Tucker Carlson Launches A Vile Racist Attack On MSNBC Anchors
When the Imperial Wizard of Fox News calls MSNBC "racist," it's time to check out what he's distracting from this time.
By John Amato — October 20, 2022


On Wednesday evening, Fox News host Tucker Carlson compared MSNBC's Tiffany Cross and Joy Reid to the genocidal Rwandan radio station that incited a race war, leaving roughly over a half a million dead Tutsis in its wake.

Tuckems is mad with the Black MSNBC hosts, in part for calling out his White replacement theory BS.

But "Rwandan genocidal radio"? Wow, Tuckems, you've been saving that one for when you need a HUGE distraction.

We don't call Carlson's program the White Power Hour for nothing.

And with the utter embarrassment of the so-called Durham "case," and Trump well on his way to a "Defrauding the United States" charge, Tuckems had to wave the "Blacks are the REAL racists" flag.

overcome Jon Stewart's total evisceration of him on Crossfire.

Tuckems stopped wearing a bowtie after this and Crossfire died soon after Jon's appearance and rightly so.

Just when you think TucKKKer can't sink any lower, he does. Why doesn't he just go ahead and start wearing the sheets, FFS?

Got to be one of the most racist things on US TV in 50 years. Carlson talking about white women "as the key to reproducing the white race," and claiming black people are targeting white women for that reason.

Adds that a black anchor "can barely speak a coherent sentence."

Beyond shocking that this goes on night after night and it's treated as a goofy political sideshow. It's Klan talk, coming from the loudest media voice behind one of our two major parties.

Exactly right. In 2020 and 2021, institutions decided there was nothing worse you could be than "woke," and it was like our institutional immune system against vile bigotry collapsed. Suddenly you could say this stuff and barely anyone would push back.

The anti-woke thing was the permission structure white elites had been waiting for, to start saying whatever they want. In a matter of months everything from open antisemitism to "white lives matter" to criminalizing LGBT people has been broadly normalized.
I genuinely have started to wonder if it's only a matter of time before Carlson decides say the n-word on live TV. He'd probably get away with it, too, since he'd claim he was just talking about the "double standard" or some such. There just truly are no taboos left.
It really can't be emphasized enough: IT WASN'T LIKE THIS TEN YEARS AGO. Even when a black man was elected president, it wasn't like this. This wasn't how Americans always were.

These ideas are being ACTIVELY spread, from elite validators, in mainstream and right-wing media.
What's happening here isn't that Americans are racist and have been waiting for Tucker Carlson. What we're witnessing is far-right ideas infecting our most high-profile institutions, and using those institutions to propagandize themselves into the general population.

The reason we've been unable to fight back is that we keep looking for the source of the racist rot in the wrong places. It's coming from the head: corroded political, social, and media institutions that have talked themselves out of any willingness to resist fascist politics.
