On Saturday, April 10, CNN anchor Jim Acosta reported on Tucker Carlson's recent "White replacement theory" rant by all but accusing the Fox Host of being a White supremacist.

After showing a clip from Carlson's racist tirade, Acosta commented:


"This is hardly the first time Tucker Carlson — I'm not sure why he spells Tucker with just one K — has been accused of making racist comments."

Twitter agreed with Acosta's sentiment wholeheartedly.



Carlson's latest controversy has emerged after he advocated for "white replacement theory," an unfounded conspiracy theory that claims an elite cabal is secretly trying to replace White Americans with minorities, especially in positions of power.

The theory is extremely popular among white supremacist groups like the KKK.

Carlson claimed Republicans were being beaten at the ballot box because Democrats were recruiting voters of color from the "Third World" (a demonstrably untrue accusation).

The Fox host also claimed this statement wasn't racist, but simply an issue of "voting rights" because Republicans keep losing. Carlson then said:

"Why should I sit back and take that?"



Twitter praised Acosta for calling Carlson's racism out explicitly.




Carlson was also called out by the Anti-Defamation League, who called for his firing, saying:

"[His broadcast was] not just a dog whistle to racists — it was a bullhorn."

The Daily Show on Comedy Central highlighted Carlson's recent racist tirades by labeled him a "mass shooter copy cat," noting that the Fox host was parroting points made by New Zealand's Christchurch shooter in his manifesto.



Now that #TuckkkerCarlson has trended on Twitter, perhaps Fox News will finally consider disciplining the host for his wanton racism.

But considering his program's continued high ratings, many doubt that will be the case.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
