WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 29: Fox News host Tucker Carlson discusses ‘Populism and the Right’ during …
On Monday morning the issue of masks to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus was making the rounds on social media – but it was far from a debate.
It began after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday suggested it was “unacceptable,” “dangerous” and even potentially “illegal” for children to be forced to wear face coverings outside.
For the record, the CDC encourages children two years and older to wear a mask when in public or when they are around other people they don’t live with.
Scott Dworkin , founder of the Democratic Coalition, has long been a vocal critic of Carlson.
Among those taking to social media was the account for @Moms4Liberty, which posted, “Moms are watching our children struggle with masks everyday.
“We have a problem when all that people want is to talk but not to listen.
Civil people who are interested in a sincere debate can do so anywhere,” added Bob Jarvis, lawyer and professor of Law at Nova Southeastern University.
I think these facts save Carlson from being charged with incitement – or any other criminal violation and, if charged, protect him from being convicted.
