Tucker Carlson Claims There's No White Supremacy Problem: 'This Is A Hoax'

Fox News host says "it’s actually not a real problem in America.”

By Ed Mazza, HuffPost US

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday claimed there is no white supremacy problem in the United States and that the very notion of one is a hoax created by the media and the left.

“The whole thing is a lie,” said Carlson, who has routinely given airtime to white nationalist conspiracy theories and talking points. “It’s actually not a real problem in America.”

He added:

“This is a hoax, just like the Russia hoax. It’s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That’s exactly what’s going on.”

It’s not clear what Carlson meant by “Russia hoax” given the well-documented effort by Moscow to undermine U.S. elections. It’s been detailed by the U.S. intelligence community and spelled out in the report and testimony by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Carlson also cited his own experience as evidence that white supremacy is a hoax: He’s never met a white supremacist.

“I’ve lived here 50 years,” he said. “I’ve never met anybody, not one person, who ascribes to white supremacy. I don’t know a single person who thinks that’s a good idea. They’re making this up.”

Footage of Carlson’s comments was posted online by Media Matters.

While Carlson claims white supremacy is a hoax, one of his favorite guests has said otherwise by actually defending the white supremacists.

Mark Steyn, a regular on the show, last year defended white supremacists over undocumented immigrants.

“The white supremacists are American citizens,” Steyn told Carlson. “The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center said earlier this year that there are now 1,020 documented hate groups in the United States, a jump of 30% since 2014. The organization said 148 of them are devoted to white supremacist ideology, an increase of 50%.

Also this year, the FBI said it had at least 850 open investigations into domestic terrorist groups, with about 40% related to race and/or religion.

Carlson has been sent off on 'vacation' since this.
Good riddance.

Actually, he announced his fishing vacations on the very show, so he wasn't "sent off". On the same show he talked about the race politics AND went after the Koch brothers. He is right on both accounts.

 

[doggystyle99]

The Republican mouth piece that is called Fake Fox & Friends has chosen to employ a White Supremacist/racist that is named Tucker Carlson. There is no difference with the hate he spews and the divide he puts into people. There is no difference with what he does on Fake Fox & Friends than the propoganda videos the terrorists use to embolden and employ lone wolfs to act on their hatred. He should not be employed nor should h be able to spread his hate via a media outlet.
This is the same person the President Of The United States Donald Trump listens to, takes advice from and has going with him to the campaign rally's he holds. People who keep making excuses for the president regarding his White Nationalist and racist ideology and downplaying this need to get their heads out of their asses.

Expect the same racist cowards to defend Carlson and Trump the two racists.

He said there is no white supremacy on the same show he went after a Jewish banker for manipulating the world?

Tucker is bang on. Completely made up baloney. Look at the facts. Since Obama was POTUS there have been 67 mass shootings according to the website Mother Jones. 38 happened under Obama and now 29 under Trump. Some of them I don't consider mass shootings (i.e. murder suicide with some collateral damage, 3 deaths or less not including shooter etc). Anyways for purposes of this analysis we'll use their criteria. Given that here are the race or ethnicity/gender of the various shooters

Caucaisan/Male - 31
Caucasian/Female - 0
Black/Male - 11
Black/Female - 1
Asian/Male - 5
Asian/Female - 0
Hispanic/Male - 8
Hispanic/Female - 0
Muslim/Male - 7
Muslim/Female - 1
Native American/Male - 2
Native American/Female - 1

Of the Caucasian males only 4 of them were white supremacists - the El Paso Wal-Mart shooter, the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter, the Sikh Temple shooter and the Charleston Church shooter. Just as many were Jihadists - San Bernadino shooters, Fort Hood shooter, Pulse Nightclub shooter & the Chatanooga Military Recruitment shooter.

% of the population of the United States who are white male - 31%
% of the population who are Muslim male - 0.6%

So tell me again who's the greater threat?

Sure, just a 'voluntary' vacation.
That's the way they do things at Fox.

I assume you agree with Carlson and Duke?

ROFLMAO!!!!! I don't know if Kochs are Jewish or not and no sane person cares, either. Not you of course. What does matter is their attempt to lead the GOP and steer it toward classic liberalism( nowdays known as libertarianism) and the Darwinian capitalism.

% of the population of the United States who are white male - 62%

So tell me again who's the greater threat?

We know that in more recent times the Muslim terrorist attacks have diminished and the White Supremacists have accelerated. Let us look at the Statistics from 2008 to 2016:

https://www.vox.com/world/2017/10/2/16396612/las-vegas-mass-shooting-terrorism-islam

The above table if updated will be even more dire for the White Supremacists. In other words Carlson the racist is full of crap.
But the right wingers are desperate to make excuses for the Neo nazis and the KKK, okay KDouglas. We should be adding two more Ks to your handle!!

I remember when Laura Ingraham had to take a “vacation” last year after she said something stupid about a Parkland shooting survivor.

These people on Fox are a sick bunch.

You do realize that Obama was president for 8 years.

 

[apoptygma]

You do realize that Obama was president for 8 years.

Please don't confuse KKK D with facts.

 

[K Douglas]

You do realize that Obama was president for 8 years.

That is irrelevant to the argument I was making but thanks for the contribution. Not.

 

[Smallcock]

Old perceptions die hard. That's why we're grateful for data. He is right that there is no white supremacist problem in the US.

 

[Frankfooter]

Just showed how under Trump there have been as many attacks in 3 years as Obama's 8.

 

[Insidious Von]

Tucker Carlson ass grabs with Alex Jones, darting tongues ensues!

New chant at Trump's next rally:

Kill Some More
Kill Some More
Kill Some More

 

[David Beckham 23]

Do you think there are white supremacist in America?
