In case you missed it, Fox News host Tucker Carlson came right out and defended QAnon conspiracy theorists.
Luckily, Media Matters Deputy Rapid Response Director Andrew Lawrence was watching and grabbed it for everyone to see:
Andrew Lawrence ~ Tucker Carlson defends Qanon.

Hmmm ... we didn’t actually hear Tucker defend QAnon. Maybe we just weren’t listening hard enough.
No, you heard Tucker Carlson correctly ... he didn't defend QAnon's ideas at all ... he simply stated well-established FACT ... that anyone who attempts to control what citizens can or cannot believe or think is attempting to be a dictator. And this totalitarian putsch is being foisted upon us by the Democrats and their toadies in the lamestream, FAKE NEWS media.
You know, we’re starting to think that Andrew Lawrence is mischaracterizing Carlson’s remarks. But he works for Media Matters, and MMFA would never misrepresent someone on Fox News!
Except, of course, for all the times they’ve done just that.
I got your #Unity right here ~ No he doesn’t, you liar.
Andrew Lawrence is indeed lying about Tucker Carlson.
The Bert ~ If by "defend" you mean not actually supporting the idea, but the *right* to have an idea, then sure, he "defends" them.
Having thoughts of your own, what a horrible idea.
And yes, I maintain that QAnons are batshit crazy.
Emergent Universe Kyle Style Podcast ~ No, he's defending your right to cognitive autonomy. You know, my mind, my brain, my body, my choice?
Eric Nelson ~ No, he defends the freedom of idiots to be idiots, which we should all hold sacred.
Guys like Andrew Lawrence should hold that especially sacred.
Yeah, because libtards are the poster children of Idiocy.
I got your #Unity right here ~ Andrew Lawrence has the right to free speech, even though he’s a loathsome, dishonest asshole.
Did I just defend Andrew Lawrence?
