Al Jazeera
Pentagon officials condemn remarks by Fox News host Tucker Carlson calling appointments of two female generals ‘a mockery’.
The Pentagon strongly rebuked Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson on Thursday for calling the rise of women in the US military “out of control” and a “mockery” of its war-fighting mission. Spokesman John Kirby said Defense Department Secretary Lloyd Austin and other top officers shared deep “revulsion” over Carlson’s comments on Tuesday, which accused President Joe Biden of making US defence forces “more feminine”. Carlson “essentially demeaned the entire US military and how we defend and how we serve this country”, Kirby told reporters.
