Carlson is sure to receive fresh scrutiny in the wake of the Buffalo tragedy. Beyond the massacre in Christchurch, fears of a “great replacement” have fueled numerous mass shootings and other acts of violence against immigrant communities in the US in recent years, including the 2019 El Paso mass shooting inside a Walmart store. Also reportedly referenced in the manifesto is the gunman who killed 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.

Trump and Carlson are enabling and encouraging hate speech in America. The consequences have now struck home in brutal fashion. "Now, that is a direct borrowing of language and concepts from white nationalists and not just conservatives. Instead of rejecting, Trump actively urged the white supremacists The Proud Boys to “stand by” for future instructions. Maybe that is why he live-streamed his murders, to show just how much hate he was able to tap into starting with a president who refused to condemn white racism. What do you want to call them? TRUMP: You want to call them?

The racist "great replacement theory" allegedly espoused by the suspect in Saturday's Buffalo supermarket shooting has long been a talking point for Fox ...

“We’re putting policies in place with the express purpose of having fewer White people in universities and positions of power. And we’re celebrating the reduction in the White population. “So we’re bringing in a flood of immigrants across the southern border, non-White,” Walsh said in the video. She said liberals and Democrats were pursuing immigration policies that are “a plot to remake America, to replace American citizens with illegals who will vote for the Democrats.” After he was called out for promoting the theory in April 2021, Carlson said on his show: “I mean, everyone wants to make a racial issue out of it. Charlie Kirk, a conservative pundit who heads Turning Point USA and sometimes appears as a guest on Carlson’s program, defended Carlson’s “replacement” advocacy last year.

The suspected shooter expressed repeated fears online that whites are being replaced by people of color, The New York Times reported.

“Any act of domestic terrorism, including an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America,” he added. The horrific crime “points to an effort to exact domestic terrorism that is racially motivated,” he added. We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism.” The conspiracy has been cited as motivation in several racist mass shootings, including the killing of 20 people in an El Paso store in 2019 and the killing of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. Just a week ago, Carlson was dubbed in an MSNBC column the “No. 1 champion” of the racist ideology ― someone who repeatedly warns of invasions of “illegals” and has insisted that President Joe Biden wants to “ change the racial mix” of the nation. The suspect in the fatal shooting of 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday was reportedly haunted in his writing by the “great replacement” conspiracy theory — a viciously racist view of the world that has been touted by Fox News host Tucker Carlson and several other far-right personalities.

This once fringe ideology, which was at the heart of Nazism, has gained mainstream traction thanks in part to the likes of Tucker Carlson on Fox News.

Any supporter of White Replacement Theory is a clear enemy of the Jewish People. With its attacks on “Critical Race Theory”, this is a fact that the American political right is deliberately and knowingly trying to erase from our collective consciousness, so they can appeal to it again as a political weapon against liberal democracy. American Jews who support Tucker Carlson and his ilk, that is, others who repeat the White Replacement narrative, are supporters both of anti-Black racism, and antisemitism in its most violent form. White Replacement Theory is deeply ingrained in the worst aspects of American and European history. You will not find Tucker Carlson asserting that the Jews are behind the mass replacement of American whites that he bemoans regularly in what is regularly the most watched cable news show in the United States among adults 25-54. The ideology that motivated Gendron’s mass murder in Buffalo, White Replacement Theory, has a lengthy and blood-soaked 20th century history. Gendron’s manifesto begins in a similar fashion to Tarrant’s, by decrying the “white genocide” that will result from the supposedly low fertility rates of white populations and the high fertility rates of non-white immigrants brought in to “replace” them. The real actors behind White Replacement, according to Gendron, are the Jews, a topic which occupies the subsequent 29 pages of his manifesto. White Replacement Theory was the dominant structuring narrative of Nazi ideology. Hitler also was obsessed by mass immigration, and the threat it posed to “white civilization.” After entering the store, he murdered the store’s guard, and by the end of his killing spree, he had shot 13 people, killing 10 of them. The first listed goal in his manifesto was to “kill as many blacks as possible”.

On Sunday morning, there was barely a mention of the horrific Buffalo shooting on Fox News. Could there be a reason?

and let other people clean up the mess they had made." It's a liberal plot, "to change the racial mix of the country," Carlson told viewers on Sept. 22, 2021. ) and the 2019 mosque shootings at Christchurch New Zealand, in which 51 people were gunned down by a fanatic who was obsessed with "white genocide." The term "Great Replacement" is, as Carlson modestly notes, not his own. The Great Replacement Theory isn't new. The one where 11 of the 13 victims were African American? The one where the killer posted a manifesto citing the "great replacement theory" as his motivation? It's all scientific stuff; it's been proved." — and something about chickens in Times Square. Perhaps an expert saying we shouldn't rush to judgment and call it a hate crime. Everyone spins in their own way. We watched Fox News for an hour and a half Sunday morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., curious to hear their take on this horrific event. The one being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism?

