His 'most racist rant yet': Fox News’ Tucker Carlson torched for latest on-air meltdown

13 April 2023

Fox News' Tucker Carlson is under fire after delivering what has been described as his "most racist rant yet."

The conservative television host's remarks were made on Wednesday, April 12, during the broadcast of his show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Carlson took aim at Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Tenn.) in wake of the civil unrest that has taken place in Memphis, Tenn.

According to Carlson, Pearson speaks as if he were a “sharecropper.” The Fox News host also suggested that Pearson only got accepted into college because he's Black.

Pearson is one of several lawmakers expelled from Congress due to his decision to join protesters advocating for stricter gun control in the wake of the latest mass school shooting in Nashville, Tenn.

Firearm restrictions are an initiative Republican lawmakers have adamantly pushed back against. Although Pearson and Rep. Justin Jones (D-Tenn.) have been reinstated, Carlson is still expressing outrage.

Per HuffPost: "In a Fox News segment attacking Pearson and other Democrats for what he called 'mimicking civil rights leaders,' Carlson said Pearson had changed his demeanor over the years from that of a 'crypto white kid' into 'the 'modern incarnation of Martin Luther King Jr. himself.'”

“Pearson has been in the news recently for helping to facilitate an insurrection at the Tennessee State House,” Carlson said.

Carlson went on to roll back a clip of Pearson from 2016.

“Justin Pearson wasn’t white. That’s probably how we got into Bowdoin in the first place,” he said in reference to the Maine-based liberal arts college. “But he did a fantastic impression of it... That was the old Justin Pearson, before his ‘transition.’”

“You got to ask yourself, as long as we’re mimicking civil rights leaders who died almost 60 years ago, why not some variety?” Carlson added.

“You never see politicians transitioning to say, Malcolm X. Why is that?" he asked. "Maybe because Malcolm X didn’t talk like a sharecropper. He spoke dignified standard English.”
