"It's not the job of this show to defend the president and everything he says," Carlson said after airing a clip demonstrating the media criticisms of Trump's speech on Monday."Some things we are not going to defend. But in point of fact, he never endorsed white supremacy or came close to endorsing white supremacy. That's just a lie. But he condemned it anyway. Their response, 'he didn't really mean it.

"This is a country where the average person is getting poorer, where the suicide rate is spiking—'white supremacy, that's the problem'—this is a hoax," Carlson added."Just like the Russia hoax, it's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power." Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday called concerns about white supremacy a"lie" and a"conspiracy theory used to divide the country."Later in the broadcast, Carlson claimed that he has"never met anybody who ascribes to white supremacy" or believes it is a"good idea" in the 50 years that he's lived in America.

? He must be crazy!

Everything Fox and Trump don’t like is a hoax — can’t Trumplicans see thru these people!

This guy spends his evenings coming up with outrageous things to say in order keep his face in the media. Desperate to appear relevant.

Fully agree! White Supremacy is a fabricated hoax to persuade impressionable voters against the Republican Party in the next general election. Recall... the Republican Party is the Party of Lincoln, the Party of Abolition and the Party of Merit over Division.

This guy is the poster child for white supremacy.

Ever notice that the only people who don't think racism is a problem anymore is actual racists themselves?

This is what him and Trump came up with!! Tucker Carlson is a mouthpiece for the President

More horse hockey

Of course, of course he would say this lmfao!!! Fake American you are Tucker

OmahaSpeak TuckerCarlson is right. It appears that the phrase 'White Privilege' has grown tiresome, so Fake news has gravitated over to 'White Supremacy' in it's latest pitch to ensnare black voters. KellyannePolls VDHanson

FOX news is a danger to society. Irresponsible journalism. complicit

White Supremacy may be a growing problem, but the side for which they fight isn’t the President’s. The shooters in the last 3 incidents all had far left progressive leanings. El Paseo killer was a racist (Trump isn’t) but his ideology was clearly far left.

The only thing your doing here is sendingTucker’s ratings through the roof.

istandwithtucker

TuckerCarlson off his meds again. Keep in mind that he has the same Grand Wizard as the El Paso killer ElPasoStrong DaytonStrong

The slimy and disgraceful rhetoric of a dangerous 🤡

Careful Tucker your white sheet is showing

The REAL problem in America... fixed it.

Hes 100% correct

TUCKER CARLSON IS A HOAX

Spot on, TuckerCarlson !!! We wouldn't have the diverse nation we have if we were a nation of racists. PERIOD!!

FOX NEWS does it again! It is part of the problem, along with TuckerCarlson

Rich coming from the second most prominent White Supremascist in America.

That's what Adolf Hitler said when he allowed the International Red Cross to come in and see prisoners in a Death Camp. All smiles! A few days...the prisoners were dead.

Tucker Carlson cuddles a man like himself, a White Nationalist! Ttump told us who he is.... Trump: 'You know what I am? I'm a nationalist'

It’s a manufactured crisis!

Your lying eyes

Is it a surprise TuckerCarlson thinks White Supremacy is not a problem?

Orange Man Bad! White People Bad!

Interesting, from a grifter.

TuckerCarlson, Let's Count the of folks affected by MASS shootings as of NOW - before visit to DAYTON & El Paso from realDonaldTrump - to see how many people senatemajldr COULD have saved! Test the 'HOAX' theory as you BOTH hold up gun legislation? Will u be sad outcome?

Anything Tucker Carlson says must be born in mind that he has sold his soul to Donald Trump. He is a puppet, a mouthpiece. A hollow man.

Agreed.

Tucker should be banned for lying and Faux Newz Channel should be forced to remove 'news' from their name.

Not if you're white. Even then, I'm not too sure.

The ONLY hoax on America is Fox 'News.'

AnthonyCumiaCPM hes correct

How many White Supremacy rallies are you all seeing? None! It is a fabricated lie, by liberals and the Democrat ran media. It’s nothing more than TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!!

So now he pretends to know more than the FBI director. Disgusting.

Says the white supremacist.

He's such a coward, he won't even use Twitter anymore

So a watching world can discredit the evidence of their own eyes & just believe someone who says it's true only if he says so? That's what Trump does with his base. The watching world sees that too as it has seen & heard Trump's racist invective spewed out at his chanting rallies

FoxNews - you call this “journalism”? Do you guys have a moral conscience? Or a conscience at all for that matter? Curious what you mean when you talk about “America’s Values.” Silly me - I thought they had something to do with principles, values, ethics, decency, & integrity.

He has a point, look at how many white supremacist groups there are compared to the rest of the terror groups.

And he is totally right. It's only FAKE LIBERALS and FAKE NEWS that push the agenda to divide and control people.

This mf needs to be slapped.

Not for him or others that look like him sadly

They are many more problems that are much worse... we all know that

Yeah that's because he is one of them!

Run the homicide numbers by “white supremacy” for one year vs. homocides for one weekend in Chicago. You’ll see the problem they don’t want you to see and don’t care about.

What are the %? In Utopia there are none. In real world there are ALWAYS a certain percentage who ENGAGE IN ABERRANT BEHAVIOR. Rapists. Murderers. Pedophiles. Every day people break cultural norms. Bestiality. Child abuse. That has always been true. Laws will always be broken.

He looks like even he doesn’t believe his rhetoric. Also he looks like he’s taking a shit. 💩

Yeah, the liberal party in Canada and their media are using the same tactics blaming all crime on 'white supremacy' meanwhile in Toronto last weekend there were 13 and counting shootings, none committed by white supremacist cdnpoli onpoli ldnont

Perception.

You can either vote for the FIRE ALARM or vote for Trump who has done nothing to stop immigration, except oversee a drop in deportations and a rise in immigration numbers. At least with the FIRE ALARM people will wake up.

America's Real problems according to Tucker Trump: Obama coming to take away your guns... Obama invoking Sharia law... Mexicans making White people a minority... White people being treated like a minority..(which we now claim is great, but by Golly do we not want to become 1)

Tucker Carlson's not stupid. He knows better. I understand that we don't all think alike but it's just obvious Carlson's trying to keep his ratings up.

He's spot on. All I see is bigoted FAKE LIBERALS stoking race issues and baiting blacks.

TINFOILTUCKER

You forgot to write FALSELY CLAIMS.

He’s correct.
