Less than a week after a man believed to have written a racist manifesto about a "Hispanic invasion of Texas" killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, Fox News' Tucker Carlson claims the idea of America having a white supremacy problem is a "hoax."
Carlson made this claim on his Tuesday show, saying that white supremacy is "right up there with Russia" in terms of problems the United States faces and is "actually not a real problem in America" at all. To back up this argument, Carlson said that every person who is a member of a white supremacist organization in the country could fit inside a single college football stadium. Of course, as CNN's Brian Stelter points out, this neglects the fact that "men like the suspect in El Paso aren't 'members' of an 'organization.'"
"This is a hoax," Carlson claimed. "Just like the Russia hoax. It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That's exactly what's going on."
Carlson's comments immediately drew backlash, with CNN's Don Lemon playing the clip on his show shortly after, taking a long pause and then asking his guest, "Was that not the dumbest thing you've ever heard"? Conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg also hit back against Carlson and hoped his argument isn't picked up by President Trump ahead of his El Paso visit. Goldberg wrote, "If Trump apes these talking points, it'll be awful for the country and devastating for Trump's presidency." Trump on Wednesday morning tweeted a different quote from Carlson's show, suggesting he saw the white supremacy segment. Brendan Morrow

What these idiots neglect to report is that the "Manifesto" had been uploaded AFTER the "suspect" was in custody.
As far as their claims that it's white supremacists on the war path here, was the leftist Trump hating Antifa guy that shot up people in Ohio also a white supremacist?

I recall David Duke, PhD said that he was in the KKK when he was very young and got wise to that routine. ;)

This current rage especially against Trump if full blown DONKEY Shit. It looks like the Dems think their constituents are incapable of realizing facts, and are so stupid that they will just heed the piper's call to rioting in the streets and voting for them. (Maybe they know their constituents better than I do).
Is Baltimore a shit hole ? Almost every major metro area has reason to be ashamed. When kids aren't safe from drive-by shootings, when riots and looting break out after an event it ain't whitey running down the street with TVs under his arms. Many times the blame is put on cops when the truth is that the cops in these areas are in danger every day of the week. That is not to say the cops are always innocent, they're not. However, dealing with angry and ignorant youth, with drug dealers and others of ill repute the cops are wary and callous to some extent and intend to go home to their families after their shift.
All of the PC nonsense is driving America into its demise.
