Tucker Carlson Accused Of Echoing White Supremacist Talking Points On Fox News

Source: Huff Post

Fox News host’s on-screen graphic is being compared to the infamous “14 words.”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is getting slammed on social media for an on-screen graphic that echoes a key white supremacist talking point.

With an image on the screen of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) ― both women of color born overseas ― Carlson’s text warned that “we have to fight to preserve our nation & heritage.”

Critics said the phrase looked like an homage to the infamous “14 words,” or the white supremacist slogan “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

Many were quick to point out the similarities on Twitter: The comments have been less than kind.

I tell those who are FOX viewers..."If you watch FOX, you must be a white supremacist." They get their undies in a bunch and tell me they are not one.
