The topic came up during Wednesday’s episode of Carlson’s eponymous talk show when he mentioned a story from The Daily Mail about a female assault victim who was convicted of a hate crime after calling her attacker a “f**got” in text messages to a friend. The article said the 34-year-old woman, Elizabeth Kinney, had to pay a fine and was sentenced to serve a “12-month community order” among other penalties.Arguing that “you’re allowed to be homophobic if you want in a free country,” Carlson then bluntly asked Morgan, “Would you say the word ‘f**got’ on camera?”The TV host, who said he hadn’t heard about the story, quickly replied, “No.” “Why? You don’t want to get arrested, do you?” Carlson prodded.Morgan began to respond before the conservative political commentator scoffed and interjected, “Ohhh, because it’s so harmful to people? Is it like gay-bashing? What’s wrong with that?”The “Piers Morgan Uncensored” host argued that you don’t need to say “derogatory stuff” about the LGBTQ community to “make the point that women’s rights should be protected.” Morgan flipped the question back to Carlson, asking him whether he would use the word. “F**got? I just did,” Carlson shot back, before spewing out the word a few more times. “I’m using it because you’re not allowed to because you’re ...”“I am allowed to [use it], I don’t want to,” Morgan replied. “I’m allowed to, I just choose not to.” Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan during an episode of "The Tucker Carlson Show" that aired on Wednesday.The disgraced former Fox News host then declared that he’s not “anti-gay” and “never [has] been,” adding, “I can use any freaking word I want.” “How about this? Let my life, the way that I actually live and treat people be the testament to my heart. That’s how I feel. And if I’ve mistreated someone that is a sin —,” Carlson continued. Morgan interrupted, telling him that he doesn’t believe that Carlson would use the word directly to a gay person’s face. “Not in a mean way,” Carlson responded. “Just like the only people who say the ‘N-word’ are Black. Period.” Carlson noted that he’s “spent a lot of time around gays” while working in the TV news industry, and he alleged that “they’re the only ones” that have ever used the word “constantly.” “But I’m not allowed to use it, but you are?” Carlson questioned. “I don’t play those games, dude.” Carlson, who was fired from Fox News in April 2023, has a history of pushing inflammatory conspiracy theories and making defamatory remarks, including sending a racist message to a producer in the hours following the violent January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The political pundit claimed that “being racist is not a crime” in his biography, “Tucker, by Chadwick Moore,” that was released in July 2023. “Maybe [it is] a moral crime, but not a statutory crime — so if I was racist, I would just say so,” he added.
