Tucker Carlson had a raw, unscripted moment Tuesday evening while speaking at Indiana University during a Turning Point USA event.
While taking questions from students, one “annoying” heckler hijacked nearly nine minutes of Carlson’s time—accusing him of spreading “disinformation” before claiming he had a net worth of $50 million.
The accusation visibly angered Carlson, who regrettably blurted out the F-bomb on-stage.
The student then admitted he had made the number up, before using Jesus’s name in vain — a remark that escalated Carlson’s anger into a rage.
HECKLER: “Like, you’re worth 50 million dollars.”
TUCKER: “I’m not worth $50 million.”
HECKLER: “30 to 50 [million].”
TUCKER: “Get off the F*CKING internet, son. Stop believing that stuff.”
Realizing he had broken his vow not to curse, Tucker apologized, saying, “Sorry, sorry, sorry,” as he covered his face with his palms.
HECKLER: “No, but I’m just. Look—”
TUCKER: “You’re too annoying. So I like the last chick who disagreed with me, and then we could have a normal conversation. But you’re, like, telling me [I’m] worth $50 million. What? Stop.”
HECKLER: “You got real defensive there. I—I just thread a number. That’s, like, a lot of money. Jesus Christ, calm down.”
That’s when Tucker’s anger erupted into full fury as he ordered the liberal to step away from the microphone.
TUCKER: “Don’t use that phrase. We’re done.”
HECKLER: “Well, look.”
TUCKER: “Just stop.”
HECKLER: “Can I say one thing?”
TUCKER: “No, you can’t. Not after you say that. LEAVE!”
Knowing he had messed up big, the heckler gave up. “Alright,” he muttered, walking off in shame as the crowd cheered his departure.
