Tucker Carlson and his brother, Buckley, recently stirred controversy by suggesting on a podcast that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are homosexuals. The brothers ventured into this speculative territory during a discussion about Clinton’s personal life.
In the conversation, Buckley raised a provocative question about whether Clinton, speculated to be the 2026 Democratic presidential nominee, is “still with her girlfriend, who’s married to George Soros’s son.” This remark alluded to Huma Abedin, Clinton’s former chief of staff and vice chair of her 2016 campaign, known to be married to Alex Soros, a son of the prominent billionaire donor George Soros.
Buckley added to his statement by remarking, “Most people don’t talk about that,” suggesting that the topic deserves more attention. This assertion seemed to catch Tucker off guard, leading to a visibly awkward moment as he struggled to respond while his brother repeatedly apologized for the potentially contentious claim.
Attempting to steer the conversation away from the sensitive topic, Tucker asserted, “I’m gonna… I’m gonna stick to my no outing policy,” before quickly moving the discussion in a different direction.
Tucker’s face immediately soured as he stammered out a response while his brother repeatedly apologized.
‘I’m gonna….. I’m gonna stick to my no outing policy,’ the host shot back before redirecting the conversation.
‘The only person I’ve broken it for is Barack Obama,’ Tucker says as his brother laughs. ‘I feel guilty every time I call Lindsey Graham gay. I shouldn’t be doing that. That is not the Christian way at all.’
‘The only reason I did it for Obama was because there was a guy, an accuser, and they arrested him and like, tormented him, and he like died in poverty and obscurity pretty recently.’

Tucker Carlson interviewed Larry Sinclair in 2023. Sinclair, a convicted fraudster, had previously claimed that he did drugs and had oral sex with Barack Obama
The accuser, Larry Sinclair, alleged that he and Obama did cocaine and partook in oral sex in 1999 when the former president was a young politician in Illinois.
Obama has never addressed the allegations, and his spokesman declined to comment when Sinclair first posted a YouTube video outlining his story in 2008.
Sinclair, who boasts a lengthy rap sheet with convictions for fraud and forgery, among other things, took a polygraph test regarding his claims – the results indicated there were signs of deception.
Carlson had Sinclair on his podcast in 2023, giving him a platform to rehash his allegations against Obama.
During the eyebrow-raising episode, the former Fox News host apologized for supporting Trump’s re-election
‘I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected,’ Carlson said. ‘And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.’
His comments come as a deep rift between Trump and Carlson has been laid bare over their different views on the US-Iran war.
‘Tucker’s a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls. I don’t deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools,’ Trump said in a recent interview.

In turn, Carlson has said Trump may be the ‘antichrist’ after the president posted controversial AI images of himself as Jesus Christ.
Carlson said the Bible cautions a figure like Trump could emerge in the future, described as a ‘man of lawlessness’ – or the ‘antichrist’ – who leads people against religion.
He suggested Trump matches the scripture’s description of this entity, as a ‘man who will oppose and exalt himself over everything that is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple proclaiming himself to be God.’
Representatives for Clinton and Abedin did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
