Fox News host Tucker Carlson is receiving backlash after mocking U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s paternity leave.
Buttigieg shared in September he and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, adopted two children.
“Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents. We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family,” Buttigieg tweeted.
Criticizing Buttigieg for taking paternity leave, Carlson said, “Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child – paternity leave, they call it – trying to figure out how to breastfeed. No word on how that went.”

Several Twitter users took to the platform to fire back at Carlson.
Co-hosts of “The View” also took shots at Carlson during the show on Friday.
“Maybe he doesn’t know about breast-feeding because he came out of a robot,” Ana Navarro said
