Fox News host Tucker Carlson asserted on Sunday that “science” was on the side of a doctor claiming male Hillary Clinton supporters suffered from low testosterone.
“A doctor [is] under fire for claiming men who support Hillary Clinton likely suffer from low testosterone,” Carlson teased before a commercial break. “It’s science. You can’t deny it.”
“Are you a Low T denier?” he quipped.
Following the break, Carlson explained that Fort Myers Dr. Dareld Morris was offering a free testosterone test to men who support the Democratic nominee.
“The question is, can you argue with science?” Carlson said.

With real, proven science no. Junk "science"on the other hand..
Yes, I can argue with your statement. That's the thing about science, we don't have to take it on faith.
Present some evidence and I'll consider your findings. Until then, I don't have to take anything you say for granted.
Actually, machismo is associated both with extremely high and extremely low levels of testosterone.
“The question is, can you argue with science?” Carlson said.
Yes you can. That's the point - unlike religion, you're allowed to insinuate that science got something wrong.
"Science" is on the side of global warming. Oopsie! And evolution! ARRGGG!!

While we're at it, lets get Anne Coulter one of these tests.
It is a pithy attempt at calling male supporters of Hillary "effeminate", with the implication that being effeminate is a negative thing.
This says far more about them than it does their opponents.

"with the implication that being effeminate is a negative thing."
It is if you're a straight male with any aspirations of successfully dating women.
If you're gay (or prefer porn and hookers) then I guess it's neutral either way.

If you define "success" as "adhering to a stereotype to only attract women who are interested in that stereotype", then sure I guess.
On the other hand, actual effeminate men (which includes "in touch with their feelings") are successfully getting together with women. And "masculine" women are successfully getting together with men. The world isn't as cut and dry as you would believe.

The Republicans have been doing the "masculine guys are good! feminine guys are sissies! feminine girls are sexy! masculine girls are ugly dykes!" line for decades now, sadly.
Now they're just trying to sound smart while doing so. And failing. Badly.
But the conservatives will drink it up anyways.
Donald Fart is whining about 'media attacks' on him.
A distinct lack of testosterone, eh Fucker?
I'd have thought that he would've learned ages ago that - especially when one becomes a celebrity - you never show weakness.
Well, those sharks that are the Media can smell blood.
Tear him apart.
For starters journalistic integrity has never been a priority of Fox "News" Entertainment and the referenced doctor is pulling an extremely blatant publicity stunt. Even if we could not argue with science - which by nature is a process of constant correction as new observations are made - we can certainly call into question any information stated by grandstanding bullshit artists.
Making a facetious suggestion out of thin air for the direct purpose of insulting people and then proceeding to bait those people into jumping through hoops for your amusement is not science so we don't have much to talk about either way.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
