Latest Assault on Tucker Carlson Over Replacement Theory Backfires

The American Spectator

ADL’s Greenspan, CNN’s Lemon wind up targeting progressives. 

"You can’t make it up.

"The other day, Fox’s Tucker Carlson had the nerve — the nerve! — to make the points quoted below in a discussion with Mark Steyn. The topic: replacement of voters and one culture with a population of new voters and another culture. Said Tucker (bold print for emphasis supplied):

I’m laughing because this is one of about 10 stories that I know you have covered where the government shows preference to people who have shown absolute contempt for our customs, our laws, our system itself and they are being treated better than American citizens. Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term “replacement,” if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World. But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening actually. Let’s just say it: That’s true …

If you change the population, you dilute the political power of the people who live there. So every time they import a new voter, I become disenfranchised as a current voter. So I don’t understand what we don’t understand cause, I mean, everyone wants to make a racial issue out of it. Oh, you know, the white replacement theory? No, no, no. This is a voting right question. I have less political power because they are importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that? The power that I have as an American guaranteed at birth is one man, one vote, and they are diluting it. No, they are not allowed to do it. Why are we putting up with this?

"The story focused on the remarks of the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive and national director of the ADL (and, no accident one suspects, a former operative in both the Clinton and Obama administrations). Mr. Greenblatt told CNN’s Brian Stelter that “I think we’ve really crossed a new threshold when a major news network dismisses this or pretends like it isn’t important. This has deadly significance.”

"Also on CNN was my former colleague and anchor Don Lemon with a similar attack on Tucker. Said Don:" . . .
