Tucker Carlson Tries to Absolve Himself of 'White Replacement Theory' Cited By Buffalo Shooter Despi
Despite Talking About It at Least 400 TimesThe racist conspiracy theory embedded in the manifesto of the mass killer who shot 11 Black people in Buffalo on Saturday was mentioned hundreds of times by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, reports show.
According to a New York Times investigation, no other public figure has championed the theory that white people will be replaced by Black people and other minorities more than Carlson.
The paper found that from 2018 to 2021, Carlson pushed the idea that Democrats and elites want to change the population to dilute the white vote and empower “more obedient voters from faraway countries” on 400 episodes of his popular show.
Many decried Carlson after the shooting. Some called him “a national disgrace” and demanded that he be removed from the air for “inciting violence.”

I'd be fine with it if they replaced Tucker Carlson.
