‘Oh, F*ck Them’: Tucker Carlson Responds to the ADL Calling for Him to Be Fired Over Replacement Theory Rhetoric
This week the Anti-Defamation League once again called on Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson, accusing hm of “openly embracing white nationalist talking points.”
On Wednesday, the host claimed the Biden administration is seeking to “change the racial mix of the country” as part of “the great replacement” of White people. This replacement theory rhetoric has been used in certain White nationalist circles to allege a plot by elites to dilute the political power of Whites.
Speaking with Megyn Kelly on Friday, Carlson responded to the ADL’s demand that he be fired.
“Sure enough, on cue, the ADL comes out and comes after you,” said Kelly.
“The ADL?” said Carlson. “Oh, fuck them.”
“The ADL was such a noble organization that had a very specific goal, which was to fight anti-Semitism,” he said. “That’s a virtuous goal. I think they were pretty successful over the years. Now it’s operated by a guy who’s… just an apparatchik of the Democratic Party.”
The organization’s CEO is Jonathan Greenblatt, who worked in the Obama administration as the Director of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation.
On his show on Wednesday, Carlson played a clip of then-Vice President Joe Biden in 2015 noting that the Whites in the United States would soon no longer constitute a majority of the population before adding, “That’s not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength.”
“The source of our strength is non-White DNA?” Carlson mused to Kelly. “I mean, how could you say something like that? Really? So people’s value to the country is determined by their genes and their skin color? That’s like Nazi stuff.”
He added, “I’m 52. I grew up in a country that tried really, really hard – didn’t always succeed, but certainly tried as a matter of official policy – to be colorblind, and to judge people not on their appearances, but on what they do and the choices that the make, on their character, on their inherent moral value.”
