MEDIA LOSER: Fox's Tucker Carlson
Bryce Mitchell, the UFC fighter who has been celebrated by Tucker Carlson for his comments on Ukraine, believes school shootings are staged by the U.S. government. The star fighter known as “Thug Nasty” recently drew the attention of social media for voicing his thoughts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine during a UFC press conference. Journalist Glenn Greenwald, a regular guest on Tucker Carlson Tonight, shared the clip on Twitter. The clip features Mitchell saying he won't go anywhere to fight wars for politicians, but that if the war comes to Arkansas, he will "will dig my boots in the Arkansas soil, and I will fight for the people that I love." Carlson praised Mitchell’s comments on Monday night, and the fighter appeared on his show on Tuesday, where he reiterated his pledge to not go to Ukraine and fight in its war against Russia. “How do you get to be so honest when everyone else is afraid to say what they think?” Carlson asked Thug Nasty. Mitchell went on to accuse “our leaders” and “a lot of these elites” of treason. He did not elaborate, but such conspiratorial thinking isn’t new for the MMA fighter. Last month, ahead of his fight at UFC Vegas 49 against Edson Barboza, Mitchell appeared for an interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. There, the two got onto the subject of school shootings. “My number one explanation is the government is in a lot of these,” Mitchell said. “They have an agenda, they set up mass shootings and then blame the AR-15s. And say ‘Oh, now we’re coming to take your AR-15s’.” Previously, Mitchell said he believed the government created Covid-19. "I think the coronavirus was made by the government. I think the good government made the damn virus. I think that they infected the people on purpose to cause some type of chaos," he said. "How do you get to be so honest" is what Carlson asked his favorite MMA fighter who thinks school shootings and coronavirus were staged. We have a question, too: Really?? |
