Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s call to publicly harass people wearing masks during the novel coronavirus pandemic shocked CNN host John Berman, who questioned whether Carlson even wanted his viewers to live.
The CNN host played a clip of Carlson’s show on Monday night encouraging viewers to go on the offensive against mask wearers in their communities in order to “restore the society we were born into.”
“The next time you see someone in a mask on the sidewalk or on the bike path, don’t hesitate, ask politely but firmly, would you please take off your mask?” Said Carlson. “Science shows that there is no need for you to wear it. Your mask makes me uncomfortable. “
Berman pointed out that many people still wear masks because just over a quarter of the country has been fully vaccinated to date, meaning hundreds of millions of people are still potentially susceptible to infection if everyone walks around without a mask.
Berman also linked Carlson’s masquerade with his regular flirtation with anti-vaccination propaganda, for example when he asked earlier this month whether the vaccines were really effective.
“If you don’t want a mask … maybe you don’t throw away any vaccines,” Berman said. “I’ve asked that before: does he really want his viewers to live?”
