Tucker Carlson’s Lie Biden Referred to as White Republican Males ‘Extra Harmful Than ISIS’ Backfires – How Far Off Is He?

Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson On Tuesday evening it was falsely alleged that President Joe Biden called white Republican men “more dangerous than ISIS”.

During his speech to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race massacre, President Biden said in Tulsa, “Folks, we can’t – we mustn’t make hatred a safe haven. ”

“As I said in my address to the joint session of Congress: According to the intelligence services, terrorism from the supremacy of whites is the deadliest threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not Al-Qaeda – white racists. That’s not me; that is the intelligence community under both Trump and my administration. “

That is what Tucker Carlson, who has been repeatedly referred to as a white supremacist and proponent of white supremacist rhetoric, said last night.

“You are not surprised. It’s always the same people, isn’t it? “Those white Republican men” – the very ones Joe Biden just warned us about are more dangerous than ISIS. These are the people who beat up older Asian women in our cities, they have seen the plague spread. Those who don’t believe in science and have no decency are the problem. “

Media Matters put together this video that proves how Carlson lied:

President Biden did not describe white Republican men as “more dangerous than ISIS” nor did he suggest that all white Republican men are white racists. He said, “Terrorism from white supremacy is the deadliest threat to the homeland today,” and that fact, he noted, came from the US intelligence community.

Tucker Carlson did what he does almost every night: trying to cover up white nationalists and white racists.

But this time it backfired.

Not all Republicans are white nationalists or white supremacists, but the fact is that most white nationalists and white supremacists are white Republicans and most are white Conservative men.

Carlson on Tuesday night just put that ugly fact in the spotlight.

During his inaugural address, President Joe Biden said to the American people: “We are moved by a cry for racial justice that has been going on for 400 years. The dream of justice for all will no longer be postponed. “

A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that couldn’t be more desperate and clear.

And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must face and that we will defeat.

To overcome these challenges – restoring the soul and securing America’s future – it takes more than words.

It requires the most elusive things in a democracy:

Unit.

Unit.

Do you remember how outraged the Republicans were?

Some headlines from this day and the following:

“Why are Conservatives so angry that Biden is denouncing white supremacy?”

“Rand Paul Says Joe Biden’s speech was ‘Allusion Calling Us White Supremacists'”

“Biden’s attacks on racist extremism are portrayed as an attack on the right itself”

Less than two months ago, House Republicans began “basically a white supremacy gathering,” as Vanity Fair’s Bess Levin put it. They formed an “America First Caucus” in order to preserve “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions”.

In 2019, The Nation’s John Nichols wrote, “White nationalism is a republican crisis.”

That same year, the Guardian’s Carol Anderson wrote, “The problem of white Republican supremacy is a threat to America.”

Tucker Carlson can pretend Biden calls white Republican men “more dangerous than ISIS,” and his followers will of course believe him, but the fact is, many of them are white nationalists and white racists, and there is no hiding from them – or just how dangerous this hatred really is for America.
