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.

    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…”

      He’s preaching to an audience that genuinely believes that gay people are gay because they have demons inside them. Logic and reason have left this conversation many, many moons ago.

    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…

    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.

    ““What was the moment we can point to that nuclear technology was invented? I’ve never met a person who can isolate the moment where nuclear technology became known to man. German scientists in the 1930s? Really? Name the date?”

    Tell me you haven’t seen Oppenheimer without telling me you haven’t seen Oppenheimer.

    This is what Tucker has to do these days just to get people like us to talk about him again. He used to have the prime time FOX slot. Now he hosts a show on Twitter (formally X). That’s like going from sold out stadium shows to headlining a half empty ballroom on a cruise ship.

    What other weird beliefs does Tucker have? Where does he think microwaves go when you open the door?
