As 2021 starts wrapping things up, CNN’s Jim Acosta is already giving out end-of-year superlatives. He has also given Tucker Carlson the 2021 nickname. “Bulls— Factory Employee of the Year.”
Acosta began by criticizing Fox News as a whole, first mocking Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo’s segment in which Ingraham seemingly did not know about the show “You”Netflix: Turn it into a “Who’s on First” moment. Although viewers were initially confused Arroyo confirmed on his behalf. TwitterIt was pre-planned.
Acosta then turned on Jesse Waters’ coverage of the deadly Astroworld concert tragedy, before eventually turning his ire on Tucker Carlson.
“Tucker Carlson, your suggestion that Kamala Harris isn’t quite American because she spent part of her childhood in Canada has put you over the top,”Acosta spoke. “We once honored you with the distinction of ‘Bulls— Factory Employee of the Month.’ But now that 2021 is coming to an end, we decided to recognize you as our first ever ‘Bulls— Factory Employee of the Year.’ That’s right Tucker, you’ve earned it.”
Acosta added that it wasn’t just Carlson’s digs at Harris that set him apart from the rest.
“You’ve spent the last year peddling vaccine conspiracy theories about Bill Gates, you’ve served as a mouthpiece for white supremacists who embrace the ‘Great Replacement’ theory,”Acosta spoke. “You spread the false flag conspiracy theory that Trump supporters were not responsible for the insurrection on January 6, only to contradict yourself days later.”
Acosta then touched on Carlson’s “latest lowlight”This is his documentary about Kyle Rittenhouse, which was filmed by the crew who followed him through his trial, which ended on Friday with his acquittal of murder charges.
“What makes this so shameful is that you were filming this latest piece of one-sided, right-wing propaganda while Fox was slamming other media outlets for their coverage of the trial.”
Acosta also made a dig at Senator Ted Cruz during the segment. This prompted the Texas Senator to respond on Twitter and call Acosta a clown.
Representatives for Fox News did not immediately respond to ’s request for comment.
