Mediaite reports:
Just when you think he can’t sink any lower, he plummets again. Fresh off of a charm offensive on behalf of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is pivoting back to domestic politics to champion the cause of the noxiously racist website VDARE.
“People are just silent, like it’s not even happening. And again, you have to ask why? And the answer, of course, is really simple because they’re afraid. They know they’ll be punished if they say anything about it. The story of Peter and Lydia Brimelow explains why they’re afraid,” declared Carlson.
Read the full article.
Brimelow was forced out from the right wing National Review in the 90s after a series of racist columns that included, among other things, a call to overturn Brown v Board Of Education, the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling that both ended segregation in public schools and spawned the creation of hundreds of private Christian schools.
Following his ousting, Brimelow and his wife founded the nakedly white supremacist site VDARE, which is named for Virginia Dare, who is believed to be the first white child born in the US to English settlers. VDARE earned national headlines in 2016 when their tweets were displayed on the jumbotron during that year’s Republican National Convention.
You will recall that in 2021 Tucker Carlson’s head writer at Fox News was exposed for authoring white supremacist screeds under a pseudonym.
Mass immigration is completely destroying our country. Why is no one doing anything about it? Because they’re afraid of ending up like Lydia Brimelow. pic.twitter.com/B5B0bh6t5O

“Does Tucker Carlson, whose top writer was outed as a not-so-secret white supremacist, deserve everything that’s coming to him? Like he likes to say, I’m just asking.” – @MollyJongFast https://t.co/lonXNIhuuH
