Tucker Carlson mocked on Twitter for calling Barack Obama a ‘hater’

Tucker Carlson has been widely mocked on Twitter after calling Barack Obama a ‘hater’.

The Fox News pundit’s attack prompted an outpouring of outrage and derision on Twitter, with users accusing Mr Carlson, who is well-known for his right-wing rants and anti-immigration rhetoric, of hypocrisy.

‘Hypocritical man calling someone a hater ... how much sense does that make?!?!?’ said one post.

‘Tucker Carlson has the audacity to call Obama a hater. Tucker should look in the mirror more often’ said another.

Mr Carlson was responding to Mr Obama’s recent comments to CNN about right-wing news outlets, which he said were making money out of stoking fear and resentment among white Americans.
