Tucker Carlson Rallies to Demon Sperm Doc’s Defense
Fox News host Tucker Carlson continued his contrarian stance on the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday night, defending a viral video of fringe doctors peddling COVID-19 falsehoods and claiming the group was only attacked because they criticized the “sainted” Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Hours after President Donald Trump doubled down on his support for the doctors—including eccentric pediatrician Dr. Stella Immanuel , who has previously said “demon sperm” causes gynecological ailments—Carlson kicked off his primetime program by railing against social media platforms for cracking down on the video’s disinformation.
The video, livestreamed by far-right digital outlet Breitbart on Monday, featured a press “summit” funded by right-wing political group Tea Party Patriots . Prior to being taken down by Facebook, the video racked up nearly 20 million views on Monday evening. Besides claiming controversial anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine could prevent and even “cure” coronavirus, “America’s Frontline Doctors” also said masks and social distancing were unnecessary to prevent the spread of the virus.
Claiming that there’s an “incentive” for Democrats to have coronavirus cause “more damage” as it hurts Trump politically, the Fox News star tied the removal of the video to the 2020 presidential election, claiming it was only taken down because Trump retweeted it and that “enraged Democrats.”
After comparing social media companies to “Chinese authorities,” Carlson told his viewers that he works for “one of the very few mass media companies” not controlled by Google and Facebook and therefore would show them clips from the video.
Reiterating his belief that the video was only removed to help presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden win, Carlson aired comments from Immanuel excitedly declaring that the “cure for COVID” is hydroxychloroquine.
“Dr. Immanuel’s claim is harder for us to endorse,” Carlson said. “Is hydroxychloroquine part of the cure for the coronavirus? We don’t know the answer. We do know that many front-line physicians around the world have prescribed hydroxychloroquine and continue to prescribe it.”
Recent studies and trials, however, have shown that the anti-malaria drug is not effective in preventing or treating coronavirus. The Federal Drug Administration has also rescinded emergency use for the medication as a treatment, citing potential deadly side effects.
After saying the “science is not settled” on the drug—Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel would tell Carlson later in the program that hydroxychloroquine has shown little benefit—the Fox host claimed Immanuel was facing backlash because she criticized Fauci, the face of the White House’s coronavirus task force.
“That clip enraged them. Because above all, you must never mock the sainted Anthony Fauci,” Carlson said after airing Immanuel’s anti-Fauci remarks. “Under no circumstances can you note that Dr. Fauci is, in fact, very often a hypocritical buffoon who refuses to admit what he clearly doesn’t know.”
“If you say that out loud they will cancel you,” he continued. “Fauci is too useful to the Biden campaign, so until November, Fauci’s word must be law even if it doesn’t make sense. Criticize Fauci and you will disappear from the internet.”
Besides taking more gratuitous shots at Fauci, Carlson also took aim at this publication for reporting on Immanuel’s many bizarre claims, such as her beliefs that doctors use “alien DNA” in medications and that the government is overrun by “reptilian” aliens.
“Google’s countless toadies online did the cleanup work, the ugly stuff,” Carlson groused. “The Daily Beast attacked Dr. Immanuel for getting her medical degree in Africa and then suggested she believed in witchcraft—because you know Africans do that, right?! Huh.”
He went on to claim that while the Beast is fine with “political correctness” most of the time, this outlet was “happy” to help destroy Immanuel because it is an election season.
The Houston-based pediatrician and minister appeared unfazed, however, even publicly thanking this outlet for doing a "great job summarizing" her work.
Carlson’s shot at The Daily Beast comes just a few weeks after this publication reported that Fox News staffers have become incensed over the racist rhetoric and “white supremacist crap” aired nightly on his show. And earlier this month, Carlson went on a “pre-planned vacation” days after his head writer resigned when he was outed as an outspoken racist.

Interesting that Tucker and the far right lemmings would put such confidence in someone that got her degree from "From some 3rd world S#!t-Hole."
It's a blatant display of confirmation bias.

I'm tired of your nonsense instagram posts.
I hope you're flagging them. I will if you don't want to
He posts instagram links because thinking may be a bridge to far.

