Tucker Carlson defends QAnon backers over proposed bill; sponsor accuses Fox host of inciting fear Follow Us Question of the Day By Andrew Blake - The Washington Times - Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Fox News host Tucker Carlson faced pushback Tuesday from Rep. Stephanie Murphy, Florida Democrat, after slamming her effort to keep sensitive information from Capitol insurrections and QAnon adherents. The conservative commentator and host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” spent a portion of his program the night before criticizing Ms. Murphy‘s recently proposed Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021. Critics of Mr. Carlson quickly accused him of having come to the defense of QAnon, whose proponents adhere to any of a menagerie of discredited fringe conspiracy theories.
