Tucker Carlson slammed Democrats for seizing on the opportunity to politicize the Buffalo race massacre, reports The Daily Mail.

 

'Within minutes of Saturday's shooting, before all of the bodies of those 10 murdered Americans had even been identified by their loved ones, professional Democrats had begun a coordinated campaign to blame those murders on their political opponents,' Carlson began saying during his segment on Monday night. 

He continued: '''They [Republicans] did it,' they [Democrats] said, immediately. Patron Gendron was the heir to Donald Trump, they told us. ''Trumpism committed mass murder in Buffalo.''' 

The Fox News host's controversial commentary comes after rising criticism from the left, accusing him of echoing the 'great replacement' theory, a conspiracy that politicians are attempting to wipe out white Americans by 'replacing' them with immigrants.

LA Times: Tucker Carlson Hits A Dangerous New Low

“What is hate speech? Well, it’s speech that our leaders hate.”

The LA Times reports the hypocrisy was stunning, even by Tucker Carlson’s standards. During a broadcast of his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Monday, the Fox News host blamed Saturday’s mass shooting of 13 people in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo, N.Y., by a radicalized white gunman on the policies of President Biden, the Democratic Party and pretty much anyone who‘s called for a stop to the hate speech and racist ideology espoused by the suspect — and Carlson himself.

Outcry that Carlson address his part in spreading a xenophobic philosophy known as the “great replacement theory” — a paranoid notion that white, Christian people are being intentionally replaced by people of color, Jews, Muslims and immigrants — was met during Monday’s telecast with no acknowledgement whatsoever of the role Carlson himself has played in energizing white nationalists, but plenty of moaning about who the real victims are in this tragedy: those in the right-wing media and Republican Party who were swiftly connected with the horrid ideas in the shooter’s apparent manifesto.
