During a segment on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” the comedian lamented Carlson’s popularity and influence, noting that Fox News has recently made moves to expand its presence through a documentary series and a podcast. .
“And if that wasn’t enough, Tucker was also presented as a potential future presidential candidate, which should be seriously alarming. Because of all the things Tucker is: a conspiracy theorist, a misogynist, an Islamophobe, a troll, one of the most dangerous is that he is the most prominent ship in America for the discussion points of white supremacists, ”Oliver said.
Oliver noted that whenever Carlson is accused of echoing or sympathizing with white nationalism, he routinely questions what white nationalism is, seeming to imply that it does not exist.
“Whenever you try to define [white nationalism] he himself is usually very self-serving, ”said Oliver. “But of course, the white supremacists themselves look like big fans of what Tucker has been doing.”
Oliver noted that former white supremacist Derek Black, son of the founder of the neo-Nazi website Stormfront, said members of his family are seeking advice on Carlson to move his cause forward.
