Watch: Tucker Carlson Fires Back At Former Colleague Who Called For Him To Be Jailed

Tucker Carlson has lashed back at former Fox News colleague Carl Cameron for recent remarks saying the host should be detained or “end up in something worse" for his show’s content.

“Maybe wind up in jail or maybe something worse,” Carlson said Monday, citing a comment made by the former reporter over the weekend to CNN’s Jim Acosta, which slammed the host for spreading false and potentially toxic material.

“What’s ‘something worse?’" Carlson, 53, asked his audience after airing a clip of the remarks from former reporter Cameron, which the host told his audience to take as a threat.

“We’re not sure what ‘something worse’ is - but it certainly feels like we’re moving toward it at a very high speed at this point,” Carlson warned before ominously adding, “That’s the endpoint to talk like that - ‘something worse.’”

Carlson - who has come under fire for comments that Leftist critics say support “The Great Replacement” theory, a racist ideology that allegedly inspired the accused Buffalo mass shooter and New Zealand Mosque killer - went on to slam the left for trying to push a narrative that he is racist.

“Rhetoric has its own internal logic,” Carlson, one of the network’s most prominent voices, said. “We’ve experienced it - we can talk ourselves into things. We’ve all done that.”

He added: “Democrats are doing it right now. And what they’re talking themselves into right now, is, quote, ‘something worse.’ It’s scary.”

The host then seems to offer a grim warning to his Progressive critics. “It is time to pull back, it is time to deescalate – otherwise this is going to get really ugly, really soon.”

Cameron, a longtime fixture at Fox before his sudden departure in 2017, has been highly critical of his former network in recent months, especially its promotion of opinion shows such as Carlson’s Tucker Carlson Tonight and Tucker Carlson Today.

On Monday, Cameron, who blames Fox News and conservative media for the Buffalo shooting, called for government intervention to take Carlson off the air, linking his broadcasts to the trope of falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater.

“The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theater, cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse,” said Cameron, who now runs Progressive news aggregator FrontPage Live.

“The President has to be more forceful and sooner or later the law enforcement and the U.S. government is going to have to stop the lying because it’s causing people's deaths,” he said.

“It's not just Fox, it’s social media in general. It’s on the internet. And we have to remember that a good portion of what we read is coming from folks who aren’t Americans, pretending to be Americans in order to gaslight them even worse."
