Fox News host Tucker Carlson admits that he lies on air.

He doesn’t like it, but he says he does it.

In an interview with David Rubin posted on YouTube, Carlson says that when he is cornered, he lies.

“I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t — I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever. But to systematically lie like that without asking yourself why am I doing this? So if these people ask themselves why am I doing this? And they say, well, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system. Ok, who’s running the system? You’re lying to defend Jeff Bezos? Like, you’re treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader, like, are you kidding me? How dare you do that!”

I’m not sure that Carlson lying is shocking to anyone.

The fact that he admitted to it, just might be.
