The racist “great replacement theory” allegedly espoused by the suspect in Saturday’s Buffalo supermarket shooting has long been a talking point for Fox News anchors and other pundits.

Before the shooting rampage that also left three wounded, the suspect, Payton S. Gendron, 18, allegedly posted a lengthy document invoking the idea that White Americans were at risk of being “replaced” by people of color because of immigration and higher birthrates.

Gendron, who is White, allegedly indicated that he chose a neighborhood with a large number of Black residents for his alleged attack. In the document that Gendron is suspected to have written, he indicated that he was radicalized online. There’s no indication that he watched Carlson’s program.The theory was once confined to far-right White extremists, who cast immigration as part of a plot by “elites” to take political and economic power away from White people.

Carlson, whose weeknight program is typically the most popular on Fox News, has been an especially avid promoter of the thesis. He has mentioned variations on the idea in more than 400 episodes since 2016, according toof his program.

Funny how the WOO fails to write similar pieces in the SUV attack on Christmas parade goers in Wisconsin, or the Asian on Asian church attack in California

The Freedom of Speech should require a Liability of Literacy. The 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory manipulates young white youth into sacrificing their 'Greater Replacement' realities (lives, freedoms & family wellbeings) for temporary infamy...

Actually I don't think any of our News outlets should b owned by foreigners. We set ourselves up 2being bombared by their opinions. Its like n RUSSIA, Russians r only allowed 2 hear what RT reports.Just bcause a person is American, doesn't mean they support America.

We are Germany in the early 1930’s. What will be done to stop the oncoming speeding train? More reporting like this.

The guy is a member of Azov Nazis. He shares the same ideology and he is funded by the Democrat party that is sending $40Billion to his friends in Ukraine. What goes around comes around.

Looks like an organized disinformation campaign to tie this maniac to Republicans

Shameful FoxNews !

Tucker Carlson=Great Replacement Theory=Payton Gendron. Pass it on.

Pushing great replacement theory with a disdain for critical race theory! This is too obvious! This is a strong case for Republicans not winning the majority during the upcoming midterm elections.

Even Wikipedia does a better job than you underlining that it is a meritless conspiracy theory.

If it’s a Democrat we-hear nothing from the left most likely the criminals get released and set free to go do more damage 👎 Double Standards

Why aren’t they worried about the abortion ban? Might this increase the population of brown people?

So when someone murders in the name of Islam is Islam then a murderous idea? 🤔

Is that like asking for an $8 billion bailout after spending almost $12 billion in acquisition?

POTUS, DNC When will somebody file a class-action lawsuit against Fox news for all the FALSE/ MISINFORMATION reports and race baiting? hence the RADICALIZATION of Americans?....95% of these racist/ domestic terrorism starts from something they've watched on fox news.......

does tge FCC know?
