Ex-Fox News host makes bizarre claim on Steve Bannon’s podcast, days after saying a demon attacked him in his sleep

Demons that Tucker Carlson claimed attacked him as he slept were also responsible for the invention of nuclear technology, the conservative former Fox News host said on Monday in another bizarre contention.

Carlson made the claim on the War Room podcast hosted by his fellow rightwing extremist Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser in the Trump administration who was released from prison last week after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

    This weirdo seems to be crediting all kinds of things to demons lately.

    I was going to ask if he’s OK but obviously he’s not. He’s Tucker Carlson.

    This clip was so weird. Dude just forgot or ignored the Manhattan project. No Tucker, we have amazing documentation on the development of nuclear tech. Oh, and it was one of your dogs that scratched you. Neither are daemonic…

    Every now and then, one of them says something so batshit that I think they must be testing the limits of their con. Like eventually some of their sheep will cognitively process one of these nuggets and say, “hang on a second…”

    This is why we used to have insane asylums, for locking away, people who have lost their minds. Instead, we just let them rant on national television these days and no one bats an eye.

      He’s not asylum insane. He’s an ultra-wealthy narcissistic conman, thus capitalism is designed to reward him the most.

        Fair. I still think people used to have more common sense and avoid taking crazy in public for fear of being looked at as a crazy person or locked up.

        Not that asylums are a viable solution for mental health. I know many people suffered greatly in those types of environments under the guise of psychology.
