Tucker Carlson recently called out President Donald Trump for cheering the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

“When a man dies, even if it’s someone you disagree with or even hate, there’s a reverence in death that’s required if you’re going to have reverence for life,” Carlson said during the March 25 episode of his podcast. “There’s something awful about that.”

Carlson’s guest, military veteran James Webb, agreed, noting that “you judge a society by how it remembers its dead.”

Webb also said that “people can have any problem they have with Robert Mueller, but at the same time, he has a grieving family ... he has a wife, he has kids. This is a man who served the country honorably for decades. Starting in Vietnam as a Marine, he was wounded in combat.”

Shortly after Mueller, who oversaw the 2016 investigation into Russian election interference, died on March 20, the president posted on Truth Social, ”Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” The callous post led to widespread backlash.

Mueller, who served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013 after being nominated by President George W. Bush, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021.

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God also condemned Trump’s post about Mueller.

“You are also putting yourself into a position that when you pass, people are going to treat it like Mardi Gras in New Orleans,” the “Breakfast Club” co-host said of Trump last week.
