Tucker Carlson said on his podcast that he is catching rumors of depraved "orgies" in Washington D.C, although he won't name any names.
The depravity of the ruling class has long been a theme in Carlson's commentary, but he still finds himself shocked by scandalous reports of "weirder and weirder" behavior among politicians.
While he did not get into specifics, Carlson said that he is beginning to hear about "orgies" for the first time after following politics his whole life.
Carlson shared his thoughts during a wide-ranging chat with House Republican Tim Burchett (TN), who has faced backlash for claiming that lawmakers are controlled with blackmail.
"I have noticed, just having spent my life in D.C., that people's personal lives are getting weirder in the Congress. Have you noticed that?" Carlson asked Burchett.
"Without implicating anyone by name, I don't think I'm imagining this. It's not just sleeping with your scheduler, it's weirder than that now. Have you noticed that?"
"I try to stay in my office as much as possible," responded Burchett.
"I just want to say for the record, I have never heard of anybody participating in an orgy in Washington D.C. in my entire life and I have heard a lot about it recently," Carlson said.
"I wasn't there, I'm not going there, but I think that's real," Carlson added.
"I don't know if it is or it isn't. I hope that it isn't, I would like to think that it isn't, but I've never been invited," Burchett said.
Earlier in the show, Burchett repeated claims he has made in the past about conservative, church-going lawmakers in D.C. being "compromised" with sexual blackmail in "honeypot" schemes.
Burchett also alleged that many politicians are now "owned" through less salacious methods, with lawmakers lining up cushy jobs for wives and mistresses in exchange for government favors.
"Get my wife a job, get my girl a job," Carlon said, describing how the system allegedly works.
"Get them both a job and keep them separate," Burchett said.
Burchett also mentioned a Chinese prostitution ring operating in D.C. whose clients included "high-ranking officials in government."
"Who was their client list?" he said. "High-ranking officials in government, elected officials, and lobbyists."
Burchett appeared to be referring to a high-end prostitution ring in D.C. that was busted in 2023, whose customers allegedly included elected lawmakers, military officers and other powerful people.
Congress was rocked by a notable sex scandal in 2023, when a graphic sex tape of two gay men inside a Senate hearing room went public, leading to the Democratic staffer involved getting fired.
