Fox News's Tucker Carlson has been pretty open about his bigotry toward anyone who is not white. And he wants you to be sure that you don't forget that. Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson has had a privileged life, but he's never used that for the greater good or to use his Fox News platform to spotlight people standing up for what is right.

While conservatives are OK with Republicans expelling two Black Tennessee Democrats for protesting against gun violence, they have overlooked some shocking behavior by Republicans in that state.

When speaking of Rep. Justin Pearson, Fox News's Klanny Karlson suggested that the Tennesee lawmaker sounds like a "sharecropper."

"You never see politicians transition into, say, Malcolm X. Why is that?" he asked. "Maybe because Malcolm X didn't sound like a sharecropper. He spoke dignified, standard English."

I shit you not. Here's the full transcript of the clip:

"But you gotta ask yourself, as long as we're mimicking civil rights leaders who died almost 60 years ago, why not some variety?" he said. "You never see politicians transition into, say, Malcolm X. Why is that?"

"Maybe because Malcolm X didn't talk like a sharecropper," Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson said. "He spoke dignified standard English."

"He wasn't running a shakedown racket to fleece guilty white liberals," he continued, unfortunately. "Malcolm X had self-respect, so he despised guilty white liberals, and he said so."

"He believed in self-improvement," he said. "He knew who the enemy was. So maybe it's not surprising that Malcolm X is not a popular transition choice in 2023."

"Al Sharpton, by contrast, is increasingly popular, especially now that he's skinny and has a paying job," he said.

"Sandy Cortez of Westchester recently pulled off a double transition," he added. "Not only did she change sexes, Al Sharpton identifies as a man, but races as well."

I'm not sure what he means by "races as well." Did Sharpton switch races? And Tuck needs a new writer. That "guilty white liberal" crap has been overplayed. It's old. Get more creative, dude. Just wear your white hood on your next show. He should free himself. It won't shock his audience because they are just as despicable as he is.
