Defense Secretary Reportedly Feels "Revulsion" Over Tucker Carlson's Attack On Women In The Military, Spokesperson Says, "What We Absolutely Won't Do Is Take Personnel Advice From A Talk Show Host"

Tucker Carlson tried to join the Central Intelligence Agency after he graduated from college. Still, his application was denied, so then he pursued his career in propaganda-type journalism on television. What Tucker didn’t do was serve in the military. However, he thinks he’s an expert and declared on his Fox News show that the United States military members have become “too feminine.” From there, things got worse as he mocked women serving in the military. That’s just the type of guy he is, after all.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin wasn’t having any of it, according to CNN. Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said that the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin shared the same “revulsion” that many other military leaders have expressed about Carlson’s highly sexist comments on his show.

“The Secretary certainly shares the revulsion of so many others to what Mr. Carlson said,” Kirby told reporters Thursday, according to the news outlet. Kirby went on to say that the military still had “a lot of work to do” to become “more inclusive, more respectful of everyone — especially women.”

“We pledge to do better, and we will,” Kirby said. “What we absolutely won’t do is take personnel advice from a talk show host or the Chinese military. Maybe those folks feel like they have something to prove. That’s on them.”

Tucker pissed off a lot of members of the military with his crude and juvenile remarks.

Here’s a spot-on example:

After lauding China’s military, Carlson really stepped in it by criticizing women in the U.S. military.

“So we’ve got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars,” he said. “It’s a mockery of the U.S. Military. While China’s military becomes more masculine as it’s assembled the world’s largest navy, our military needs to become as Joe Biden says more feminine, whatever feminine means anymore since men and women no longer exist. The bottom line is it’s out of control, and the Pentagon is going along with this.”

Yes, Tucker, women get pregnant. Very good, little feller! Now, go sit in a corner with your Mr. Potato Head and think about the bad things you said on your show.
