Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous \u2018Replacement Theory\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1526623234132688896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Schumer sent a letter to Fox News executives and Carlson on Tuesday morning demanding that they put an immediate stop to promoting \u201cReplacement Theory\u201d on the network. Schumer\u2019s letter came after a gunman killed 10 people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in an allegedly racially motivated attack. A manifesto believed to be written by the killer cites \u201cReplacement Theory,\u201d which the gunman describes as a scheme orchestrated by elite Jewish leaders to dilute the white population in the U.S. by taking in minority immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, these types of beliefs have existed at the fringes of American life,\u201d Schumer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/oliverdarcy\/status\/1526586403907420160\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cHowever, this pernicious theory, which has no basis in fact, has been injected into the mainstream thanks in large part to a dangerous level of amplification by your network and its anchors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson has never advocated for the shooter\u2019s race-based, anti-Semitic Replacement Theory. Carlson has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/tucker-carlson-border-situation-country-forever\">warned<\/a> that demographic changes due to excessive immigration could have significant political impacts and change voting patterns generally, an idea that has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2020\/11\/12\/2020-election-analysis-democrats-future-david-shor-interview-436334\">promoted<\/a> by political thinkers and analysts on both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer also said that Fox News and Carlson share some portion of blame for a series of mass shootings in recent years, including the shooting in Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge you to take into consideration the very real impacts of the dangerous rhetoric being broadcast on your network on a nightly basis,\u201d Schumer wrote. \u201cIn 2018, a white man who killed 11 worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue blamed Jews for allowing immigrant \u2018invaders\u2019 into the United States. In 2019, a white man who expressed anger over \u2018the Hispanic invasion of Texas\u2019 killed 23 people at an El Paso Walmart and later told police he sought to kill Mexicans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declined an offer to appear on \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d after he accused Fox News and host Tucker Carlson of promoting racist conspiracy theories.Schumer said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1483456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1478444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1478444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1483456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1478444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1478444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1478444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
