Remember when people thought Tucker Carlson was cute? A tie-wearing caricature that was fun? Well, he has leveraged his platform to
mainstream white nationalism.Perhaps the most ringing endorsement for Carlson came from Daily Stormer publisher Andrew Anglin, who raved about the anchor’s ability to “own” liberal guests on his show. Anglin and his cadre of writers evolved their stance from skeptical encouragement to hero-worship of Carlson, with The Daily Stormer ultimately labeling Tucker “/ourguy/.”
Again, like Trump verbally encouraging open racism, the normalization of white nationalist rhetoric is going to lead to violence and harm to people of color.
