Harry Reid (D-NV) after he made racist remarks about Obama, Carlson claimed on Fox News Reid supported “racial set-asides.” During a guest appearance on Fox News’ Happening Now, Carlson said, “I’m amazed by the number of Democrats, though, you hear saying, ‘We support Reid because he supports civil rights,’ as if his opponents don’t support civil rights, as if there’s any mainstream figure in American life who’s against civil rights. Everybody’s for civil rights. What they’re saying is he’s for racial set-asides, therefore, given that pay-off he gets a pass when he uses the phrase ‘Negro dialect.’”

April 27, 2010: Carlson said Obama was “using racial anxiety” similar to “Nixon’s Southern strategy” for “political gain.” Carlson claimed that a video message from Obama should be interpreted as him saying, “You have reason to fear on racial grounds, therefore vote for me.”

Carlson told Fox’s Sean Hannity that the ABC News story that revealed that sermons of Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, included incendiary remarks about terrorist attacks in the United States, was Obama’s “Achilles’ heel” and “that’s why they decided to lie about it.” He then decried nonexistent double standards by saying, “Had this been a white Republican consorting with a [KKK] Grand Dragon,” the press would have covered that story more than they did Wright’s sermons.

Period.”

October 21, 2015: Carlson said that then-candidate Donald Trump is the “embodiment” of the “frustrations” of those who are labeled “racist” or “nativist” but have “legitimate” anti-immigration concerns.

August 8, 2016: Carlson attacked the Black and Hispanic Journalists Associations. While co-hosting the Sunday, August 6, edition of Fox & Friends, Carlson said “if you take three steps back,” journalist associations for minority groups are “kind of a little odd,” and questioned why journalists should “coalesce around a racial identity.” He also wondered if it was ironic that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton -- who spoke to the members of the journalistic associations -- was “accusing her opponent of racism while speaking to a racially exclusive group.”

You’ve got blue eyes.”

Steve King (R-IA) faced backlash when he tweeted in support of right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders, writing, “Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” Carlson hosted King on his show to defend his racist remarks and said to him, “Everything you said, I think, is defensible and probably right.” Carlson again invited King on his show later in July to talk about his proposal of defunding Planned Parenthood to build a wall along the southern U.S. border.

July 17, 2017: Carlson used the slur “gypsies” and claimed that Roma immigrants have “little regard for either the law or public decency.” Carlson hyped reports that a group of Roma asylum seekers were settling in Pennsylvania and “integration is not going well” because “citizens say they defecate in public, chop the heads off chickens, leave trash everywhere, and more.” He complained, “This has been a distinct group for a thousand years that actually hasn’t assimilated, for the most part, into the cultures in which it’s been hosted.” The Roma, who Carlson referred to as “gypsies,” were a target of the Nazi ethnic cleansing project.

Carlson seemed to agree with every statement.

January 22, 2018: Carlson attacked MSNBC's Joy Reid by accusing her of building her “entire public career” on “race-baiting.” After Reid pointed out in her MSNBC show that Carlson’s genealogy included immigrants and that he had a “pretty blatantly white nationalist view of what immigration should be like,” Carlson accused her of “race-baiting” and said that calling his extreme anti-immigration immigration beliefs racist was an “attempt to short-circuit the conversation with slurs.”

February 7, 2018: Carlson slammed immigrants eligible for the protections under the DACA program for living in “a country that's not theirs.” Carlson accused DACA-eligible immigrants “didn’t care about our law.” In reality, signing up for DACA actually involved several steps with legal costs that could go over $500.

February 13, 2018: Carlson and guest Brit Hume discussed when it would be appropriate to use the N-word.

Carlson hosted Bill Ottman, the co-founder of Minds.com, who claimed that tech giants were seeking to destroy his company by censoring his site.

By the way, when we get there, we deserve affirmative action.’”

April 6, 2018: Carlson agreed with a guest who claimed “lack of socialization” leads Black teenagers to commit murder at a higher rate than whites. Claiming an Obama-era policy that meant to close racial gaps in discipline enforcement was to blame for disruptive behavior in classrooms, frequent Black Lives Matter-basher Heather Mac Donald saidthat the “same lack of socialization” among Black teenagers led them to commit violent crime at higher rates than white peers. Carlson called her claims “exactly the point,” adding that the Obama policy was “purely ideological and not rooted in reality at all.”

April 6, 2018: Carlson gave frequent guest and notoriously racist columnist Katie Hopkins a platform to call for profiling young Black men in London, U.K. Following a spate of stabbings in London, Carlson invited bigoted columnist Katie Hopkins -- who has advocated for military forces to evacuate homeless people in Los Angeles, CA -- on his show to comment on the situation.

April 27, 2018: Carlson dismissed guest’s explanation that some Mexican immigrants come to the U.S. fleeing violence by saying that if Mexico is “such a dangerous country filled with so many violent people, why would we let any of them into our country?” While hosting Univision’s Enrique Acevedo, Carlson asked him why Americans wouldn’t “be terrified” to “let [Mexicans] in” the United States, after Acevedo cited safety as one of the reasons Mexican immigrants flee their country.

May 15, 2018: Carlson hosted an apartheid apologist to fearmonger about South African land reform. Carlson provided a platform to Ernst Roets, a leader of AfriForum, a group that has referred to apartheid as a “so-called” injustice. Despite a lack of evidence that attacks on white South African farmers are racially motivated, Carlson painted a picture of imagined white persecution by inaccurately reporting that a law had been passed allowing South African authorities to seize lands from white owners with no compensation for redistribution. Carlson lectured that the situation “is not what Nelson Mandela wanted.”

