Fox News host Tucker Carlson refocused his aim on CNN host Chris Cuomo.
The CNN host was photographed in public without a mask, but with a cigar in hand, Carlson said. The photographs, which seemed to contradict his public stance, were taken over the weekend.
"There he is, hair blown majestically, reshooting the scene for his own ad," Cuomo said in a clip played by Carlson, with Cuomo later doing an impression of the president. "'I hold rallies, and I tell you to ignore masks. And I rip mine off as I vanquish the virus because I am a leader! Fear not, COVID.' What a bunch of bullshit!"
Carlson said he promoted masks as a deterrent to the coronavirus before public health officials advised it as practice to limit the spread of the virus, but he blasted rules that mandate masks in outside areas, such as for jogs or beach visits.
"Chris Cuomo calls us immoral for doubting the rules. Then, in private, he whips off his mask the second he can," Carlson said, showing the photographs. "Again, we don't judge Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo judges us. And that's the point!"
The Washington Examiner reached out to CNN for comment.
