John Legend Lambasts Fox News' Tucker Carlson For Poisoning 'The Minds of Millions'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

John Legend struck out at Fox News commenter Tucker Carlson in a series of pointed tweets on Sunday (May 15) in which he took the conservative network’s star talker to task for what he said was Carlson’s poisoning of his viewer’s minds. The tweets appeared to be a reaction a racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York on Saturday in which the alleged perpetrator referred to a discredited racist theory, the “great replacement,” that has been a common theme on Carlson’s show.

“Tucker and similar proponents of this evil ideology continue to poison the minds of millions,” tweeted Legend. “They have contributed to multiple terrorist massacres and will continue to do so. This is sickening and dangerous. This should not be on a major cable network.” The tweet included a link to a supercut of Carlson’s frequent, enthusiastic promotion of the “replacement” conspiracy theory, which the suspect in the Buffalo shooting allegedly referred to a number of times in a voluminous manifesto he left behind.

Legend laid bare what the followers of the theory believe and wondered when the media figures promoting the divisive, deadly concept will be held to account in a second tweet. “Followers of this ideology have been massacring Jews, Blacks, Asians, Latinos. When will we ostracize and deplatform these terrorist sympathizers on our TV and social networks?” he asked.

A spokesperson for Fox News had no comment on Legend’s tweets, but sent links to several quotes from Carlson’s show in which he denounced “political violence,” including one from January of this year in which he said, “we’ve consistently denounced political violence of any kind, no matter who commits it.”

1. Tucker Carlson will come out tonight and proclaim he is the victim in all this brouhaha

"Sure there was ANOTHER mass shooting in Buffalo, but the real victim is me, a rich white guy. Look at all the mean things people are saying about me online. It is terrible. You can't even be a rich white guy on TV without being attacked."

Just watch.

or rather, don't watch.

I never have.
