Tucker Carlson: Kamala Harris Will Deny You A COVID-19 Vaccine If You're Not A 'Certain Color'

.


The FOX News Channel's Tucker Carlson White Power Hour always delivers.


.
.
“Whatever you think of affirmative action, it’s likely you never imagined affirmative action would be applied to life-saving medical treatment,” the Fox News host claimed. “But Kamala Harris thinks it should be.”
.
.
Harris’ claim that ethnic minorities face increased risks from COVID-19 are backed up by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in her full interview with Bee, she mentioned that her goal was to combat systemic racism.

Carlson chose to ignore this.

“So we make decisions about where the resources should go to keep people from dying on the basis of skin color,” Carlson said. “So only people of a certain color get the vaccine, for example. That’s what she’s arguing. Now, this is a lot of things. It’s immoral. It’s unconstitutional, obviously. But above all, it is definitely not moderate.”

Carlson also honed in on a clip of Harris calling 18- to 24-year-olds “stupid” that has been also been used by the Trump campaign to discredit former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate.

Early on, I thought this guy was doing this for a paycheck. How naive of me. That's who he is.

May 2004: Carlson: “I don’t see” that “diversity is the strength of our country.” In a 2004 interview with NYTV on the launch of his PBS show, Carlson “I want a place where if you’ve got an opinion that you think is right, but a little out of step with the mainstream, and you’re embarrassed to express it, you feel comfortable expressing it on this show.” He added, “I was thinking this morning: ‘Diversity is the strength of our country.’ Oh yeah? How’s that? Why don’t you explain that to me? I don’t see that. I mean, is diversity the strength of the Balkans? No.”

May 2004: Carlson apologized for calling Pat Buchanan an anti-Semite because “while he may be” one, “not all his ideas are crazy.” In the same NYTV interview, Carlson said he “definitely called Pat a lot of names” in his writing, “and I feel bad about that.” Carlson added, “I think he deserved some of those names. On the other hand, calling people names is a way of ignoring what they’re saying. It’s actually an outrage, and I actually feel really bad about my role in that.”

April 4, 2006: Carlson on Barack Obama: “How is he Black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one Black parent.”

May 17, 2006: Immigrants should be “hot” or “really smart” because people who “come over and pick lettuce” aren’t going to build a stronger country.

Exactly, why does he still have a position at FOX? Is it because you HAVE to be a sexual predator to have your own show?
