If you watched the show, you would know that he was talking about all the trash and garbage left in the desert by undocumented immigrants. And, we are not talking about legal immigration--no one is trying to stop that--it is the illegal immigration that needs to stop. |
+1 It's useless trying to have a rational discussion with people who constantly twist words around to suit their own narratives. |
Let's be straight:
The conservatives here are talking about Fox and Tucker Carlson. Fox and Tucker Carlson are liars. Fox is a propaganda network designed to advance the goals of Rupert Murdoch -- that is, screw the American worker and help billionaires. Tucker Carlson uses white supremacist talking points regularly because hate and lies help Murdoch.
Keeping that in mind, it's clear the above quote is pure projection. Accusing others of what the right is guilty of. The right can't understand that the center and left actually care about facts; actually want to have good-faith discussions; actually care about learning and what is true. To the right, all that matters in their "news" and media is the pursuit of power. They don't care about the truth. Meanwhile, all the conservative apparatchiks in DC working for places like Heritage and AEI are getting screwed by Murdoch as he cuts his own taxes and sticks them with the bill. (They don't realize as they get older they will actually start to care about healthcare working well, and about retirement, and about the country remaining a stable place to work and earn). And in many cases the conservatives don't even realize who's getting screwed. |
And now after all this, Carlson is engaging in blatant pay-for-play. If anyone ever thought he was anything but a propagandist, this should correct that view. He's not a journalist and Fox is not news. Every GOP member of Congress that has this dreck on in their office should be embarrassed.

![]() Nah. People today hate reading those musty things called books and going to that sarcophagus called a library. Must be digital. Must not exert effort or take time. How ling until DJT bans and closes libraries?? |
At least Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson has been feeling backlash from his hatemongering / Nazi-modeled propaganda.

I'm grateful to those advertisers for supporting decency. I start to try to post rebuttals to the xenophobia here, but then I get tired and cancel most of the posts. But I'm really grateful to the immigrants around me. I wish I were more effective at speaking up for them. |
Dems from red states are starting to get it:
Fox and Limbaugh control the GOP base with lies. Ohio Dem: US is being governed "from Rush Limbaugh’s studio" https://twitter.com/TPM/status/1080477844365553664

Lest we need a reminder that Fox News is all about brainwashing uneducated white men:
Now Tucker Carlson has moved on from immigrant identity politics to female identity politics.

Why all the threads in the past few months slamming Fox News?

AOC speaks the truth and calls out Fox's bigotry. Good for her.

If you haven't watched this Vox video (from 2017) it's worth watching - summarizes Fox's white supremacy, so you don't have to watch Fox. And we should all remember: Fox uses white supremacist talking points, because Fox's propaganda mission is: get white Americans to think brown people are fleecing them, so the white people won't notice the GOP billionaires fleecing them. It's all about displacing populist anger. |
AOC got one thing wrong (she's right about Fox, though): it's the Koches that fund the Daily Caller. |
That video

How many times are you going to call any of us Americans racist nazis as we are LITERALLY the most benevolent people in the world?
We'll remind you of this come November 2020. I promise. Vision positive. |
