so in the past week for very obvious
reasons the so-called replacement theory
has been heavy in the news
after all that is what was in the
manifesto last week about the great
replacement that white people were being
displaced in the united states as
minorities take over
not a thing that's actually happening at
least not with any quickness here in the
united states it's certainly not a
concern among rational people
but tucker carlson has been one of the
biggest pushers of this replacement
theory certainly to the biggest possible
audience of everybody talking about it
so this past tuesday tucker carlson went
on his program
and said that hey you're seeing a lot of
this in the news but i got to tell you
he says
it is everywhere in the last two days
and we're still not sure exactly what it
is i mean
and of course this came at a time when
everybody was pointing their fingers at
tucker carlson saying you do this
right
there were passages in that manifesto
that were almost a carbon copy of things
that tucker carlson has said in the past
like transcripts and and excerpts from
his books
like almost word for word
and then tucker's like scratching his
head like chief i mean what is this
thing
and then of course immediately after he
said we're not even sure what it is he
talked about the fact that or what he
claims is a fact even though it's not
that democrats are the ones you know
pushing for minorities to overtake
white people in this country so you
literally said i don't know what it is
but i'm gonna go ahead and espouse the
core tenets of it
so he tried to play dumb and it
backfired on him because let's be clear
tucker carlson is not dumb
he's a very smart guy
he knows exactly what he is doing
and here's the thing though he didn't
count on the fact checkers going through
and looking at this and that's exactly
what the folks at new york times did as
reported by politifact and they found
that in at least 400
episodes
of his fox news program 400 episodes at
least
tucker carlson at one point or another
espoused one of the core tenets
of the great replacement theory
400
episodes
that's not an oopsie i accidentally did
this one time or oh yeah one guest one
time brought it up i may have agreed
with him i wasn't even paying attention
this is deliberate
okay this is intentional this is what
this man is selling to his audience
now the question
that a lot of people are wondering and i
myself am wondering is does tucker
actually believe this
see that's where i'm not so certain i
know a lot of people want to say tucker
carlson is a racist
and he might very well be
but he might also be a racist for money
he understands that this niche that he
has put himself in because let's be
clear this is not who this guy was 10
years ago at least not publicly maybe he
was privately and maybe he's just now
wearing it out in the open
but when trump came along tucker carlson
changed he started going after these
same talking points that trump was
immigrants are making a country dirtier
he told us
and he found out that his audience liked
it so he started doing more
he started going more racist on the air
so who is the real tucker
does he go home laugh it off and say oh
man that was a good show i can't believe
these idiots eat this crap up
and the reason i say that not that it
even matters
but it's because we know a lot of these
folks on the right because they've
admitted so in court cases by the way
they're playing characters
they're playing these characters because
it works with the audience and they make
a lot of money from it
and they go home and they're just normal
people
that doesn't excuse any of the damage
they've caused
but it shows you what massive grifters
they are
and tucker carlson can play dumb all he
wants saying i don't even know what the
theory is look
but here's 400 other times where i said
the exact same things
he's not an idiot
but he sure as hell thinks his audience
is
