Tucker Carlson mocks Jill Biden: She's a doctor 'in the same sense Dr. Pepper is'

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/530240-tucker-carlson-mocks-jill-biden-shes-a-doctor-in-the-same-sense-dr-pepper-is

"Jill Biden is not a doctor, no," Carlson said on his nightly program. "Maybe in the same sense Dr. Pepper is."

He added Biden has the "same degree as Dr. Bill Cosby."

Meanwhile back on Earth:

Dr. Biden earned her Doctorate in Education from the University of Delaware in January of 2007. Her dissertation focused on maximizing student retention in community colleges. She also has two Master's Degrees — both of which she earned while working and raising a family.

What's wrong with these people? Is it low IQ or trolling? This type of anti-intellectualism from the far right is cancerous.

Big fucking deal. Or if you'd prefer a quote from Peter Griffin...

Why are we talking about Tucker Carlson? He's just a distilled Bill O'Reilly. All the bigotry, none of the pretense.

They appeal to a certain kind of audience, one that Trump has brought out and emboldened. Those who don't live in a factual reality, and who are apathetic about it when confronted.

A right wing commentator who has zero experience with higher education?

I'm shocked.

Probably confuses doctor with physician.

If anything,

The word doctor comes from the Latin word for "teacher," itself from docēre, meaning "to teach."

Hah, the hypocrisy is amazing. 4 years of nothing but trashing everything Milania says or does, and then start crying in full blown triggered snowflake fashion the moment someone even makes a criticism of Jill Biden. Aaw, someone said she isn't a real doctor? So sad, what a tragedy.

@zaryia: anti-intellectuals like to think doctors are the medical kind and that's it, and if you have a PhD in anything other than the medical field you are bogus, wasted your time, and an elitist.

To be fair, if you throw a rock you will hit someone with a PhD these days, but that doesn't make it any less valuable to have and challenging to get, nor does it mean they don't know their shit.

You folks on the right say Carlson is allegedly better than this, but I still don't see it. Dude might have been before he whored himself out to FOX News, but now? Too late to be anything than a pusher of nonsense.

Nah I feel bad for Carlson and anyone that buys into this nonsense lol. Won't speak for anyone else, but I'm not offended by the insult or disrespect, I'm offended by the ignorance and willful stupidity.

Biden has proven herself capable and intelligent, she doesn't need to worry about petty insults.

But the Americans that stoop to that level? Come on, you're better than this...aren't you?

Milania was a terrible first lady btw, come on you can defend Trump but doesn't his disrespect for women pass on to you guys too? Shouldn't you be OK with hating on Milania (especially if she deserves it).

@eoten:

Tell the trumpette snowflakes not to make it a big deal.

Aside from that, this shouldn't be a big deal but is a big deal because you have a bunch of trump snowflakes.

Looks like it is more than just Tucker Carlson who has a problem with this.

This is just so embarassing for humanity.

At least she's not an escort like the present one.

Must be a slow news day when folks are being triggered because of an arbitrary title, nevermind the idea of a news pundit poking fun at it. Then again, it is 2020.

Republicans have no shame.

Did we expect anything different from FoxNews?

Reminder that Tucker Carlson is legally fake news.

Really you are getting upset about this shit. Seriously people have called Republicans much worse from the media outlets and this is what you get your panties in a twist about. Seriously, proven hypocrite again.

This is HILARIOUS! Seriously people, there are better things to talk about then Tucker saying Jill Biden isn't a real doctor. ROFLMAO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Also who gives two shits what Tucker Carlson says, but the thing is he wins because you got your panties in a twist about it.

Who can dislike Carlson? His duh face never fails to amuse.

It's actually funny in a pathetic kind of way.

Jill Biden's doctorate in education is just as valid as Martin Luther King's doctorate in Systematic Theology, yet Tucker Carlson seems to think that a doctorate only applies to a medical profession.

Plus, he can try to downplay her education all he wants, because she could have an associates in psychology and it would still be a step up from the previous 1st lady who isn't know for anything more than posing naked for the world to see. Just laugh at his ranting, because he really doesn't have a leg to stand on at this point

Melania - gold digger that lied about graduating from college. Fox news does nothing but hype her up as an amazing and classy person

Jill - Doctoral degree. Fox news tried to downplay her degree

you - not even a high school degree. watches Fox news and believes their nonsense

Melania doesn't care. Read her jacket. Also if you're going to cry about it at least spell the name correctly. Oh and she hates Christmas. Isn't that a no no for you guys?

