Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has come out against current commentator Tucker Carlson—for spouting White supremacist talking points on air—and against her former place of work for defending him.

After the Anti-Defamation League asked Fox to drop Carlson from their rotation, CEO Lachlan Murdoch came to his defense, saying the network "abhors antisemitism, White supremacy and racism of any kind."


Former Fox employee Gretchen Carlson wasn't buying it.

Gretchen Carlson—who left Fox News in 2016 over sexual harassment by former CEO Roger Ailes—made plain she "hoped when [Fox] moved to take Roger Ailes out" that "Fox News might really change."

"Instead, Fox has just gotten worse."




Gretchen Carlson, despite being a former Fox host, has seen a radical shift in her public persona since leaving the company.

She is not shy about publicly lambasting the network and its hosts.

She posts many things across her social media the network places in the "radical left" category.





The incident in question Gretchen Carlson called out was Tucker Carlson's use of the "White replacement" theory on live TV—a thinly veiled White supremacist talking point.

The theory claims that somehow equal representation for people of color is going to do away with White people altogether.

Due to the rise in White supremacist terrorism across the country, the Anti-Defamation League called on Murdoch to take Tucker Carlson off the air.

Murdoch refused.





The capacity for Fox News to change is questionable.

After the January 6 Capitol Insurrection, the network did virtually nothing to change its rhetoric.

Perhaps karma will come for Tucker Carlson, since his employer will not.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
