On MSNBC's The Sunday Show, host Jonathan Capehart invited Howard Dean to comment on the news that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given thousands of hours of January 6 video footage to Tucker Carlson.
When Capehart asked Dean for his thoughts on "Fox News having access to all that footage," the ever-exasperated Dean replied:
The fact we're even talking about this right now is a problem . . . You do it because you think it's outrageous and it's going to bump your ratings and make people angry. The problem is, you're also spreading it. Tucker Carlson is a bomb-throwing whack job. Why are we even talking about Tucker Carlson on a respectable news organization? Yes, he has reach. Yes, he's outrageous. I just think that part of this problem is us! We spend too much time with bomb-throwing nut jobs.
And then it seemed Dean might have suffered a problem of mistaken identity:
When Tucker Carlson says something, it's Rupert Murdoch being provocative and undoing a country he never liked in the first place. And why the hell he wanted to be a citizen other than to make money, I have no idea."
For a second there, you might have thought Dean was talking about Ilhan Omar!
And then there was Dean's unintentional humor in calling MSNBC "a respectable news organization." MSNBC—with its assortment of wild and wacky hosts like Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, et. al, and which constantly offers airtime to a parade of far-left wackos—a "respectable news organization?" To quote an excitable former presidential candidate: yea-h-h-h-h!!!
It should be noted that Capehart clearly has a certain grudging respect for Carlson. Pushing back against Dean's suggestion that the liberal media shouldn't cover Carlson, Capehart said that in many ways, Carlson "has more power" than Speaker McCarthy. Capehart also warned that you have to take Carlson seriously because—like Donald Trump in 2016—whom the liberal media literally laughed off, Carlson "could get elected president."
On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, Howard Dean calling Tucker Carlson a "bomb-throwing whack job" that "respectable news organizations" like MSNBC shouldn't cover, was sponsored in part by Verizon, Samsung, USPS, and Abbott, maker of FreeStyle Libre.

Dean just isn’t that smart and fills in the deep holes of his intellect with the standard commie-dem propaganda of the day.
Only cover Democrat whack jobs!
Well, this nutter would definitely know.
“Howard Dean on MSNBC: Tucker Carlson Is a ‘Bomb-Throwing Whack Job’, Don’t Cover Him!”
Howard Dean on MSNBC: I am a ‘Bomb-Throwing Whack Job’, Don’t Cover Me!