May 16, 2018: Carlson begged his guest to say something racist.

August 3, 2018: Carlson claimed, “There is no history of racism against Koreans here, that’s just not true. Certainly not by white people, anyway.” Carlson attacked New York Times’ Sarah Jeong over old tweets he took out of context, claiming they were “making sweeping claims about an entire racial group, all of them angry.” Carlson also vehemently denied there was any racism against Koreans (Jeong is Korean-American). He then suggested Jeong couldn’t be oppressed because she had gone to Harvard.

August 13, 2018: Carlson dismissed the threat of extremism because “white supremacy is not ubiquitous in America” and, therefore, “it's not a crisis. It's not even a meaningful category.” In the context of the second white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville -- held on the anniversary of the first one -- Carlson referred to media reports about rallies as “hyperventilating press coverage” and said that people who are concerned about the white supremacist movement in America are “either delusional or trying to control you with fear, likely both.”

August 14, 2018: Carlson attacked refugees for using food assistance and took issue with recognizing children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S. as U.S. citizens. Citing a study by the anti-immigrant hate group Center for Immigration Studies, Carlson said refugees are “living off of taxpayers largesse.” Then, complaining that undocumented immigrants who have children in the U.S. can get government aid for their American children, Carlson suggested that it “might not be the case” that birthright citizenship is mandated by the Constitution.

Trump tweeted in response to the segment that he would be directing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into the matters. White supremacists celebrated the segment and Trump’s tweet, as they have long taken South African politics out of context to serve their narrative of white oppression..

September 7, 2018: Carlson attacked American diversity, saying that it made “marriage or military units” less cohesive. In a racist monologue that echoed white nationalist talking points attacking the value of diversity in American society, Tucker pitted “diversity” and “freedom of speech” against each other and claimed “racial discrimination” against white people is “acceptable” and “encouraged” in today’s society. After the segment prompted widespread criticism, Carlson attempted a defense on Twitter. White supremacists online celebrated the segment and agreed with Carlson.

September 14, 2018: Carlson said America “was a better country” when it was less diverse.

September 18, 2018: Carlson claimed that Democrats’ willingness to hear sexual misconduct reports against then-nominee to Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh was equivalent to sexism and racism. While dismissing the sexual misconduct reports against Kavanaugh, Carlson portrayed those willing to hear Christine Blasey Ford -- who said a drunken Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school -- as blaming all men, “every single one of them, because they are men.” He then equated the willingness to believe women’s testimonies of sexual assault with blaming all men, suggesting it was similar to racism.

September 28, 2018: Carlson asserted that the Kavanaugh hearings had exposed “race hatred” toward white people. Guest Harmeet Dhillon asserted in relation to the Kavanaugh hearings that “it has become fashionable now to beat up on white men, and whites more generally.” She went on to compare the treatment of white men in academia to apartheid, saying, “It's apartheid on our college campuses.” Carlson agreed, claiming “race hatred” was going to “encourage some kind of conflict.”

October 8, 2018: Carlson compared Democrats to the genocidal “Hutu leaders in Rwanda.” Carlson claimed that activist Tom Steyer was instigating “tribal warfare posing as democracy” by saying, “Kavanaugh was installed by a specific racial group in order to hurt and disempower every other racial group in America.” He continued by claiming that was “exactly the kind of things that Hutu leaders in Rwanda were saying in the early 1990s.”

October 8, 2018: Carlson said Indigenous Peoples Day is a message to “normal people” that “you don't have the right to defend yourself.” While criticizing places calling for Indigenous Peoples Day in a fight against the historical erasure of indigenous populations, Carlson suggested that the push to not celebrate Christopher Columbus was a message to “normal people” that “you don’t have the right to defend yourself.”

October 29, 2018: Carlson uses synagogue massacre to attack Trump critics for using the “language of holy war.” Following the massacre of 11 Jewish people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA, Carlson glazed over the attack to dog-whistle about Gab, a social media platform used by the alleged shooter that is an online “haven for white nationalists.” He claimed that journalists covering Gab’s connection to the shooting are committing “moral blackmail,” and said, “They want to take charge of what you are allowed to say and think … by blaming you and your opinions for the crime.”

November 28, 2018: Carlson says the United States needs “an honest adult conversation” about “what the next 100 years looks like demographically.” In an interview with former Fox personality and current U.S. Ambassador to Germany Rick Grenell, Carlson said the U.S. needs “an honest adult conversation” about demographics and implied that immigration radicalizes native citizens because the media are “lying to the population.”

He said that unifying a party based on opposition to a group because of skin color"“worked for Democrats in the Jim Crow South for about a hundred years and that’s why they still do it,” and he said Stacey Abrams’ pro-diversity agenda means Democrats are “telling Americans they must hate their neighbors for the color of their skin.”

February 7, 2019: Carlson staked out an anti-abortion agenda motivated by white supremacist ideology. He has developed a bizarre talking point about “the real reason our elites so enthusiastically support abortion. It doesn’t set you free; it won’t make you happier. But it will make companies more profitable and that’s what matters most to them. Pro-choice means pro-corporate.” He said the goal is to trap women into becoming “more dutiful, obedient workers.” White nationalists Richard Spencer and Faith Goldy have expressed similar sentiments.

July 8, 2019: Carlson said Harris’ homeownership program is racist against white people.

July 17, 2019: Carlson allowed his guest to mock the term “person of color” and to call it “a racist term” because “everyone has a color.” Carlson agreed with his guest and claimed, “We are remarkably passive in the face of hyper aggressive racist, like Ilhan Omar.”
