a 180-page screed that laid out plans to attack Black people and repeatedly cited the so-called "great replacement" theory.For years, these types of beliefs have existed at the fringes of American life," Schumer wrote in the letter, addressed to Fox proprietor Rupert Murdoch and other Fox News executives.
"However, this pernicious theory, which has no basis in fact, has been injected into the mainstream thanks in large part to a dangerous level of amplification by your network and its anchors." Schumer cited a recent AP poll which found that Fox News viewers are three times more likely to believe in the great replacement theory than viewers of other networks.Asked during a press gaggle Tuesday why the Biden administration had not called out members of the Republican party and media who have amplified replacement theory, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said those people "know who they are and they should be ashamed of themselves.
"But I'm not going to give them ... or their noxious ideas they're pushing, the attention that they desperately want," she added."I urge you to take into consideration the very real impacts of the dangerous rhetoric being broadcast on your network on a nightly basis," Schumer wrote." "I implore you to immediately cease all dissemination of false white nationalist, far-right conspiracy theories on your network."
“must” 😂
Seems Democrats are afraid to be interviewed by FNC.
Schumer tweeted that Tucker Carlson invited him on his show tonight to debate the letter, but that he declined, saying: 'Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous ‘Replacement Theory.''
Hah HaH Ha
Ooh, Schumer makes demands and speaks out. I bet people are scared. He’s become the least powerful Majority “Leader” ever.
Write a letter, swell, but state consequences to hold the POS's accountable & then follow through. Americans are tired of political posturing and want accountability.
'Implore'?
Thank you SenSchumer !! Now let's also pressure all the businesses that support Fox FoxAdvertisers
chuckschumer Politics has allowed this true trash to go on too long. Allowing this kind of television media and social media to exist is not much different to allowing Hamas to have a political party. PUT A STOP TO IT for the common good with the GOP.
IslandGirlPRV No ... I did not read the article bc you have to have my info on order to read ... but I do agree that Mr Schumer and ALL OF US have to get up in mass and run this Evil 😈 OUT ...
WajahatAli Oooh I bet that’ll scare them
Fox News has long been one of the prime causes of division and strife in America. It promulgates poisonous propaganda which is radicalising millions of Americans, and you saw the inevitable result of that in Buffalo.
WajahatAli That ought to do It! If not, perhaps legislation?
All you have to do to see how pervasive the white supremecy issue is here on Twitter is to click this guy.