Just like the social media progressives love to censor what they complain about. The pro HCQ doctors were right. They should not have been censored. Congresspersons should have grilled them harder about this bigotry yesterday than they did. Long live HCQ and it’s advocates! Hydrochloroquiene forever!
You really need to learn the difference between corporate censorship and government censorship.
For someone who brags about how much he loves the Constitution and America and knows every word of the Constitution, you actually know very little
So these quack doctors are victims of censorship and repression? How is it censorship to remove blatant propaganda and lies?
The video of them is everywhere, they are speaking their message, can that really be described as "censorship"? Just like young earthers, flat earthers and other hilariously foolish morons, their message is being exposed and condemned for the horse shit it is. That is not censorship, it's simply the vast majority of public opinion rejecting mentally incompetent conspiracy theorists.
Besides, unless it's government censorship, it's not only completely legal, it's every private citizens right and freedom to reject ignorant proposals and ideas. And if they own media companies they have every right to reject being used as platform or soapbox for some vile dumb ass to spit their poison.
Sort of like waking up with a 'hard on' and not know whose it was-----or something like that, MAGA whatever?
I have more contempt for corporate gate keeping, fact checking, and censorship/ content control even than I do of state, local, or federal governments doing it. It is intellectually lazy and morally evil regardless of who does it, how it is done, or where it is done. There is no rational or legitimate justification for it anywhere
It was neither lies nor propaganda.
And yet the mainstream media does that for secular progressives every day...
I suppose even sunlight would be considered "poison" to a virus. Secular progressives are merely shining a light on the corrupt puss filled infectious underbelly of right wing conservative ideology, so no doubt those being uncovered would be upset by having their sick ideology exposed and sanitized.
You're wrong. If you don't like corporations control or censor, then don't buy their products. Jesus Christ! I thought you were a capitalist!
Of course it was. You repeating the same statement over and over again, does not make it so.
He also disagrees with fact checking!
So you have no problem with 'government censorship' but you do with private companies' control over their own business???????????????
They do not 'control' internet traffic. You still OBVIOUSLY don't get what a monopoly is.
He obviously is only trying to pull your chain and piss you off. And if he really don't know the difference, all your efforts are useless. Just ignore it and move on.
He also disagrees with fact checking!
He probably won't even watch Dragnet because of the catch phrase..."Just the facts mamn/sir, just the facts."
It appears tRump supporters take the word of this witch doctor/quack over an experienced doctor/scientist/researcher.
It goes along with their Alien DNA conspiracy theories.....
They promote this fraud while calling Fauci a liar and know-nothing. Typical of much of the GOP. It shows how much they accept Trumps lies over anyone who speaks the truth.
We do. We stand by HCQ. Period. It is an effective early treatment for China flu
Don't know what it does for the China flu, but it has proven ineffective, and even deadly, against Covid-19.

This quack witch doctor claims to have treated hundreds of patients with this and other drugs.
She has a strip mall office in Texas I believe, Sister Mary did some research on it.
Thanks Sister!
It only causes problems if given too late into the disease. If given within seven days of being diagnosed it cuts the death rate of the China virus in half.
There was a lot more than one doctor in that wonderful Breitbart video that social media cowardly censored.
That is demonstrably false and and the scientific literature does not support that assertion. So claiming it's effective when it's not is misleading at best and lying at worst!

This crazy witch is facing criticism because she is a crazy witch.
At this point Voodoo is all they have and it just goes to show how cult like and brainwashed Fox has made people who foolishly embrace and buy into this crap.
Can you even IMAGINE if Obama had embraced a voodoo witch doctor saying idiotic nonsense? Trump is publicly tweeting out support of this literal demon doctor, but when questioned Trump ran away from reporters calling him out on it. When Trump was questioned again he doubled down and repeated support of this nonsense.
I can imagine the racist nonsense that would come spewing out of right wingers mouths
We are going to pit it out in every conservative media outlet so you’ll have to censor all of them in order to shut us up.
I don't give a fuck about conservative media. You go right ahead and tune in to them. Doesn't bother me.

"Demon sperm?" There it is. There you have it. Conservatism defined.
Demon sperm would explain Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr.
