Chris Hayes told Tucker Carlson to “get some therapy” after the former Fox News host used an incredibly icky analogy to advocate for Donald Trump returning to the White House.

At a rally for the Republican nominee on Wednesday, Carlson likened Trump to a father who decides to give his “bad little girl” a “vigorous spanking” to get his house in order. “There has to be a point at which dad comes home,” Carlson said.

“First of all: Get some therapy,” Hayes said on his MSNBC show Thursday, cupping his hands around his mouth to whisper his singsong words of advice.

“Second of all: This is not just the creepy fantasizing of a disgraced TV personality with mommy issues you can see from space or one of those weird right-wing podcasts,” he went on. “He said that on a national stage, as part of the Republican presidential campaign. Warming up for a man whom a jury of his peers found liable for sexual assault after he defamed the woman who said that Donald Trump raped her in a dressing room.

“The Republican Party is now very much explicitly running on a campaign of male dominion. Trump’s your daddy.”

“And he stands ready to put all the nasty women, as he calls them, in their place,” he added.

Both Trump and Carlson have well-documented histories of making creepy, misogynistic and perverted comments about women. Carlson, who stoked hatred throughout his tenure at Fox News, once described women as “extremely primitive” and “like dogs.”

Trump, facing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race, has repeatedly launched racist and sexist attacks at the Democrat, questioning her intelligence and her racial identity.

The conservative network parted ways with Carlson last year after it settled a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over its dishonest coverage of the 2020 election.

Carlson now has a show on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, and last month brought a Nazi apologist on as a guest.
