Tucker Carlson Bizarrely Blames Abortion For Increase In Hurricanes

If you thought Tucker Carlson couldnt get any weirder after claiming he was physically mauled by a demon that left claw marks on his body, guess again.

Now the former Fox News host turned Donald Trump toadie is blaming abortions for the increase in hurricanes.

Carlson made the dubious claim Monday on Steve Bannons War Room podcast during a discussion about spirituality that stemmed from his recent claim hed been attacked by a demon.

Somehow the conversation morphed into Carlson decreeing that anyone who thinks reproductive rights are a good thing is evil and practicing child sacrifice.

Carlson then claimed that people who dont agree with his thinking are worshiping abortion, the killing of kids, not as something that, like, needs to happen unfortunately, but as something that is good, thats pro-abortion.

He then proclaimed that abortion likely causes hurricanes.

Im sure Ill be attacked for saying this, but I really believe it. People are like, oh, well, we had another hurricane, must be global warming, Carlson said. No, its probably abortion, actually. Just being honest. 

Carlson continued: You cant kill children on purpose knowing that youre doing that in exchange for power or freedom or happiness, whatever you think youre getting in return. You cant participate in human sacrifice without consequences.

You can see the exchange below.

Not surprisingly, Carlsons theory that abortions cause hurricanes produced some stormy reactions on social media.

Some posts pointed out that his theory goes against data suggesting that hurricanes have increased even as abortion rates have dropped over the last four decades.

Another person noted that hurricanes are common in tropical Nicaragua despite very strict anti-abortion laws.

Other critics posted their own thoughts.

One user jokingly suggested that Carlson might be on to something since he is the one being mauled by demons.
