Fox News host Tucker Carlson said President Joe Biden is not telling the truth about his network’s vaccine mandates.
Biden commented weeks ago about the network’s alleged vaccine mandates for all its employees, a claim that Carlson refutes.
“As a factual matter, what Joe Biden just said is completely untrue. It is a lie, period,” Carlson said. “We can say that with authority since we work here.”
Several high-profile media companies have put into place vaccine requirements for full and part-time employees.
Fox News reportedly has significant requirements in place for employees that include regular testing for COVID-19 for unvaccinated employees.
Carlson said that Fox News “defends this country’s most basic civil liberties.”
“To cynical authoritarians like Joe Biden and the ghouls around him, like Susan Rice, that just can’t be genuine,” Carlson said. “They assume the people you see on Fox News must be pretending, pretending for money or prestige or ratings or something else. But they are wrong. We are not pretending at all. It’s real.”
