During the rally Carlson, who has three adult daughters, compared the US under Trump to a naughty girl being disciplined by her father. “If you allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door and give you the finger, you’re going to get more if it,” Carlson said. “There has to be a point at which Dad comes home.” At this point the crowd erupted into raucous cheers.

“Dad comes home and he’s pissed,” Carlson continues. “He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them … And when Dad gets home, you know what he says? You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl, and it has to be this way.”

I mean… What. In. The. Fuck. Carlson just gave himself an erection in front of a crowd.

    If this comment was made in a workplace I’d reach out to HR and make sure they were canned - this would absolutely qualify as creating a hostile workplace and the targeted employee might even be able to pursue the offender independently in court.

    Public statements have a different threshold and public figures have less protections from this kind of speech and sexualization but… this shit being acceptable to conservative voters is just more reinforcement of how divorced from common sense and reality they fucking are.

      Yep, if someone is into spanking. More power to them. But sexually harassing others by projecting your sexual fetishes on to them. That’s not acceptable.

      If Tucker really wants to be cuckolded that way. He has the money to pay for it and better venues with willing partners to find it in. That isn’t American public politics.

    Once again, a “conservative” obsessed with controlling women. This party needs to be voted out of relevance…

    The word “weird” gets overused a lot but this is weird as fuck. Pretty creepy.

      What, you don’t “vigorously spank” your 15-year-old daughter while calling her “a bad little girl”? Typical snowflake libtard.

      It felt gross even writing that.

    WTAF is wrong with these people?

    Like, dude, all cool if this is the fetish that you beat off to every night—not that I really need to know this.

    But, if not, holy shit, seek help…

    By the way, in his fucked-up world, all of normal America are the ones that need the spanking, not just Harris. He somehow thinks it is normal America that is out of line, not his jackass fanbois that were doing things like domestic terrorism on J6.

    I mean, their dear leader has publicly outright said that he’d have sex with his daughter. It’s unfortunately becoming normal for them to say the quiet parts out loud. And I’d wager that these are the “tame” quiet parts. Wait until they feel fully unencumbered to speak their true mind. Now that freaks me out just thinking about it.

      what freaks one person is entertainment for another, and when these idiots (turnup and biden 2) are involved it doesn’t stop being funny until rights are removed and people are bombed.

    This is a level of sexism and, frankly, creepy shit that should just not be tolerated at all. What kind of consequences could actually discourage this kind of behavior, I wonder?

      Civilized places outlaw corporeal punishments of children. So jail should be the thing disuading crazies from engaging in it.

        It’s fucking wild how deeply so many people believe you not only should be allowed to physically assault children as a disciplinary measure, but that NOT beating kids is the problem in the world
