Tucker Carlson Just Got A Savage New Nickname Thanks To A Berkeley City Council Member Who Refused To Appear On His Show

Tucker Carlson has a long history of flirting with White supremacist ideologies, and it's starting to get noticed more and more.

As advertisers shy away from his show, where he regularly expresses views too extreme for them to handle, Carlson's producers reached out to Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson for a guest appearance.

Robinson declined the invitation in the most epic way possible.


Robinson came to Carlson's attention by co-sponsoring a Berkeley bill to remove any gendered terminology from the city code ("manhole" becomes "maintenance hole" and so on).

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, however, Robinson had some strong feelings about appearing on Carlson's program:

"Unfortunately I won't be able to come on the show. Tucker Carlson is a dangerous, xenophobic, racist, white supremacist goblin who I am not interested in engaging with."

Twitter made it clear they agreed with Robinson's assessment.



Tucker stokes the flames of racial resentment on a nightly basis and deserves to be called out on it.


Many people praised Robinson's decision not to validate Carlson's perspectives by appearing on the show.



Sadly, many Goblins may take offense to what they've been compared to.


It's time politicians stopped treating Carlson like a serious figure.


Robinson isn't alone in his recent criticism of Carlson's race-baiting.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, after being attacked by Carlson as a "living fire alarm" warning of the dangers of immigration, called for an advertiser boycott against the program.


Though Carlson claims to be presenting both sides of any given issue, those who study his program know his White nationalist rhetoric has been becoming more and more extreme.

The book The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine, available here, explains how Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch used Fox News to spread their message.

Carlson's views, like those of any goblin, have no place in modern mainstream culture.

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.
