The Left Claims Tucker Carlson Is A White Supremacist For Quoting Their Plans For Crushing Republican Voters Through Amnesty
Leftist think tanks, journalists, and Democratic politicians have been boasting for years that demographic trends involving immigrants and minorities will doom the Republican Party.

His critics think they finally have nailed Tucker Carlson. His claim last week that Democrats intend to “replace†the existing American electorate with immigrants from Central America was denounced by the Anti-Defamation League as proof that he is a white supremacist and racist who should be fired or forced to resign from his perch as a prime-time host on Fox News.
Because neo-Nazis chanted “you will not replace us†during the torchlight march in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017 — a standard antisemitic trope — the ADL proclaimed that there was no longer any doubt that Carlson was trafficking in white supremacism. But while pundits like former Republican Michael Gerson writing in the Washington Post and hard-core leftists like The New York Times’ Charles Blow chimed in to agree, a closer look at the recent use of the term debunks their argument.
As Carlson rightly pointed out in a Monday riposte to his critics, there’s nothing original about his claim that Democrats think they can “replace†American voters with immigrants. That’s because liberal think tanks, journalists, and Democratic politicians have been boasting about the same thing for years, as they repeatedly predicted that demographic trends involving immigrants and minorities will doom the Republican Party.
In the wake of George Floyd’s death, Carlson’s denunciations of the Black Lives Matter movement, the “mostly peaceful†riots around the country, as well as critical race theory and talk of “white fragility†and the accompanying cancel culture, transformed him into arguably the most important conservative voice on television. After President Donald Trump’s defeat, leftist outlets like CNN switched their focus from hatred of the 45th president to Carlson. Brian Stelter and others at the network led a crusade to deplatform both him and Fox News.

The leftists have not only openly stated they want to replace whites, they've cackled about the possibilities of getting revenge when they're in the majority.
Carlson is just speaking the truth.

Tucker is no white supremacist.
That's just the sole talking point of the racists that run the Democrats, who are the real class of White Massa oppressing the minorities in the country.

First it was "racist" -- until that word lost its power.
Then it was "white nationalist" -- until that, too, began losing power.
Now it's "white supremacist" -- how long before this, too, no longer has "power over the whites" ...?

A "white supremacist" is anyone who disapproves of the racist policies of the left.
