Former Fox News political commentator Tucker Carlson appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show via SiriusXM to discuss the latest developments leading up to the 2024 election.
Tucker Carlson accuses Tim Walz of being a pervert: āI lived in a boys dorm in a New England boarding school in the 1980s with a lot of guys like Tim Walz. I saw that guy and I said, āyouāre a creeper,ā as we used to call them. For sure.ā pic.twitter.com/f9KctllrCl

During the segment, Carlson focused on Kamala Harrisā running mate, Governor Tim Walz, calling him a “creeper.” Carlson admitted he had no evidence to back up his claim but insisted he recognized Walzās type based on his own experiences attending a New England boarding school in the 1980s.

Carlson began the interview with his usual self-effacing tone, claiming, “Iām not a political actor. Iām not good at it, I donāt really understand politics. Most of my predictions are wrong.” This statement came in response to whether he played a role in brokering a meeting between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump.
Carlsonās comments, especially his use of the term “creeper,” sparked backlash on Twitter, where users criticized his insinuation about Walz.

Quite an accusation from a prep school kid who probably doesn’t know Walz at all, yet has decided on the basis of his own privileged upbringing that a kid raised in a small farming community who joined the National Guard and worked as a teacher and coach is somehow a “creeper.”

Both Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who also made her career at Fox News, have become known for trolling liberals. Since leaving Fox, Carlson has expanded his reach with his own show on X (formerly known as Twitter). Kelly, too, has carved out a similar career path after her departure from the network.
During the interview, Kelly brought up Trumpās running mate, JD Vance, and the negative media coverage he has faced. Carlson admitted that he pushed Vance to make the viral “childish cat ladies” comments, saying:
“I have a tendency to get over my skis and get mean, and I regret that. Itās very ugly. Iām ashamed of the many, many times Iāve said nasty things like that.”
However, Carlson quickly shifted the conversation back to Walz, doubling down with his “creeper” remark and suggesting, without evidence, that Walz might be a pervertāanother example of Carlsonās signature provocative style.
