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.

Not the post-menopausal ones! That he doesn't recognize that they exists just shows how sexist he is.

My uterus was removed and therefore, because I am unable to bear children, I am no longer a woman.

Geez. Can't imagine deliberately tuning in to see this idiot every night.

As is evident from watching the clips of her he plays. He then "interprets" or basically puts words in her mouth to create his strawman to knock down.

Hey, Tucker, ever heard of Herschel Walker?

What a completely vile individual he is. No redeeming qualities - not a single one.

the quiet parts out loud! We all know that is the sort of thing he probably thinks, but now the thoughts are leaking out of his mouth. As bad as Fox is, I am surprised they are letting him get away with this. Apparently no one is controlling the monster.

show that Carson and his fellow racists are fringe, not mainstream.

Might be interesting to trace Carson's genealogy. Sounds like a job for Henry Louis Gates.

Hosting on MSNBC.

Every time a racists attacks a person of color, a demon gets its horns.

Stupid racists are all over Fox and the GOP.

I’m heartsick to hear it. He should be fired immediately.

I don’t like their message obvs but if we were the Republicans what would they do faced with something analogous to this? Just pelt the hell out of fox with phone calls and letters and emails demanding that he be relieved?
