Fox News's Tucker Carlson decried the quarantine of Chris Cuomo as "fake" a day after the CNN anchor left his basement studio following time spent there recovering from the coronavirus.

"We watched him seize every chance to remind everyone watching that he was very sick and in very strict containment," Carlson said before showing several clips of Cuomo discussing the quarantine. "CNN, shameless cheeseballs that they are, celebrated by filming Cuomo rising like a buff, cable news Lazarus from the grave and back into ordinary life."

"When did journalists start talking about themselves so much? It's not a story, it's narcissism, and that's weird enough," Carlson continued. "But it's not all. That was fake. Just last week, Cuomo admitted getting into a fight with a bicyclist who harassed him for going outside and congregating with other people, something CNN has been vilifying ordinary people for wanting to do."

Cuomo claimed he was so sick that he hallucinated hearing his dead father and shivered to the point that he chipped a tooth.

But Cuomo has come under fire after he admittedly broke his quarantine on Tuesday morning.

On Easter, a bicyclist spotted Cuomo visiting an undeveloped property in East Hampton, New York, with his wife and children. A 65-year-old man, who wished only to be referred to as Dave, said Cuomo launched into a verbal attack against him when he asked the host why he wasn't obeying quarantine orders that he himself promoted on-air.

Cuomo called the man a "jackass, loser, fat-tire biker" during a radio appearance, and it was reported the bicyclist filed a police report against the CNN anchor, who is also the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Days after the incident, it was announced that Cuomo's wife had tested positive for the virus.

"Here you have a top CNN anchor who appears to have been ignoring the social distancing rules his network has been promoting and forcing on everyone else," Carlson added. "It seems like he wasn't telling the truth about staying quarantined in his basement. But you can't be too mean, his own video was humiliating enough."
