Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh a “cringing little liberal.”
He made the comment Thursday on his show while discussing the high court rulings on President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 mandates. Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberals in upholding the mandate for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments.
Attorney Harmeet Dhillon said she thought it was an “unfortunate” ruling “given the massive shortage that we have of healthcare workers right now in our hospitals.”
That’s when Carlson cut in to say, “With no help from Brett Kavanaugh, I notice. Cringing little liberal.” He then quipped that he wouldn’t have Dhillon respond to that comment before moving on to the question of whether democracy still exists.

The majority-conservative Supreme Court on Thursday did block Biden’s vaccine-or-test requirements for large private companies.
Last week, Carlson, whose top-rated show pulls in millions of viewers, confronted Republican Sen. Ted Cruz over comments about the Capitol riot.
