Carlson “proof” was that a producer of his show who is also gay said so. Saying about his producer, "Gays all keep close track of that stuff.” I didn’t know that gay folk all knew each other. I’m sure Tucker Carlsons producer is a well-connected gay person, totally not just a self-hating gay person who hates their community and anyone who is a part of their community who is well known.
Anyone who says to not let politics affect your relationships is incredibly privileged and thinks that politics is just about taxes and different spending habits.
