Tucker Carlson: "If you speak english, Democats think you're racist."

https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2019/06/27/tucker-carlson-calls-cory-booker-one-two-whitest-candidates-stage-and-warns-democrats-could-ban/224080

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): "Criminalize desperation" -- and you thought this was your country, just because, like your ancestors, you were born here, just because you pay half your income to the government to keep the whole thing going, you thought it was your country. Think again, racist. America belongs to the rest of the world. Your job is to shut up and pay for it. Complain, and we will punish you.

...

In case anyone missed it, the two whitest candidates on stage decided to repeat the point in stilted Spanish.

...

Got that, gringo? You can add the English language to the long and growing list of things the Democratic Party considers racist. How long before you are banned from speaking it? Think we're joking? Right. Better to learn Español if you want to talk to your grandkids. It's a brand new world.


I think it's absolutely gorgeous when Republicans lecture Democrats on what Democrats think.

For example, did you know that the Democrats hate Robert Mueller because he found that Trump did not collude with Russia?
There are way more examples, but I don't want this thread locked for spreading RW talking-points.

base our assessment that you're a racist and an idiot. But since you keep speaking ... and speaking English ... and using English to say stupid and racist things, it makes the assessment pretty straightforward.

“It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt!”

When did Carlson become relevant? Sheesh!

I suppose I could have said that in English, but it sounds so much more effective in Español.
