Fox News Tucker Carlson faced further accusations of racism on Tuesday with his declaration that Baltimore is a little bit of Haiti.
Whatever you do, dont go to Baltimore, the widely watched prime-time personality urged his viewers.
Baltimore is a major American city. Its only about 40 miles from where (White House press secretary) Jen Psaki lives, he continued. Its one of the worst places in the Western Hemisphere, its a little bit of Haiti in the mid-Atlantic. Baltimore is exactly what happens when you apply Jen Psakis ideas to governing. The caption beneath Carlson read: Hellscape just 40 miles from the nations capital.

Carlsons comments echoed Donald Trumps claim in 2019 that Baltimore was a rodent infested mess where no human being would want to live. It was worse than Honduras, said the then-president, prompting the #WeAreBaltimore hashtag to trend on social media in solidarity with the city.

(19,201 posts)Carlson's audience won't read a word of that, and his description of Baltimore will stay trapped in their closed little minds forever.
Carlson, the "trust fun(d) man baby", seldom alights anywhere that isn't hermetically sealed in plastic, and hasn't been thoroughly sanitized by his maid. I imagine he has an entire walk-in closet dedicated to his bow ties, each dry-cleaned after each use, and placed neatly in its own individual cedar drawer.
Screw Tuckie. He's not man enough to live in Baltimore.

(8,360 posts)Baltimore is so much more, and Tucker can't compose a legitimate message.

Fuck him. All he wants is recognition. I've never watched him and never will.

That said Fuck Tucker.
Cancel your cable do you no longer pay his salary. As long as you watch MSNBC and CNN on cable, you are giving money directly to Fox News.
Forget Spotify say goodbye to Comcast as long as they still carry Fox
Seriously why should anyone here give money to a cable service that pays fox news?
