Tucker Sparks Outrage After Absurdly Claiming Kamala Harris 'Is Not From This Country'

Tucker Sparks Outrage After Absurdly Claiming Kamala Harris 'Is Not From This Country'
Fox News

Xenophobic screeds are nothing new for far-right Fox News host and Dancing with the Stars loser Tucker Carlson.

Carlson has described Iraqis as "semiliterate primitive monkeys." He's said immigrants make the United States dirtier. He's repeatedly peddled the white supremacist "great replacement" conspiracy theory, which posits that non-white immigrants are deliberately sent to the United States in order to suppress white Americans.


And in a recent broadcast to his millions of viewers, Carlson falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris is "not from this country."

Watch below.

Carlson said:

"There's a lot we don't know about Kamala Harris. Most people probably don't know she really grew up in Canada, where she went to high school. She's not from this country in that sense, or she's certainly also from Canada. Why haven't we heard that?"

Harris was born in California and moved to Quebec with her mother at 12 years old until she graduated high school in 1981, after which she came back to the States to attend Howard University before beginning her law career in California.

Harris lived in Canada for a total of six years, which—according to Carlson's standards—somehow means she's "not from this country."

People didn't miss the dogwhistle Carlson was blowing.




Two-time failed Republican presidential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, was born in Canada, spending the first four years of his life there. For whatever reason, Cruz's presidential eligibility was never widely questioned by Carlson or other right-wing media personalities.

People soon pointed out the double standard.




Carlson is unlikely to correct his absurd claim.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
