Tucker Carlson discusses Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s growing backlash over the coronavirus origins.<\/p>\n
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson ripped Dr. Anthony Fauci for claiming during a recent interview on MSNBC that he has been “following the science” and alleging that so-called “attacks” against him are also aimed at science.<\/p>\n
“This is a perfect distillation of what we just lived through for the past year and a half,” Carlson told “Fox & Friends” Thursday.<\/p>\n
“It is bizarre,” noted Carlson. “He imagines that questioning science is attacking science.”<\/p>\n
After Fauci claimed that science is “under attack,” Carlson pushed back, arguing Fauci “imagines that sincere questions are the same as criticism.” <\/p>\n
“Science is not a book that you check out of the library or look up on Wikipedia. Science is a way of thinking and it begins with deep skepticism about what we think we know. You commit to science when you take nothing for granted, when you ask hard questions,” argued Carlson.<\/p>\n
“We think this works, how do we know <\/i>that it works? That\u2019s <\/i>what science is,” Carlson asserted. “So here is a guy who represents science, who imagines that questions are an attack on science.”<\/p>\n

Carlson continued to rail against Fauci’s “bizarre” claim that “science is under attack.”<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s instantly disqualified himself as a scientist,” Carlson maintained. “You\u2019re a federal bureaucrat. Answer the questions: do masks work? Tell us the truth, where is the study? How do you know they work? That <\/i>is science, those questions.”<\/p>\n
“We commit more science on a talk show in cable news than he does. It\u2019s incredible,” concluded Carlson.<\/p>\n
In his appearance, the Fox News host also touched on other issues plaguing America, namely recent crime surges. In a new Fox Nation special, Carlson and his crew are seen traveling to El Savador to investigate the \u2018death cult\u2019 known as MS-13.<\/p>\n
