Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused Democrats and the left of using white nationalist as a label to smear political opponents and said there aren’t many white nationalists in America.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson played down the threat of white nationalism during his show on Wednesday night, dismissing such concerns as an electoral ploy by the Democratic Party.
“What happens when you could no longer denounce your political opponents as Russian spies? This is a major problem in the Democratic Party right now but they have a solution: You just call them white nationalists instead,” Carlson said on his show. “It's every bit as stupid and slanderous, and it's even more effective in shutting them up.”
Carlson played a clip of Stacey Abrams, a rising star in the Democratic Party and a potential 2020 candidate, accusing Stephen Miller of white nationalism. Miller is an adviser to the Trump administration who pushes for hardline policies on immigration that critics have labeled as racist. “You'll notice that none of these dumb people pause even for a second to explain to you what a white nationalist is,” Carlson said. “You probably still don't know. And, honestly, neither do we. And that's because there are so very few of them in this country. There are probably about as many legitimate white nationalists in America as there are Russian spies.
“Trump has given voice to the rage and paranoia of white supremacists, and now there is a very real danger that as extremists lose the hope they saw in his presidency, some will lash out against the people he has demonized and blamed for America’s problems,” Heidi Beirich, director of the center's Intelligence Project, said at the time.
