Tucker Carlson Thinks It Was Just Awesome That A Toddler Fell Into A Cheetah Pen

Tucker Carlson does not endorse dangling a toddler over a cheetah pen. But since it’s already happened and the child survived a fall into the pen, well, that’s a “huge advantage later in life,” according to Carlson. "Emotional problems? He's bulletproof!"

On Fox & Friends this morning, Carlson and his two cohosts discussed a news item about a toddler who fell into a cheetah pen at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. It seems his mother dropped him while holding him over an observation wall.

“I’m just hard-wired to look at the bright side,” Carlson said. “Obviously, it’s pretty irresponsible to dangle a toddler over a cheetah enclosure. On the other hand, the kid survived this. Life is long, it’s hard.  This child, for the rest of his life, can say no matter what happens, ‘I survived being dropped into a cheetah tank.' That’s a huge advantage later in life.”

Carlson’s cohosts were clearly shocked. “Folks at home, are you hearing what Tucker Carlson is saying right now?” Cohost Anna Kooiman exclaimed.

“Just to be clear, I’m not encouraging that anybody drop a kid into a cheetah enclosure. Especially a two-year old. That’s too young,” Carlson said. As if dropping, say, an eight-year old would be better. “But now that it’s already happened and he survived it? It will make him stronger. Literally.”

How Carlson would know such a thing, he never said. However, he continued, “Fired from a job, doesn’t get into college, breaks his arm in a bike accident? ‘I survived a cheetah tank.’ …Emotional problems? He’s bulletproof. How many people do you know who can say I survived a cheetah enclosure at the Cleveland Zoo?”

As for the parents who did this, Carlson said, “They’re not coddling him, anyway, and that’s kind of refreshing.”

Carlson’s final comment was “Here Shamu!” You can probably guess why.

Watch it below, from today’s Fox & Friends.

libsreign, Of course, the parents are to blame. But the focus of the blog is Fox News. I thought the parents’ culpability was implicit in my post.

I always feel the sads for Clayton Morris.
He showed up on Fox one day after a few years of doing a regional Morning Show.

He was hilarious.
But not on Fox. He almost got it going around the shark part….but shut things down immediately.

Now that he’s on Fox and Friends…….
He will be missed.

“Emotional problems? He’s bulletproof.”

Carlson may or may not be right about the toddler later having emotional problems.

Carlson himself, on the other hand . . .

Hmm…perhaps old Tucker should show his support by paying his mom’s legal fees. She’s been charged.

Ellen, Ever thought about attacking the parents? Not a Fox Noise fan, but you are extremely misguided on this one.

It’s too bad the word “sh*t” does start with an X; then Fox could stand for “Full of ____”

Was *ucker Carlson repeatedly dropped on his head as a child? Is this why he’s able to work at Fox without feeling crushing sadness? — I’m just asking.

Carlson also found it "kind of refreshing" that the parents who dangled the two-year old over the pen (and dropped him) "are not coddling him."
