Howard Dean Calls for ‘Boycott’ of Fox News and Deportation of Murdoch Family: ‘They Are the Enemy’

Howard Dean said on MSNBC Thursday that Americans should “boycott” Fox News and primetime host Tucker Carlson. He also said he believes the entire Murdoch family should be deported.

Dean joined The Beat with Host Ari Melber. The duo blamed Fox News for last week’s racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York. They also discussed the “great replacement theory,” which Carlson has endorsed.

Melber reminded Dean Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said Wednesday the network’s viewers see the it more as “an America media brand” than “news.”

Dean reacted to the comment by calling for the Murdochs to be deported. He also accused Fox News of “murder.”

“I see the brand of Fox being hate, anger, dishonesty and now murder,” he said. “That’s the brand, that’s the brand that the Murdochs have chosen to be their flagship.” Dean added,

[Rupert Murdoch] has harmed this country more than any other human being in my lifetime, and he and his family should never should have been given citizenship. The one thing I would change about our immigration policy is to send Murdoch back to Australia and keep him there with the whole family.

If you cause that much trouble, you spread lies and hate and anger and tear the united States apart with your crappy TV shows, simply to make money, you do not belong, you do not deserve American citizenship.

Melber aired a series of clips of Carlson reacting to national tragedies such as the Buffalo massacre and Waukesha Christmas parade attack. The host accused Carlson of reacting differently to them, depending on the skin color of the victims.

Dean derided Carlson as “nuts” and “crazy,” before he called for a boycott of Fox News:

You know, the guy is nuts. I mean really, you are going to take this seriously in any way? But he is dangerous because he has a lot of people that believe in this nonsense. I actually think he’s crazy. But he’s malevolently crazy and he’s a danger to the United States of America, and since we can’t take him off the air, we ought to boycott Fox. I’ve had nothing to do with Fox for many, many years. I won’t buy a product that is advertised on Fox. Unfortunately, since I never watch Fox, I don’t know what the advertising is.

Despite his admission he never watches the network, Dean concluded, “They are the enemy of the United States of America.”
