Tucker Carlson should maybe probably stay off Twitter today
Either Tucker Carlson is working extra hard to piss people off, or it just comes naturally to him. We’re not sure which is worse.The Fox News host alienated viewers across the aisle on Monday evening following a segment on the racist mass shooting in Buffalo, and another one on Texas Rep.
Dan Crenshaw.The teenage gunman who carried out the attack in Buffalo is a believer in a Tucker Carlson conspiracy theory called “white replacement” or “great replacement” theory.
Over the last year, Carlson has repeatedly suggested that Democrats are intentionally trying to bring immigrants into the country to sway elections in their favor.Responding to criticism, Carlson claimed he was the real victim.“Because a mentally ill teenager murdered strangers, you cannot be allowed to express your political views out loud.
That’s what they’re telling you,” he said, before falsely stating that “hate speech” is just speech that other people hate.The clip didn’t go over too well on social media:Actually, I think what they're telling you is that if your political views are virtually identical to the manifesto a mentally ill teenager who murdered strangers, then *maybe* you should think hard about your political views.
