Tucker Carlson's Fearmongering Features White Women In Bonkers Race-Bait
The Fox News host targeted MSNBC's Tiffany Cross to rile his right-wing audience.

Tucker Carlson twisted the observations of MSBNCs Tiffany Cross about the Jan. 6 insurrection on Wednesday, accusing her of demonizing white women in general. (Watch the video below.)
Cross, who is Black, noted on a recent MSNBC show that white women played a prominent part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. She aired concerns about whether Americans realized that more white women were enablers to this very dangerous domestic terrorist movement.
At least 100 of the rioters arrested were women and they played a front-facing role, according to an NBC story in April that cited a George Washington University program on extremism report. The report mentioned womens role in the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1960s. But modern social media has given women new opportunities to join right-wing extremism, the network wrote.
Crosss remarks seem consistent with the facts. But to Carlson, who repeatedly has peddled the great replacement conspiracy theory that whites are intentionally being replaced by immigrants and people of color, Cross comments were just fuel for fearmongering.

Jay Leno said it was "God;s waiting room". It's also often referred to as FloriDUMB.
Apparently that's okay.
