Historian Rutger Bregman was scheduled to appear on Fox’s Tucker Carlson show, but things went south during a taping of Carlson’s interview with Bregman and the segment never aired.
Yesterday, footage of that un-aired segment was leaked online and after Bregman accuses Carlson of only talking about what the network wants him to, the TV host calls the guest a “tiny brained moron.” He also uses some expletives when ending the conversation.

After the footage was leaked, Carlson tweeted this.
Last week we taped a segment that didn’t air. Tonight, we’ll explain why.

Then, on last night’s segment, Carlson further elaborated with a hilarious answer and a non-apology.
Here’s why we didn’t air that segment last week. https://t.co/cQHlfEQZT1
