Tucker Carlson Slams Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s ‘Pathetic’ Dying Wish.
Carlson was parroting a conspiracy theory initiated earlier in the day on his cable network by President Donald Trump.
“I don’t know that she said that. Or was that written out by Adam Schiff and Schumer and Pelosi?” Trump said on Fox News Monday morning.
“Mr. President, this is low. Even for you,” Schiff fired back on Twitter.
Within hours, other right-wing figures, including Carlson, repeated Trump’s talking point.
