Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel has taken aim at Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson over his coverage of the possibility that COVID-19 may have leaked from a lab in China. Kimmel criticized Carlson for ignoring the fact that there is no definitive evidence to support either theory on the virus's origins. Kimmel also argued that blaming China for the virus had led to anti-Asian sentiment and violence in the United States. Kimmel then accused Carlson of accusing him of reading talking points from foreign governments, calling him a "loathsome, un-American Moscow mule." Carlson has been a vocal critic of China's handling of the pandemic and has advocated for a thorough investigation into the origins of the virus.
