Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently came under fire for comparing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. During Monday’s episode of his talk show, the reporter claimed that the late pop star shockingly appeared on live television:"Yesterday was Sunday and you may have found yourself on the couch ideally flipping around the TV dial. If you flipped far enough you could have had the shock of your life. Michael Jackson was on Face the Nation.”Tucker Carlson@TuckerCarlsonMichael Jackson was spotted on live television over the weekend.7:21 AM · Jan 11, 2022446867809Michael Jackson was spotted on live television over the weekend. https://t.co/Y9Cc3J3A89Following his statement, Carlson played a clip of Pelosi speaking to Margaret Brennan on the January 9 episode of CBS’ Face of the Nation. He then added:“Let us be clear this was not a video of Michael Jackson performing his hit songs of the 1990s. This appeared to be a living version of the international pop star that news reports claimed died of a drug overdose more than a dozen years ago. Despite those claims, there he was, fully undeniably Michael Jackson talking on television."The controversial comparison left several people disappointed and many even slammed the reporter for his statement.
