Tucker

Okay, everyone, I’ve got an important announcement to make. The folks over at Media Matters have made a veiled accusation against Fox News personality Tucker Carlson: they think because the alt right loves him, he might be a bigot. For those of you keeping score at home, that means that the left has now accused — pardon me while I do the math — precisely 100% of Republicans of being racist.

Here’s what Media Matters wants you to know. First, that Mike Cernovich said Carlson would “make FoxNews great again.” Second, that the alt right have made Tucker into memes:

tucker-altright

And third, that some on the alt right wanted him to replace Megyn Kelly when her slot was open:

“TUCKER FOR ANOTHER HOUR!” reads the thread’s top comment. “Then start spamming fox with emails and comments letting them know,” wrote one Redditor. “You can’t cuck the Tuck,” commented another.

Twenty-four hours later, the trolls seem to have gotten their way, with Fox News announcing that Carlson will take over Kelly’s 9 p.m. timeslot. Carlson — a preppy son of privilege who has incongruously become cable news’s most favored host among neo-Nazis and white nationalists — will now have a prime-time venue to continue giving Fox News a bigger foothold with the “alt-right” audience.

Media Matters, of course, is trying to make Tucker look like a racist, but it’s not going to work. They lost us long ago, when they accused Mitt Romney of being a racist because of his LDS faith. They lost us when they called him a misogynist for appointing women to a Board. This is a new era. Republicans are sick and tired of being called bigots when they’re not, and no one’s falling for it anymore.
