Tucker Carlson Praises 'Brave' Couple Who Painted Over BLM Mural

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Thursday night hosted the white California couple who are facing hate crime charges for painting over a Black Lives Matter street mural, praising them for their bravery while insisting they merely covered over “graffiti” that shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Last weekend, David Nelson and Nicole Anderson spread black paint over a yellow BLM mural displayed on the street in front of the Martinez, California, courthouse. After video of an angry Anderson painting over the sign—which was approved by the city authorities—went viral, police announced the pair had been charged with three misdemeanor counts, including a hate crime, for their actions.

Carlson, who has repeatedly described the Black Lives Matter movement as a “terror organization” and a “pandemic,” immediately lauded the couple, saying they destroyed “nothing” yet have been charged with a hate crime.

Nelson noted that while he has “no problem with Black people” he doesn’t agree with the BLM movement because “they have a hidden agenda.” He went on to say he wished he handled his interaction with the person who filmed them “more diplomatically” but that they were “angry” because they “are sick of the narrative.”

black ergo... Still having BLM painted on the street. Lol

If she really wanted to get rid of it, she needed to pour the black paint on street in random place on yellow and going out side the line to disrupt what it was saying. All around stupid. And really got pissed off with accusations of caged children. Wow.

As long as the vandals are doing something Carlson likes, they're okay in his book. The mural was permitted and approved by the city authorities, the vandalism wasn't. But listen to Carlson howl when NASCAR prohibited confederate flags. Hypocrite much, Tucker?
