WASHINGTON, DC: Tucker Carlson stirred controversy this week with inflammatory remarks targeting female politicians, arguing against the notion that women leaders contribute to global peace.
In an episode of his show, Carlson, alongside right-wing figure Jack Posobiec, asserted, "We haven’t seen big successes from female leaders," adding, "And I say that as a lover of women."
Carlson Tucker's controversial assertions and historical comparisons
Carlson Tucker challenged the idea that female leadership fosters peace, claiming, "You’ve seen exactly the opposite. The Ukraine war was driven by a woman, actually,” Carlson said to Victoria Nuland, former US undersecretary for political affairs, without elaborating on his reasoning.
His critique extended to prominent women in American politics, describing Hillary Clinton as "the most bloodthirsty person I’ve ever seen on the public stage" and labeling Madeleine Albright a "total ghoul" and a "nasty, stupid person."
Carlson defended his views by stating, "I’m a free man, And I just don’t see any evidence that female leadership is more likely to get us to peace than male leadership—I see the opposite of it."

"When Kamala says, you know, we’re ‘unburdened by the past,’ what she’s really saying is ‘welcome to Kampuchea,’" Carlson said, referring to the official name of Cambodia under Khmer rule.
He also claimed it was "clearly the goal" to throw out "all of our standards and norms and traditions" and start at "Year Zero."
The discussion, characterized by Carlson’s provocative assertions and Posobiec’s questionable historical comparisons, ignited a wave of criticism and backlash.
