Tucker Carlson's Racist Attack On Baltimore Torn To Shreds On Twitter

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, don’t go to Baltimore,” the widely watched prime-time personality urged his viewers.

“Baltimore is a major American city. It’s only about 40 miles from where (White House press secretary) Jen Psaki lives,” he continued. “It’s one of the worst places in the Western Hemisphere, it’s a little bit of Haiti in the mid-Atlantic. Baltimore is exactly what happens when you apply Jen Psaki’s ideas to governing.” The caption beneath Carlson read: “Hellscape just 40 miles from the nation’s capital.”




Carlson’s comments echoed Donald Trump’s 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.

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.

All his bullshit does is get him more recognition and air time.

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

In a modest house. It is probably the basis for the criticism.

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?

was there briefly a few years ago, and would like to go back. Good food, interesting places, decent bus system, friendly people (who explained the bus system) - had a great time!

Because he's watched The Wire twice.