Since you are here, do you agree Cucker is factually incorrect?

You didn't answer my question in the OP. Is it low IQ or childish trolling by Tucker?

Why are you crying about Milania in a thread about Doctor Biden? You kinda' sound hurt from this election.

Would you like to talk about the topic instead of an entire post attacking me? This kind of nonsense has to go.

Anyways I'm wondering if Tucker is actually very stupid or just behaving like a 12 year old 4chan troll.

Carlson has the most punchable face I've ever seen, my nickname for him is "balloon head".

Never forget lol.

In terms of punchability, I'd have to hand it to Hannity. My fists want to fly after watching that smug, arrogant prick for more than thirty seconds at a time. All he does is spew hateful vitriol and delusions.....at least more than other Fox News Trump sycophants I've seen. Tucker, to his credit, does make some valid points on occasion, as rare as it may be. Hannity is one of the worst who never does, constantly towing the line, unsurprising as apparently he has a direct line to Trump himself so he has a vested interest in defending him at all costs.

I think Hannity's sycophancy is motivated by such proximity to power, whereas Carlson, more so attributable to ideological affiliation......if he's not simply pretending for the paycheck.

@MirkoS77: The guise of "righteous anger" is exactly why folks struggle to agree to disagree - the whole "I want to punch someone" because of differing opinions is not only fundamentally elementary, but it highlights a reflection of failures. But the irony of accusing another of hatred only to wish violence against that person is quite interesting, no?

This isn't a matter of disagreement, but of general manner. I want to smack Hannity because he's simply annoying in conduct, and even I mean that largely in jest. Of course I don't wish violence, nor would I enact it on anyone unless absolutely necessary, I'd think this was obvious in my post. Don't take it too seriously.

Why are you crying at all? Someone saying Jill Biden isn't a real doctor really got your panties in a twist. Why is that exactly? Why do you care?

Why are you crying about Melenia and going off topic? I'm asking you a question as I did in the OP.

Is Cucker trolling like a child or low IQ? It's a very simple question. I'm surprised the low educated extreme right eat his shit up.

Answer me. What do you care what someone thinks about Jill Biden. And I couldn't care less about Milania, I was simply pointing out the number of negative stores and comments I've heard on here without a second thought, yet you're screaming foul in full triggered fashion because something not even a fraction as bad has been said about Jill Biden shows an extreme bias and sensitivity towards someone criticizing someone on the left.

So Tucker Carlson said something slightly negative about Jill Biden. Boo hoo and whoopdie fucking doo, you've said much worse about others.

Sure but I asked the question first.

Is it low IQ or childish trolling? I'm just trying to figure this right wing idol out.

I'm mocking the right's anti-intellectualism. Problem?

Tell me, do you really care so much about Tucker Carlson? Does he really trigger you that much? Are you really so thin skinned and easily provoked? Apparently so. That's more of a "you" issue than it is a Tucker Carlson issue.

I'm mocking him.

So is he low IQ or just a childish troll? Simple question. Avoiding the thread and going off topic to only talk about me is against the rules.

Last I checked laughing and mocking at someone being a complete and total idiot =/= being triggered.

You can stop spamming that word incorrectly.

You should stop with the constant personal attacks and avoiding the topic, especially after how laughable you've been these last few weeks?

@MirkoS77: A matter of jest, quite interesting indeed.

I am pointing out the obvious. Your obsession here with someone who said something mildly critical of Jill Biden is very telling. It tells me you have extremely thin skin and a very low tolerance for differing opinions. Most people couldn't care less what Tucker Carlson says or thinks, myself included.

The point I took from this thread is to mock a growing movement of anti-intellectualism, growing among Far Right Pundits. Whether it is the...

