Tucker Carlson embraces white-supremacist 'replacement' conspiracy theory, claiming Democrats are 'importing' immigrants to 'dilute' American voters
White supremacists have learned that they can't simply call their beliefs white supremacy if they want those ideas to propagate, they have to package in a form that makes it more palatable to the white majority they wish to follow their ideology. There is a reason white supremacists watch the likes of Tucker Carlson, they study how he packages their ideology in a way that doesn't trumpet its racist underbelly. As some have described, Tucker Carlson is the he most prominent vessel for white supremacist talking points, and the weird thing is he portrays himself as a man speaking for the people when he's always been a man of privilege seeking to exploit the white blue collar folks.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential voices on the political right, explicitly endorsed the white supremacist "Great Replacement" theory during his Thursday night program.
Carlson argued that Democratic lawmakers are "importing a brand new electorate" of "Third World" immigrants to "dilute" Americans' political power by adding more voters to the rolls. He described his argument as the so-called replacement theory, which is a core belief of white supremacists that has motivated racist violence and mass murder in the US and around the world.
"I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate — the voters now casting ballots — with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World," Carlson told his audience, which is among the largest in cable news. "But they become hysterical because that's what's happening, actually. Let's just say it. That's true."
