Last week, Tucker Carlson criticized a prominent American woman for praising the “co-parenting” practices of the Chinese Communist Party, which sparked a heated discussion on political correctness and its place in the public sphere.

“The New York Times published an op-ed from a woke American woman who spent 16 years living in China. What did she miss about China? She misses the Communist Party of China co-parenting her children,” Carlson, an honorary board member of the Daily Caller News Foundation, said about the Wednesday essay. “She thinks the Chinese commissars did a better job of being a mother than she would have. She misses their firm hand, and we are not making this up.”
“Our stringent government co-parent quickly made its presence felt,” Heather Kaye wrote in the New York Times (NYT) op-ed. “The girls’ Chinese kindergarten lectured us on everything, including how many hours our daughters should sleep, what they should eat and their optimal weight.”
According to the op-ed, Kaye also said that she occasionally felt as though she was borrowing her kids for the nights and weekends. She continued, “Attention to the common good is a core characteristic I seek in an American government co-parent,” despite the fact that her and her husband had to flee China due to its severe lockdown regulations.
“The communist party fat-shamed this lady’s kids!” Carlson erupted.
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York recently suggested a ban that would totally phase out natural gas appliances like stoves by 2030 with the goal of lowering carbon pollutants. Her objective is to ensure the long-term viability of the ecosystem for coming generations.
“She’s complimenting the government of China,” Carlson said.
“The piece ends by noting ‘The tight control of the communist party surveillance state results in its own kind of freedom,’” Carlson said. “Okay, that is un-American, that person is sick and if you don’t recognize how sick that person is, if you long for a fascist government to call your little girls fat, you are a sick person.”
The Daily Caller News Foundation made an effort, but Kaye and The New York Times refused to comment.
