Fox News aired a live reaction from host Tucker Carlson during President Joe Biden’s speech commemorating one full year since the novel coronavirus was identified as a pandemic.
Nearly half of the Daily Caller co-founder’s show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” was preempted by Biden’s address — the first major address he’s given since his Jan. 20 inauguration. (RELATED: ‘History Will Treat Him Well’: Tucker Carlson Praises Piers Morgan For Refusing ‘To Let The Mob Make Him Lie’)
Throughout the president’s address, a picture-in-picture feature labeled “Live Tucker Reaction” showed a live camera on Carlson’s face.
WATCH:
Fans and critics alike were quick to respond to the feature. Some asked that a live reaction from Carlson be made a permanent addition.
