“Why don’t you go fuck yourself, you tiny brain?”
A video of Fox News reporter Tucker Carlson has been leaked online, that shows him lose his temper during an interview.
While speaking to historian Rutger Bregman about a speech he gave that went viral, where he urged for billionaires to be taxed at a far higher rate.
During the interview, which started off on relatively friendly terms, Bregman implied that Carlson had been taking “dirty money” for years.
Carlson soon lost the plot, and ultimately started shouting at Bregman, saying: “Why don’t you go fuck yourself, you tiny brain” and repeatedly called him a “moron”.
Bregman calmly replies: “You can’t handle criticism, can you?”

In a clip that garnered a massive reaction online, Bregman discussed how a high rate of tax on those who have an incredible amount of wealth could solve a lot of the problems that are often discussed at climate change conferences.
“1500 private jets have flown in here to hear Sir David Attenborough speak about, you know, how we’re wrecking the planet.
“And I mean, I hear people talking about the language of participation and justice and equality and transparency, but then, I mean, almost no one raises the real issue of tax avoidance, right?
“And of the rich just not paying their fair share. It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.”
