Ilhan Omar Floats Ad Boycott of Tucker Carlson: Fox News Gives Platform to White Supremacists

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) took her feud with Tucker Carlson up a notch on Wednesday by calling for an advertiser boycott against the Fox News host.

Last night, Carlson went after Omar on his show by saying she hates America, calling her a “living fire alarm,” and saying she’s “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.” The segment has been criticized for being “flat-out racist,” and Omar originally retaliated by calling Carlson a “racist fool…weeping about my presence in Congress.”

After taking note of which advertisers ran commercials on Carlson’s show, Omar is calling on them to drop his program, saying they “should not be underwriting hate speech.”

She also joked that Carlson’s monologue “is what happens when your xenophobia cuts off the air circulation in your brain”
