Fresh calls for Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson over 'replacement theory'

After the Anti-Defamation League renewed its call for Tucker Carlson to be fired from Fox News for voicing the racist “great replacement” theory about immigration, the primetime host had a pithy response: “Fuck them.”

Carlson was speaking to the former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly on Sirius XM. He made the comments in question on his show on Wednesday, which averages more than 3 million viewers a night.

Claiming the Biden administration was trying “to change the racial mix of the country”, Carlson said: “In political terms, this policy is called ‘the great replacement’, the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from far-away countries.

“They brag about it all the time, but if you dare to say it’s happening they will scream at you with maximum hysteria.”

They sat quietly while the iron and steel plants shut down creating the rust belt. With infrastructure sorely needed where are the American made materials?

They sat quietly while other manufacturing plants closed and our clothes and electronics were made in Asia. The foreign manufacturing can't keep up with microchips needed for their 5G devices.

Now, minorities are getting noticed on news programs and he is speaking out because he fears he maybe replaced. He didn't stand up for American workers, why should they stand up for him. Fuck you, Tucker.

I know I left out a lot of products, feel free to add to the list.

Carlson is a media experiment in how fucking insane can you be and still have ratings go up. They haven't reached the ceiling yet, and they may never do so.
