Tucker Carlson Defended Statutory Rape as Recently as 2015 (Video)
Although Tucker Carlson dismissed criticism of defending statutory rape in tapes unearthed by Media Matter, saying his incendiary comments were made “more than a decade ago,” Monday, The Daily Beast resurfaced a video interview showing the Fox News host making similar arguments as recently as 2015.
“I’m for treating women differently from the way we treat men,” Carlson told Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys, during a podcast interview. “I’m not for playing along at all.”
Carlson argued that there was a difference between statutory rapes committed by men and those committed by women.

“It’s not even in the same universe, actually,” he told McInnes. “There are lots of things you have to play along with in life, and I understand society demands compromises… But there is a limit beyond which I can’t pretend anymore.
