U.S. — Political commentator Tucker Carlson expressed confusion after learning that the Iranian people were protesting their own government, saying he was absolutely dumbfounded as to why they would rebel against the greatest government on the planet.
"Iran is among the greatest governments in the world, only Qatar really comes close — and it's much smaller, obviously," Carlson said. "I'm just completely dumbfounded. The Iranian people are literally voting against their own interests — except that they can't vote, actually — which is a good thing by the way."
Iran's current wave of protests began at the end of December and was reportedly sparked by a collapsing economy. As protests spread across the country, it evolved into a pushback against theocratic authoritarianism and calls for regime change. But according to Carlson, it's really about gay marriage.
"Iran is a beautiful country. I'm looking for property there, myself. Homosexuality is outlawed there, did you know that?" Carlson said in an interview with longtime friend Megyn Kelly. "I don't understand why the Iranian people would protest one of the most conservative countries in the solar system, maybe even the whole universe."
According to inside sources, Kelly didn't quite see eye to eye on the subject but was afraid to say so. Instead, she explained she was now supporting the Iranian government 100% because the protestors didn't like it. "I will not raise the fist," she said. "Even if it's for an obvious good."
At publishing time, Tucker Carlson had purchased a small mansion in Tehran.

Carlson is a boring freelance huckster now.
“Another dumb Bee article. Not even funny.”
Maybe not funny, but it accurately and effectively hits the targets.
gghamari's profile picture gghamari 1d WHY IS ISLAMIC REPUBLIC STATE TV CURRENTLY BROADCASTING TUCKER CARLSON'S ANTI-SEMITIC CONSPIRACY THEORY INTERVIEWS THAT HAVE BEEN DUBBED INTO PERSIAN? THE COUNTRY IS IN A STATE OF CHAOS AND CIVIL WAR. THE REGIME IS BROADCASING TUCKER CARLSON’S ANTI-WEST PROPAGANDA RIGHT NOW.
Yeah, it’s too close to true to be parody.
It's funny lol especially after Tucker praised Russia and Qatar.
There's a funny smell about Tucker. It's turning into a stench.
Shouldn’t this be on Not The Bee? 🤔
Tucker is all about Tucker, he’ll say whatever he has to to get attention.
It reminds me of an old SNL skit with Buck Henry as a radio talk show host, who couldn’t get anyone to call in, so he starts saying more and more outrageous things to try to get people to call in.......”Dead puppies.....I like ‘em!”
Perhaps. But there are so many more relevant targets Tucker could spend his time on, that would get him gobs of attention, but he doesn't do that.
Absolutely funny. *ucker has beclowned himself to the point that even the sub-70 IQ folks (Demoncraps, jihadis, trannies - basically anybody smarter than AOC, have given up attempts to salvage his reputation.
It’s satire.
It doesn’t have to be funny.
It’s a bonus if it is, but that’s not the main point of satire.
“...I’m just completely dumbfounded...”
And has been since the early 1990’s.

Not particularly funny, but tue
Too close to being true to be funny.
“Iran is a beautiful country. I’m looking for property there, myself.”
Well, bye.
Carlson delenda est. Tucker has committed the heresy of rejecting Christian Zionism. As such, he is persona non grata to evangelical operations like The Bee.
