Tim Walz looks “super, super gay” and someone should just ask him if he is, claims former Fox News star Tucker Carlson.
The opinionated broadcaster said no one should be offended by the question given Democrats’ insistence that homosexuality is “morally superior to being heterosexual” during an interview with DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering about his new book.
Carlson blasted the media for not asking Kamala Harris if she had ever had an abortion, given her interest in the subject.
“If there’s nothing wrong with being gay, why would it be somehow crazy, forbidden, taboo, or offensive to say to Tim Walz, ‘You look gay.’ Are you gay?’
“But you know as well as I do that if I had an employer, which I don’t, I would be fired immediately.”

Democrat’s VP pick is mocked for his exuberant stage presence and ‘jazz hands’
Carlson, who was fired by Fox last April, admitted he had no evidence to claim the Democrats’ VP pick is gay, aside from his exuberant stage presence and “jazz hands” waving at excited supporters.
“I’m just saying the guy looks super, super gay,” he said in a conversation with DailyMail.com’s Charlie Spiering.
“But they’re the ones always running around saying, ‘It’s great to be gay.’
“Okay, if it’s great to be gay, why is it an attack on him when I say that? And why should it be illegal to say, “Hey, Tim Walz, are you gay? Have you ever slept with guys?”
Carlson contrasted Walz’s demand that the government “stay out of your bedroom” with his insistence that homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of.
“They’re so private? Real?’ he asked.
“You have an LGBTQ+ parade in San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and in every major city in the country people are having sex in the streets, so it’s not private,” he claimed.
“They tell my kids all the time that it’s a good thing, so there’s nothing private or forbidden or taboo about it now, right? Just to be clear.’

Carlson has previously accused Democrats of being so homophobic that the Minnesota governor feels unable to reveal his true sexuality.
“I’m never going to give these people a gay rights lecture again,” he told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show last week.
Walz has been married for 30 years, has two children with his wife Gwen Whipple and has never suggested he is gay.
However, he was a strong supporter of LGBT rights and was a faculty advisor for the first-ever “gay-straight alliance” group at Mankato West High School in the 1990s.
Carlson insisted he wasn’t really interested in the 60-year-old’s sexuality, but claimed “they won’t let me” drop the subject.
“He’s the one who ran a gay-straight alliance where he talks to kids about their sex lives,” Carlson said.
“So there, I think that’s a criminal offense. You’re not supposed to talk to other people’s kids about their sex lives, freak, right? But that’s where he’s bragging, okay?’
Spiering, whose biography of Harris, “Amateur Hour,” explores how the San Francisco socialite quickly entered the national stage politically, agreed that the Democratic ticket would screw over any reporters with a reputation for asking pointed questions.
“Interviewing a presidential candidate is now a privilege granted to you,” he confided. “And you have to show that you are worthy in some respects.”
Carlson said he would stop investigating Walz’s sexuality if Democrats stopped campaigning on controversial personal issues.
“I actually want to stop talking about our sex lives immediately, and I want the State Department to stop forcing other people in other countries to talk about their sex lives,” he explained.
“I don’t want to hear about your abortion; I don’t want you to talk about abortion, to keep quiet about abortion, about your sex life, about your race.
“That’s the world I want to live in, but they won’t let me live in that world.
“So as long as they don’t allow me to live in that world, why do I play along with rules that are rigged against me?”
