A racist comment may have ripple effects after airing on the Fox News Channel this afternoon. Democrat strategist Jehmu Greene and the Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson appeared on Megyn Kelly’s show America Live, when Greene went after Carlson personally. Twitter lit up immediately:
After a commercial break, Kelly reappeared and said that she had consulted with producers to find out if she heard Greene say “what she thought she heard.” Kelly then apologized to Carlson on behalf of herself and the Fox News Channel for Greene’s insult.
What remains to be seen is if there will be any additional fallout for Jehmu Greene. NBC will not have to creatively edit it to make it sound racist. Her comment, reversed in any way, would have created an instant firestorm on the left. Media Matters would have republished its entire dossier on Carlson, and may in fact do that in an effort to defend Jehmu Greene. As of this writing, Greene has not apologized for her comment.
Carlson and Greene were debating Democrat Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, the competence of her campaign and her history of using minority status to gain employment advantage, which Warren denies. It was during this debate that things got heated and Greene unleashed on Carlson.
CARLSON: It was unfair when it happened under segregation, it’s unfair now. Indeed, it’s indefensible and that’s why she doesn’t want to talk about this, because she did gain material advantage by lying about her ethnic background. And no one should gain advantage because of his ethnic background, period.
GREENE: Tucker! Tucker! Elizabeth Warren has been very clear that she has not gained advantage…
CARLSON: No she has not been clear.
GREENE: And at the end of the day, she won the teaching award at Harvard two years in a row, she won teaching awards at the University of Pennsylvania, at the University of Michigan, at the University of Houston. To question this woman on her qualifications is going to be something that does appeal to…folks like you, voters like you, bow tie’n white boys, but at the end of the day it is going to backfire…
Carlson calls Greene out for name calling, and Greene immediately responds “I didn’t call you a name.”
It should be noted that Tucker Carlson was not wearing a bow tie during the segment.
Greene is racist, like many “tolerant” Dims.
If I were Chatsworth Osborne III aka Tucker Carlson I’d be mightily offended that someone called me a “bow tie wearing white boy.” Because everyone knows Carlson is a very rich btwwb and not just any white boy who wears a bow tie. Hrrrrumph, the impudence of Greene.
She has to go because if Tucker referred to “kinky haired black girls”, that would be the end of him. No double standards. Race hate is deadly for the targets and the Liberals are targeting a new minority - white men.
Black racism has now lynched dozens of whites in the name of Trayvon and in one of those attacks the victim was referred to as a “honkey tree monkey.” Obama and Holder has unleashed the black racists leftists like this racist pig on Fox have jacked up.
Good for Megyn Kelly for apologizing to the viewers.
Of course, it should have been Greene’s apology, but everyone got the point. Racism will not be tolerated on Kelly’s show.
Tucker wasn’t Mau-Maued, he was “Jehmued”
It’s only racist when Whitey McCracker says it.
They don’t have the numbers for what’s coming.
Too many abortions.
What a lack of foresight.
Shamu Greene sounds again.
Thar she blows!
< where’s my harpoon?>
Yes this is getting scary. There have been so many attacks on white people by black mobs, that it would be wise to avoid large cities these days. Pajamas Media has a story about how numerous and violent these attacks are becoming.
There is a war on white people.
No doubt, and she obviously thinks she'll get away with it.
Will FOX NEWS do anything about it, that's what I want to know.
So, this Jehmu Greene was rather niggardly with her praise for Tucker Carlson?
Fox went to the dark side a while ago. What I don’t understand is why a few Conservatives don’t strat an actual Conservative news station.
Pays well enough.
Jena Sicks member showing off his beat Whitey bling.
Nappy headed hoes did not get Don Imus very far. should be the same for her.
Who cares what Aunt Jemima Greene thinks?
Packs of black racists began attacking whites in the cities last summer, big time. Trayvon is just the latest excuse.
Black racists think that since Obama is the president and Holder told Congress that Blacks (”his people”) won’t be prosecuted for violating the civil rights of other people, it’s the Tan with the Klan’s heyday. They think hate and violence against whites is black race power.
I would not accidently end up in a Black area of the city. Conceal carry is a good idea right now and always be aware of who is around you in parking lots.
Funny what people say when forced off script. I have few doubts this reflects Ms. Greene’s true feelings about the political opposition. Prejudice is an ugly thing, no matter where it comes from.
Yep.
