Tucker Carlson Calls GOP Gov. 'Creepy' for Sharing Pronouns

Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) has seemingly responded to a tongue-lashing from Tucker Carlson, although he took the passive-aggressive approach. He liked a tweet calling the Fox News host a “white nationalist” favored by Vladimir Putin.

In a segment Wednesday, Carlson said Utah’s leaders are failing to represent their conservative constituents. He also shredded Cox for using his gender pronouns during a conversation with a teenager.

The Fox News host shared a video with his audience, wherein Cox said to a girl, “Well, thank you so much Debbie for that, that question… My preferred pronouns are he him, and his. So thank you for sharing yours with me.”

Carlson ripped Cox as a “creepy” liberal, and speculated his brain is owned by special interest groups.

“What a creepy guy,” he said. “Spencer Cox identifies as a male, at least to some limited extent. Cox could’ve cleared up that mystery a lot more quickly simply by declaring, ‘I’m a man.’ Instead, he went full hostage video.”

Carlson also equated Cox to a “cut-rate Gavin Newsom imitator,” and asked, “What exactly is the market for superfluous pronouns in Utah? Pretty limited. You would think most people in Utah don’t need be told, yet somehow Spencer Cox is their governor.”

Cox did not directly respond to the attack.

But on Twitter, Utah’s Republican governor appeared to endorse the idea that Carlson is a “White nationalist.”

A Twitter user shared a snapshot of Carlson’s attack, and commented, “When Putin’s favorite white nationalist dislikes you, you’re probably doing something right.”

Cox liked the tweet.

The governor also liked the following tweet, in which someone else defended him from Carlson.
