Tucker Carlson Resorts to Insinuating Tim Walz Is Gay on The Megyn Kelly Show
Tucker Carlson resorted to insinuating Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is gay during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show on Wednesday, arguing that Walz would come out of the closet if the Democratic Party was truly accepting of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The claim came after host Megyn Kelly mused, “Tim Walz has got, I mean, talk about not having control over one’s emotions or one’s body,” and played a clip of Walz clapping and gesticulating at a rally.
“I’m just going to say: I don’t know any man who behaves like that,” said Kelly.
“Come on. I mean, come on. It’s so, it’s so — I’m just trying to control myself because I, You know, I don’t want to be mean and also I don’t want to say things I can’t prove, but like, let’s, let’s be real,” began Carlson. “Let me just say, not connected necessarily to Tim Walz, I’m never going to take another lecture about gay rights from these people, like, ‘Oh, you hate gays and you keep them all in the closet or whatever.’ Any party — you know, stop with the, with the lectures about that stuff. Do you know what I mean? If you’re so for, in general, if you’re so for gay rights then that would mean that any member of your party who’s gay would feel free to say so in public and would not be pretending not to be gay. I’m just saying. You know what I mean? Like, I hate the falseness of it!”

He continued:
And by the way, last thing I’ll say is: I don’t want to be mean, and I really think that people’s private lives can be private if they want them to be private. I don’t think you should have to announce everything you’re into in public. I believe in privacy, I really do. I don’t think we should bother people on the basis of their private lives, I mean that, so. But they just push so hard. They’re the ones who get into other people’s private lives, lecturing your kids about sex and stuff that should be private. You know what I mean? Putting condoms on bananas. It’s not your-, just stay away! Let me have a private life. You can have a private life. Let’s stop talking about other people’s sex lives, other people’s sexual orientations. Let’s just all agree to shut up about that, okay? I would be happy with that arrangement.
Walz has two children with his wife of 30 years.
You think you dislike Kamala Harris? Not half as much as her fellow Democrats do. Charlie Spiering wrote the book on it.
