Tim Walz looks “super, super gay” and someone should ask him if he is, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson said.
The maverick broadcaster said no one should be offended by the question given Democrats’ insistence that homosexuality is “morally superior to being heterosexual” during an interview with DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering about his new book.
Carlson criticized the media for not asking Kamala Harris if she ever had an abortion, given her interest in the topic.
“If there’s nothing wrong with being gay, then why would it be in any way crazy or taboo or offensive for me to say to Tim Walz, ‘You look gay’? Are you gay?’ said.
“But you know as well as I do that if I had an employer, which I don’t, I would be fired immediately.”
Tucker Carlson demanded to know why no one had asked Tim Walz if he is gay
The Democratic vice presidential candidate has been mocked for his exuberant stage presence and “jazz hands.”
Carlson, who was fired by Fox in April last year, admitted he had no evidence to claim that the Democrats’ vice president pick is gay beyond his exuberant stage presence and his “jazz hands” waving to excited supporters. .
“I’m just saying the guy seems super, super gay to me,” he said in an interview with DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering, who told Carlson there’s no proof of his claims.
“But they’re the ones who are always going around saying, ‘It’s great to be gay.’
‘Okay, if it’s cool to be gay, then why is it an attack on him for me to say that?’ And why would it be out of bounds to say, “Hey, Tim Walz, are you gay? Have you ever slept with guys?”
Carlson contrasted Walz’s demand that the government “stay out of his bedroom” with his insistence that homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of.
‘Are they that private? Actually?’ he demanded.
“There is an LGBTQ plus parade in San Francisco, New York, Seattle and in all the big cities in the country people have sex in the street, so it is not private,” he said.
‘My kids are constantly told it’s a good thing, so there’s nothing private, forbidden or taboo about it now, is there? Just to be clear.
Carlson’s guest, DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering (pictured), agreed that the Democratic nomination would eliminate any journalists with a history of asking pointed questions.
The Minnesota governor has been a strong supporter of LGBT rights and was a faculty advisor to the first “gay-straight alliance” group at Mankato West High School in the 1990s.
The former geography teacher has been married for 30 years, has two children with his wife, Gwen Whipple, and has never hinted that he is gay.
Carlson previously accused Democrats of being so homophobic that the Minnesota governor feels unable to reveal his true sexuality.
“I will never get a lecture on gay rights from these people again,” he told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show last week.

However, he has been a strong supporter of LGBT rights and was a faculty advisor to the first “gay-straight alliance” group at Mankato West High School in the 1990s.
Carlson insisted he was not really interested in the 60-year-old’s sexuality, but said he was “not allowed” to drop the subject.
“He’s the one who ran a gay-straight alliance where he talks to kids about their sex lives,” Carlson said.
‘So, in my opinion, that is a criminal offence. You can’t talk to other people’s kids about their sex lives, weird, right? But there he is bragging about it, okay?
Spiering, whose biography of Harris, ‘Amateur Hour,’ examines how the San Francisco socialite-turned-politician quickly made her way to the national stage, agreed that the Democratic nomination would eliminate any journalist with a history of asking pointed questions. .
“Interviewing a presidential candidate is now a privilege granted,” he confided. “And you have to prove yourself worthy on a number of issues.”
Carlson said he would stop investigating Walz’s sexuality if Democrats stopped campaigning on contentious personal issues.
“I want to stop talking about our sex life immediately and I want the State Department to stop forcing other people in other countries to talk about their sex lives,” he explained.
‘I don’t want to hear about your abortion; I don’t want you to talk about abortion, to stay silent about abortion, about your sexual life, about your race.
‘That’s the world I want to live in, but I’m not allowed to live in that world.
‘So as long as I’m not allowed to live in that world, why am I following rules that are rigged against me?’
