Surely that can't be right. Or maybe it is.

Tucker Carlson Calls White Supremacy a 'Hoax'

OK, let's play along and allow that "white supremacist" means "dangerous white racist".

TC is using the expression pretty much that way, pretty much the way everybody seems to be using it.

So what the heck.

TC, himself infamous for broadcasting the white nationalist "invasion", "replacement", "white genocide" propaganda, says this.

The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium.”

That might be right.

But that's actually quite a lot of dangerous white racists.

We're talking tens of thousands, right?

Of the sort of folks who could be expected not only to rejoice in but also even to personally participate in violent racist attacks.

He added, “I mean, seriously, this is a country where the average person is getting poorer, where the suicide rate is spiking—‘white supremacy, that’s the problem’—this is a hoax. 

"Just like the Russia hoax, it’s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That’s exactly what’s going on.”

"The Russia hoax"?

On Fox, Carlson continued: “White supremacy—you know, I’ve lived here 50 years, I’ve never met anybody—not one person—who ascribes to white supremacy. I don’t know a single person who thinks that’s a good idea. 

So he doesn't know what "ascribe" means and confuses it with "subscribe", in one of its meanings.

Just another C student with a big mouth.

"I don’t—I mean, they are making this up, and it’s a talking point which they are using to help them in this election cycle, obviously, because Russia died.”

Even supposing he's here dropped into using "white supremacy" to mean, uh, white supremacy and not just "dangerous white racism", did he not at the time offer comment on the infamous Charlottesville demonstrations?

Has he somehow remained all this time completely and totally ignorant of who those people were and what they were on about?

A whole panoply of dangerous white racists representing dangerous white racist organizations and urging dangerous white racist agendas, at least some of whom - think of the Klansmen among them, for example - actually do espouse, advocate, and seek to implement white supremacist policies, laws, and so on, in this country.

Think Jim Crow.

Think enslavement of blacks in the US.

Some of those folks at Charlottesville would have told you straight out those were good things.

Did he truly and honestly miss all that?

No, he's just lying.

Does anybody believe him?

Are even his regular viewers too stupid to see it?

Or do they just like it when he lies like this?
