Tim Walz looks ‘super, super gay’ and someone should just ask him whether he is homosexual, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson has claimed.
The maverick broadcaster said no one should be offended by the question given the Democrats‘ insistence that homosexuality is ‘morally superior to being heterosexual’.
Carlson made the wild suggestion during an interview with DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering about his new book, Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House.
Spiering told Carlson that there is zero evidence to support questions about Walz’s sexuality but the firebrand podcast insisted that the flamboyant mannerisms of Kamala’s VP pick made him appear gay.
‘If there’s nothing wrong with being gay, then why would it be somehow crazy or out of bounds or taboo or offensive for me to say to Tim Walz “You seem gay. Are you gay?” Carlson asked.
‘But you know as well as I do that if I had an employer, which I don’t, I would immediately be fired.’
Carlson, who was fired by Fox in April last year, admitted he had no evidence for claiming that the Democrats’ VP pick is gay beyond his exuberant stage presence and ‘jazz hands’ waving to keyed-up supporters.
‘I’m just saying the guy looks super, super gay to me,’ he said.
‘But they’re the ones always running around being like “It’s great to be gay.”
‘Okay, if it’s great 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 be like, “Hey, Tim Walz, are you gay? Have you ever slept with dudes?”‘
Carlson contrasted Walz’s demand that the government ‘stay the hell out of your bedroom’ with his insistence that homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of.
‘They’re so private? Really?’ he demanded.
‘You’ve got a LGBTQ plus parade in San Francisco, New York, Seattle, every big city in the country people having sex in the street, so it’s not private,’ he claimed.
‘They’re telling my kids constantly that it’s a good thing, so there’s nothing private or forbidden or taboo about it now, right? Just to be clear.’
Carlson has previously accused Democrats of being so homophobic that the Minnesota Governor feels unable to reveal his true sexuality.
‘I’m never going to take another lecture about gay rights from these people,’ he told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show last week.
Carlson insisted he was not really interested in the 60-year-old’s sexuality but claimed ‘they’re not allowing me’ to drop the subject.
‘He’s the one who ran a gay-straight alliance where he’s talking to children about their sex lives,’ Carlson said.
‘So right there, that’s a criminal offense in my book. You don’t get to talk to other people’s kids about their sex lives period, freak, right? But there he’s bragging about it okay?’
Spiering, whose biography of Harris, ‘Amateur Hour’, examines how the San Francisco socialite turned politico fast-tracked her way onto the national stage, agreed that the Democrat ticket would blackball any reporters with a record of asking pointed questions.
Carlson said he would stop probing Walz’s sexuality if the Democrats stopped campaigning on contentious personal issues.
‘I want to stop talking about our sex lives actually 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, shut up about abortion, about your sex life, about your race.
‘That’s the world that I want to live in but they’re not allowing me to live in that world.
‘So as long as they’re not allowing me to live in that world why am I playing along with rules that are rigged against me?’
