Calls for Tucker Carlson to Be Fired Rage After He Defends Kenosha Murderer in Bonkers Rant

Calls for Tucker Carlson to Be Fired Rage After He Defends Kenosha Murderer in Bonkers Rant
Fox News

Protests raged on in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday night after Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by police in front of his children.

The demonstrations turned deadly when 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse, who'd driven across state lines to the epicenter of the protests, fired his assault weapon multiple times, killing two people and wounding a third.


Immediately after the murders, Rittenhouse approached police with his weapon, but was permitted by them to leave the scene. The following day, he was arrested at his home in Illinois after national outcry.

Details of Rittenhouse's actions are still emerging, but his social media posts indicate a strong support for law enforcement and President Donald Trump, as well as a proclivity for guns.

The night of Rittenhouse's arrest, far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson appeared on television to defend him.

The video below contains graphic footage.

Carlson said:

"Are we really surprised that looting and arson accelerated to murder? How shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?"

People were alarmed that Carlson leapt to defend the murder of protesters, blaming them—instead of Rittenhouse—for the violence.

Some wanted him fired or for his advertisers to jump ship.






They began calling Carlson a fascist.



The Fox News network featured a litany of anchors and pundits who defended Rittenhouse's actions, including Jesse Watters, Greg Guttfeld, and Martha MacCallum.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter even expressed a desire to see Rittenhouse as President.

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.
