Tucker Carlson has been accused of homophobia and being cruel after joking about changing the name of monkeypox.
On his Thursday night show, the Fox News host joked about the decision to change the name of the disease as cases continue to be concentrated among the gay community.
In early June, a group of scientists, many based in Africa, issued a position paper calling for a name change for the disease to avoid the negative impact it was having on people from different communities.
"We propose a novel classification of MPXV (Monkeypox Virus) that is non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing and aligned with best practices in naming of infectious diseases in a way that minimizes unnecessary negative impacts on nations, geographic regions, economies and people and that considers the evolution and spread of the virus," the paper read.
Carlson also shared a clip from his show on his Twitter page, where he said that, due to a popular vote following a poll, monkeypox will now be known as "Schlong Covid."
"Monkeypox is about the coolest name for a disease, 'can't come today I've got the monkey,'" Carlson said.
"But they are changing the name because of racism or something. Well for once, we don't know who they are and we are not going to allow it.
"We are going to change the name this time, we are going to do it with the public's help because democracy is real.
"So we had a vote, there was no ballot harvesting, you can trust our counting and the new name for monkeypox is now officially, and we are declaring it, Schlong Covid.
"That won our audience election result with about 40 percent of the votes.
Other names that were offered in the vote included Hunter Hives, Midterm Variant and Adam Schiffilis.

Homophobia is a made-up pseudo-psychological word used by morons to attempt to intimidate those who are tired of putting up with alphabet peoples’ BS. Homonauseous is generally more accurate, sick of putting up with all the nonsense.
I like Pride Pox, but Schlong Covid, which I believe was the winner, will do.
“Slammed” is MSM-speak for “got bitched at by libs on Twitter.”
A disease by any other name

That’s Rush Limbaugh level trolling. 🤣
