Watch Fox News Idiot Tucker Carlson Call Australians “Peasants” & Claim We’re Under Martial Law

Far-right Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has made some wildly ridiculous claims about mask rules in Australia and named us all “peasants”. Um, rude.

In a tirade under the banner “MORE INSANITY OUT OF AUSTRALIA”, Carlson responded to a statement by Dan Andrews from one of the billion press conferences the premier has held in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

During the press conference, Andrews said, “There will be no removal of masks to consume alcohol outdoors. So you will no longer be able to remove your mask to drink a cocktail, at a pop-up beer garden on a footpath as part of a pub crawl.”

Andrews was of course clarifying that Victorians should not find ways around the closure of pubs and bars by instead drinking from pop-up bars.

But Carlson simply declares that we are under a state of martial law, and says “Now, the peasants of Australia have to find a way to drink alcohol through their masks.”

Needless to say, he was dragged mercilessly.

But we don’t have sidewalks in Australia.

Did Carlson miss the press release that requires us to wear bobbing corks on our masks, because, y’all know, they are our first line defence again Covid in Oz. Stands to reason. If they keep flies away from the face, must work for Covid as well.

When I heard it from Dan during the press conference. I spat my mojito straight into my mask. Unbelievable.
