History shows we ignore Tucker Carlson at our peril
CNN
History demands that we pay more attention to Tucker Carlson's parroting of racist "replacement" theory, says Nicole Hemmer, because it shows there's every reason to believe Carlson and his acolytes could succeed in normalizing hate for a wider audience. Hemmer observes it has happened before.
When he launched into a diatribe against immigration during an appearance on Fox News Primetime last week, he preemptively struck out at his critics. "I know that the left and the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,'" he said, "if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate -- the voters now casting ballots -- with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World."More Related News
