Tucker Carlson gets eaten alive

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is best ignored in general. His ugly rhetoric, dishonest propaganda, and hysterical rambling serve no purpose other than to make insecure middle aged white men feel justified in their bigotry. But last night Carlson took his racist hate mongering to such an extreme, even by his standards, that he got called out across the board.

Tucker Carlson claimed on-air last night that white supremacists are not a “real problem” and that white supremacy is a “hoax.” Nevermind that a white supremacist shot up an El Paso Walmart this weekend and killed a double digit number of innocent people in the process. And nevermind that the President of the United States has routinely pushed the same white supremacist propaganda as the shooter. In Carlson’s toxic waste dump of a mind, all of this simply doesn’t exist and isn’t happening.

Just how fierce was the blowback? Carlson’s name began trending on Twitter as everyone piled on about how pathetically unhinged his delusional rant was. CNN host Don Lemon played a clip of it, calling it the “dumbest thing” he’d ever heard.

Tucker Carlson has lost a number of major advertisers this year due to his ongoing racist on-air rants. You have to wonder how many more advertisers he might lose over this latest debacle. As is the nature of cable news, if Carlson loses enough advertisers, Fox News will have no choice but to pull the plug on his show – regardless of how many bottom feeding losers might be watching Carlson verbally vomit on himself each night.
