Tucker Carlson Blasted For Weak Attempt To Claim Pelosi Has Racist Intentions With Voting Rights Bill

Another day, another ludicrous Fox News claim that Democrats are the real racists.

The latest one comes from host Tucker Carlson, who accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of having racist intentions with the House's new voting rights bill.

Yes, wanting Black, Indigenous and other people of color to have equal access to the polls is somehow a racist plot.


You can't make this stuff up.

Carlson's comments came during a segment on the House bill, HR1, also know as The For The People Act.

First introduced in 2019, the act endeavors to change voter registration laws to tackle voter suppression, especially in majority-minority districts; create stricter ethics rules for Members of Congress; and require states to form independent commissions for redistricting processes.

It also notably overhauls campaign finance laws to rid the election process of campaign donations from non-profits, which lack accountability because such non-profits are not required to disclose their donors.

It was this process in particular that had Carlson in a lather about racism, because of the way Nancy Pelosi described the donations.

Carlson played a clip of Pelosi describing the measure thusly:

"We're gonna have HR 1 right off the bat be about cleaner government so that we can reduce the role of big, dark special interest money."

Pelosi was referencing the phrase "dark money," the nickname frequently used for these kinds of untraceable political donations.

But to Carlson, the phrase is apparently more than a simple byword—it's a racist dog whistle.

"You have to wonder why Nancy Pelosi is still using the term 'dark' as a euphemism for bad. But whatever. It's Nancy Pelosi, so we can be sure it's not racism. Nancy Pelosi is a good person, unlike you."

The phrase has absolutely nothing to do with race, but rather simple invisibility. But accuracy has rarely been among Carlson's chief concerns.

On Twitter, people immediately began raking Carlson over the coals the disingenuous and ridiculous comment.









Given the multiple incidences of racist comments Carlson himself has made on his show, it seems perhaps the man doth protest too much.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
