Tucker Carlson ‘air quotes’ Mueller’s name while claiming ‘elderly men’ are being targeted

Fox News‘ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” oddly put the Robert Mueller’s last name in quotation marks in a graphic — while also making the odd phrased claim that Mueller is targeting “elderly men.”

The graphic, originally used Nov. 28, 2018 and reused on Nov. 29’s edition of the show, reads “The endless, flawed ‘Mueller’ probe” with double quotation marks surrounding the word “Mueller” that was also in red.

The response on social media can be summed up in this tweet:

During the Nov. 28 show, meanwhile, the same graphic was used behind Carlson with a banner reading “Tucker: Mueller team threatened elderly men.”
