On Thursday, Fox News' Tucker Carlson devoted several minutes to an attack on First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, taking special umbrage at a fashion magazine piece on her in which she promoted vaccines — and likened the whole thing to cult behavior at Jonestown, or worship of the Kim family in North Korea.

"In one scene from the Vogue piece, Dr. Jill cradles the arms of nervous women who get the jab," said Carlson. "'Look at me,' she coos reassuringly. 'It doesn't hurt.' That's right. It's only Kool-Aid. Drink the whole cup. As Dr. Jill puts it with her signature modesty, you try to lift up other people."

Fox News contributor Lara Trump asserted on Thursday that former President Donald Trump had taken control of the United States southern border because he staged a photo op in Texas earlier this week.

Lara Trump made the remarks while appearing on Fox & Friends.

Lara Trump on Wednesday complained that former First Lady Melania Trump had been snubbed by Vogue magazine despite being the "most beautiful first lady" in history.

During an interview on Fox Business, host Stuart Varney noted that First Lady Jill Biden is expected to be featured on the magazine cover even though Melania Trump never appeared there.

Fox News has agreed to pay $1 million in fines for a pattern of "willful and wanton violations" of New York City's Human Rights Law — including ongoing workplace sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation, the Daily Beast reported Tuesday.

The settlement reached last week amounts to the largest-ever financial penalty in the six-decade history of the NYC Human Rights Commission, which enforces the law.

Fox News host Harris Faulkner suggested on Tuesday that victims of the building collapse in Surfside, Florida are part of "God's plan."

Following a press conference about the latest rescue efforts for dozens of missing people, Faulkner connected the tragedy to accusations that Democrats are trying to "defund the police."

New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani on Tuesday boasted about his "early success" in the race despite receiving zero votes in a recent Republican straw poll.

Giuliani was asked about the straw poll during an appearance on Newsmax, where he avoided disclosing details of the humiliating loss.

Many QAnon supporters believe that deceased tech entrepreneur John McAfee is the "whistleblower" who revealed that the NSA is spying on Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an effort to get him kicked off the air, according to a report from Newsweek. However, some say it wasn't McAfee himself who revealed the alleged NSA surveillance — but rather a computer that reactivated following his death, in a phenomenon known as a "dead man's switch."

Carlson outlandishly claimed during his show Monday night that the Biden administration, via the NSA, is monitoring his text messages and emails. Carlson's conspiracy theory has been widely mocked as "nuts even for Tucker."

On Monday, Fox News' Tucker Carlson raised eyebrows by claiming on air that the National Security Agency was spying on his communications with the intent to leak damaging information and get his show pulled off the air — and that an anonymous "whistleblower" within the government proved it by sharing Carlson's own communications back at him.

Commenters on social media, however, were not at all convinced by the evidence that Carlson provided, and accused the controversial Fox News host of promoting a conspiracy theory.

Fox News co-host Tomi Lahren on Monday suggested that a building collapse in Florida has been a "shining moment" for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

Lahren made the remarks following a press conference where DeSantis appeared with other officials like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

Rudy Giuliani said on Monday that a New York court had conspired to silence him because former President Donald Trump is on the verge of overturning the 2020 election.

While speaking to Real America's Voice host Steve Bannon, Giuliani suggested that the 2020 Arizona election would soon be awarded to Trump because auditors will find "phony" votes.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz on Sunday accused conservative news network OAN of using "unproven" claims about the 2020 election to call for the execution of election workers who presided over former President Donald Trump's loss.

"Pearson Sharp got pretty worked up over the unproven rigged election claims, saying, lots and lots of people worked to steal a victory from Donald Trump," Kurtz explained before playing a clip of Sharp suggesting that "execution" was one possible remedy for the "traitors" who worked to oust the former president.

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday called out Republicans for being guilty of voting to defund the police.

The confrontation came during an interview with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) on Fox News Sunday.

Former White House adviser Stephen Miller suggested on Sunday that Democrats are engaged in a worldwide conspiracy to raise the living standard to "middle class" for all people.

During an appearance on Fox News, Miller argued that Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern border recently because former President Donald Trump has also threatened to go there.
