Marines apologize after Twitter war of words over Tucker Carlson

II MEF’s Information Center Twitter account added its voice to the criticism of the far-right television host on Friday, posting a picture of a female Marine carrying a comrade. “What it looks like in today’s armed forces @TuckerCarlson,” the account wrote. “Get right before you get left, boomer.”

One user replied saying: “Please focus on China and not Tucker Carlson,” prompting a dismissive rebuttal from the Marines account that read: “Come back when you’ve served and been pregnant.”

Right-wing figures shared the exchange and criticized the Marines account for both shaming an American citizen and engaging in the politicized back and forth over Carlson’s comments.
