Tucker Carlson Unironically Accuses Obama Of Being A Hate-Sowing ‘Racial Arsonist’
Tucker Carlson , who frequently pushes white nationalist and anti-immigrant talking points on his widely watched Fox News show, on Tuesday unironically accused former President Barack Obama of being a “racial arsonist.”
Carlson attacked Obama over the former president’s condemnation of this week’s mass shootings . Eight people were killed in an attack on Atlanta-area massage parlors last week. On Monday, 10 people were gunned down at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado.
In a statement shared on Twitter, Obama wrote that “we should be able to live our lives without wondering if the next trip outside our home could be our last. We should. But in America, we can’t.”
“It is long past time for those with the power to fight this epidemic of gun violence to do so,” he continued, adding: “It will take time to root out the disaffection, racism and misogyny that fuels so many of these senseless acts of violence. But we can make it harder for those with hate in their hearts to buy weapons of war.
“He emerges at our most vulnerable moments to deepen the wounds that divide us. He sows hate,” railed Carlson, who often defended ex-President Donald Trump’s racist, hateful and divisive comments.
“Why does Barack Obama do this?” asked Carlson. “Well, it would take a psychiatrist to answer that question fully, though it seems obvious that deep loathing of some kind plays a role. It must play a role.”

Tucker Carlson is fast becoming a punchline.
I recently came across a John Oliver video where he dedicated an entire show to eviscerating Tucker Carlson. I highly recommend it.
Carlson has boxed himself into a corner where pretty much all he can do to appeal to his audience is offer more and more white grievance.
What, exactly, is a racial arsonist?
What, exactly, is a racial arsonist?
Someone who throws racist shit and lies onto the racial fire to make it burn higher and brighter.
Would you like to provide some examples of his racist lies? Include the actual quotes not just what "you" thought he meant.
Amazing isn't it. Completely ignore the donald years and all of his nasty rhetoric and go immediately to blaming his predecessor.
All that shows me is their underlying bigotry.
Apparently it is anyone that dares to point out any racist policies or actions from the political right.
Why doesn't he ask that question about the fat, racist, loser that left the White House in January 2021?
In order to keep his a audience, Tucker needs to be far worse than them. Y'all ain't seen nor heard nothin' yet.
