Tucker Carlson took the fake news over the weekend head-on, telling his viewers on Monday that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was not fired by Trump, contrary to the news cycle, and also that McCabe might be guilty of lying to the FBI about leaking information to the press.

At the opening of Carlson’s show on Fox News, he expressed his frustration at how the press handled the Inspector General’s recommendation for McCabe’s firing Friday. As he correctly stated, the mainstream media misled the American people to believe that it was because of the president’s tweet a few hours later that McCabe lost his job one day before his planned retirement.

Carlson’s statement about possible crimes committed by McCabe included his lying to the FBI, even as then-Director James Comey said under oath that he did not authorize any type of communication with the press.
