, the fact remains that MSNBC and NBC News have some explaining to do about their standards and practices.
Well to be fair to Abrams and Scarborough, laughing at Tucker Carslon is so easy.
UPDATE: MSNBC edits out Tucker Carlson's "anti-gay" comments. [Queerty]
