Tucker Carlson was called out Wednesday evening on “All In With Chris Hayes,” for repeatedly attacking vaccine mandates despite abiding by his own employer’s mandates. Carlson has bashed mandates as “tyrannical” and referred to President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate as “a form of sadomasochism,” which Hayes found ironic.

“The Fox News vaccine requirement is stricter than the one proposed by President Joe Biden and described as tyranny and creeping communism,” Hayes said.

As the nation has struggled to stop the spread of the deadly disease, Carlson has been championing those who have quit or lost their jobs due to vaccine mandates. And Hayes couldn’t help but notice the irony in that.

“If you truly believe you are suffering under the sadomasochistic heel of an employer,” Hayes said. “Even if they are paying you lots and lots of money, if you don't want people to think you're a total fraud then you have to have the guts to call out Fox News or resign in protest.”
