Fox's Tucker Carlson is being roundly criticized for claiming that America's white supremacy problem "is a hoax."
It's "just like the Russia hoax," he told his viewers on Tuesday night. "It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power."
This nonsensical claim came after several days of scrutiny of the El Paso suspect's racist views and the forces that may have radicalized him. News outlets have pointed out that some of the anti-immigrant "invasion" language in the manifesto published online shortly before the attack mirrors what is frequently heard on far-right-wing talk shows and websites. And many prominent politicians have warned about the growing threat of white nationalist violence.
Carlson responded in a monologue on Tuesday night. He asserted that "the whole thing is a lie." And he downplayed the threat by saying it's "actually not a real problem in America. The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium."

“I’d be willing to bet that there are more potential jihadists in the US than there are white supremacists.”
Yes, far far more...in Dearborn, Minneapolis, Chicago.
And anarchists, a whole lot of aimless punks that just want chaos.
and apparently right after #1 Minneapolis, Columbus
Got Kin in Eastern Ky. They say if there is a Klan Rally of 20, 18 are FBI.
CNN is fake news.
“White Supremacy” is a CNN fake news concept.
Sometimes they mix it up by dissembling, prevaricating, and disinforming.
Virtue signaling to violence signaling. It’s just a shot away.

The hoax is that “most white people hate black people.” There are white supremacists all over, and the latest ‘ hate white men ‘ trend is probably creating more. If media bad mouthing black People causes black bad behavior, then media bad mouthing white people might do the same damn thing.
Noticing differences between people has many degrees.
1. You guys look different. You sound different. You do things in a different way. NEUTRAL and yet still frowned upon - here’s where healing starts.
2. I don’t like your differences. Seems yucky to do it differently than I do. STARTING TO GET NEGATIVE. (this kind of emotion is very common in early childhood over everything). People can learn to accept the different at this phase as well.
3. My kind is better than your kind. I think I will try and stay away from your kind. RACISM. Somewhat benign, but harder to influence this degree of racism.
4. I hate your kind. We need to fight against you. You are harming us just by existing. You should be in jail or even dead just by being a member of that group. VIOLENT RACISM. Entrenched and too late to be helped.
Liberals always leave out context and scope. I come across this on FB all the time. If they can point to one event in 10 years or 10 perpetrators in 10 years, they will say there is an epidemic of white supremacy violence.
Brian Stetler is one of the biggest idiots on TV.
Love it when CNN has a meltdown.
Well summarized - thanks! I'm a 38-year naturalized US citizen and have the same experience. I have traveled to dozens of states including many in the south, and have never run into anyone openly stating white supremacist views. Tucker's notion that all white supremacists in the US would fit into a football stadium is probably not far from the truth.

Thought these things were banned from FR....
Except that it’s true. You could probably fit every white supremacist in this country into a large IHOP.
What about Al Sharptongue, Jeremaih (Never) Wright, and the other black supremacists? In their world, there are two kinds of people, blacks and subhumans.
The Chinese are the worst of all, but liberals admire them and want to be them.
Who exactly is white? I have never seen anyone who could pass ‘the white tissue test’. Who are these whites?
Of course we do. The Preamble to the Constitution, basically, makes that the functional purpose of the Union. The Left is fanatically trying to substitute a new totalitarian socialist culture, which it desires to inflict on all mankind,.
Brian Patrick Stelter is an American white supremacist and is the chief media correspondent for CNN and host of the CNN show Reliable Sources. Previously he was a media reporter for The New York Times and the editor of TVNewser.
and that culture will be latin and muslim not european and judeo-christian
So, if a group existed and its branch in, say, Philadelphia attacked an African American woman for eating while black, and then its branch in, say, Portland, Oregon attacked a journalist for filming while Asian, would that be a white supremacist group?
