Fox Host Tells Viewers To Confront Mask-Wearing Strangers
Fox News host Tucker Carlson is under fire after he encouraged his millions of viewers to confront strangers who choose to wear masks in public and call 911 if they see children who are wearing a mask.
Carlson claims that mask-wearers are the aggressor and that they should be confronted as science shows that wearing a mask is pointless.
“So the next time you see someone in a mask on the sidewalk or on the bike path, do not hesitate. Ask politely but firmly, ‘Would you please take off your mask? Science shows there is no reason for you to be wearing it. Your mask is making me uncomfortable,’” Carlson said.

Many blasted Carlson for his dangerous remarks and called on Fox to fire him.
“This is really, really dangerous,” former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa tweeted. “Listen to his tone of voice, and what he’s instructing. He’s moving from his viewers passively consuming his propaganda to having them act on it — against their neighbors. He’s testing his audience’s compliance.”
Tucker Carlson is an embarrassment and a threat to public health