• Increasing distrust towards higher education.
• Dislike of "impractical skills" and knowledge, with fields like sociology and philosophy being especially targetted.
• Absolute tin foil hattery about higher learning
• Disregard for Abstract Art.
• The ridicilously misguided notion that because science is about skepticism and self correcting, we should apply classic greek skepticism, towards everything we know in science without any evidence or reason to be skeptical (and conspiracy theories don't count)
• And now, attacking the credentials of Jill Biden, due to a misunderstanding of what a "Doctor" is.

Yes, mocking someone for saying something very very stupid....means I have thin skin.

lol derp.

Anyway back on topic (which isn't about me). Do you agree that what Tucker said was very stupid? What do you make of the anti-intellectualism on the right?

@Maroxad: The hypocrisy with the left is growing leaps and bounds daily. Mock, attack or smear the president for false outright lies = you're a hero. Attack presidents wife or kids (even his 13 year old son), you're a brave stunning person.

Now do the same to Biden and his crew, tin foil hats, low intelligence, etc etc. Sorry you fools can't have your cake and eat it to. I'd it was fine to do for the past 4 years it's fine to do so for the next 4, no?

Obviously I don't have to remind you on which side of the fence many on here reside. The narrative suddenly changes when it is someone's preferred side being portrayed in a negative connotation. Carlson (hard to believe he was on CNN and MSNBC at various points) does not have a unique or scarce opinion as many feel the exact way about those with a Ph.D or in the case of Jill, an Ed.D. Valid opinion or not? That's on the individual.

I really couldn't care less what Tucker Carlson says one way or another. So I am not going to agree or disagree because I just don't care what he, or what Jill Biden thinks. I do not have a very high opinion of Fox, or of the Biden crime family.

but the Trump crime family is ok with you, right?

Carlson is a troll with the intellect of a gnat. I do not give a damn what his opinion is on any topic.

The more problematic issue is why does society give such voice to trolls and gnats? On both sides of the same vacuous chamber. We have turned serious discourse into infotainment and the blurring of the lines is not in service of the public good, sound policy, or effective leadership.

What crime is Jill convicted of? Joe Biden?

Link?

Pretty f*cking stupid considering the origins of the word and the long established assignment of 'Dr.' based on doctoral degrees. Carlson and her other critics haven't accomplished anything positive in comparison to Jill. The WJS opinion piece is some blatant sexism if I've ever seen it too. But by all means, let the MAGA morons parrot this garbage as they lack any critical thinking ability on their own. Maybe if Jill's doctorate was in peddling Q-anon conspiracies they'd praise her. This is the same crowd that fawned over Melania, her biggest accomplishment being the ability to keep her lunch down when she's intimate with Trump.

It is exactly on topic. How many times does the liberal media attack republicans and call them names? Both media outlets do this crap. Why get your panties in a wad over what the idiot Tucker Carlson has to say? I mean he got what he wanted out of the left. If you just ignored this idiot he wouldn't say these things to get a rise out of you.

He literally played the left and you all fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

What are you talking about? Most of the criticism Trump gets is pretty legit. That includes the Russiagate thing. And who is attacking Baron Trump (or even Tiffany)? Whenever I see criticism aimed at the Trump family it is either Donald, Jr, Eric or Tiffany.

Now do the same to Biden? You do realize that Biden isn't pushing conspiracy theories, right? He also has a much greater grip on reality. Despite his gaffes, he doesnt have a politifact scorecard that looks like this...

https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

or this

https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump-jr/

or this

https://www.politifact.com/personalities/eric-trump/

(admittedly, Ivanka's track record isnt too bad, but it is largely drowned out by the nonsense coming from the other Trumps)

Being balanced isnt hte same as being fair, Trump was spending the last 4 years peddling conspiracy theories, and even before that, with his birtherism. But should Biden's administration come up with terms like "Alternative facts" in the first month of Biden's administration, then yes, we will take issues iwth him.

If you actually understood our points, you wouldnt perceive imagined hypocrisy.

@zaryia: Well is it really low IQ? Three recounts and some still believe Trump won the election.

In their mind 303 < 232

So a Phd is obviously compared to a fizzy drink.

So to answer your question, no it’s not low IQ, it’s the absolute lack of it.

A sentiment you obviously hold towards RedEyedMonster as well, he was the one who mentioned punching someone so I'm unsure why you're coming after me. But whatever...