Attack that killed 10 people at grocery store on Saturday was latest example of attacker espousing the far-right conspiracy theory.

Dr Oware countered that deplatforming was not the answer: “I strongly believe that Tucker Carlson should NOT be kicked off his show or that his rhetoric should be censored in any way. Many disagree on how to handle the rhetoric being increasingly spread by the far right. “The racist anger existed before Carlson. Tucker is just capitalizing on it.” Others on the far-right have flirted with white nationalist figures and rhetoric for even longer. I think we must ask hurt folk why they feel hurt and why they displace their anger onto specific types of populations,” Dr Oware said in an interview. “I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term ‘replacement,’ if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the third world.

Replacement theory, espoused by the suspect in the Buffalo massacre, has been embraced by some right-wing politicians and commentators.

The line nearly matches one of Mr. Carlson’s go-to attacks on Fox. “How, precisely, is diversity our strength?” Mr. Carlson asked in a 2018 segment. The third came in April 2021, when Mr. Carlson drew calls for Fox to fire him after defending the idea of demographic “replacement” on the network. He wrote that he got his news from Reddit. He began browsing 4chan in May 2020 “after extreme boredom,” he wrote, and quickly found a gateway to anti-Black and antisemitic replacement content. “Tucker Carlson may lead that charge — but he’s backed by Republican elected officials and other leaders eager to amplify this deadly conspiracy.” Throughout his presidency, Mr. Trump filled his public speeches and Twitter feed with often inflammatory, sometimes false rhetoric about immigrants, and he employed the term “invaders” in arguing for a border wall. Mr. Carlson’s replacement rhetoric comes without the explicitly antisemitic elements common on racist web platforms. One page of the Australian’s document includes a purported count of Jews working at the senior levels of major media outlets, including Fox itself. The poll also found that people who mostly watched right-wing media outlets like Fox News, One American News Network and Newsmax were more likely to believe in replacement theory than those who watched CNN or MSNBC. Democratic politicians have generally been more supportive of immigration than Republicans, especially in the post-Trump era, and have pushed for more humane treatment of migrants and refugees. No public figure has promoted replacement theory more loudly or relentlessly than the Fox host Tucker Carlson, who has made elite-led demographic change a central theme of his show since joining Fox’s prime-time lineup in 2016. Social media sites and internet forums, he added, are “like a focus group for pure outrage.” But replacement theory, once confined to the digital fever swamps of Reddit message boards and semi-obscure white nationalist sites, has gone mainstream.

This year's bloodiest mass shooting in America has claimed the lives of 10 people in a supermarket massacre that left 13 others injured, 11 of whom were black.

Reed Richards was originally going to be played by Daniel Craig, according to Kroll’s tweets, but the actor ultimately decided against taking the role since COVID cases were on the increase in London at the time of filming and he didn’t believe it was worth the risk for a fast shot. The more information you have about a topic, the easier it is to be mindful and slow down. The quicker you are to make your decision, like abortion, it may hurt both you and your child later on. Currently, 17 states restrict Medicaid funds from being used for abortions (8 of which require legislative approval before an abortion can be performed using Medicaid funding). In addition, other state-funded health insurance providers are often required to have similar restrictions. When Kate McKinnon plays an NBC news anchor, she begins by reporting on the Buffalo shootings, Ukraine’s war, a downed helicopter, and a nationwide shortage of baby formula before transitioning to say that the Depp v. Abortion has been a very controversial topic in the USA ever since Roe v Wade was enacted.

Ideas from the conspiracy theory reportedly filled a manifesto apparently posted online by the white man identified as the gunman in the Buffalo shooting.

And in a final clip from September last year, Carlson references the theory by name. "Tucker Carlson pushing Great Replacement Theory, all in one place, courtesy of the @MehdiHasanShow on @MSNBC," Hasan wrote alongside the clip. So-called replacement theory has inspired recent violence, including the 2019 mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, and a 2018 shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

"What Tucker Carlson is doing ... in peddling white nationalist talking points is dangerous," says CNN's Acosta.

We have to stand up as a society." "How are we going to pivot away from this domestic terrorism that we have seen?" Police discovered a manifesto that addressed the "great replacement" theory, which holds that Democrats are somehow orchestrating an increase in people of color to intentionally dominate white people.

It has become a grotesque ritual in American life that whenever a white nationalist kills enough people to briefly seize the attention of the national media ...

The fact that Gendron has a problem with the likes of Chris Wallace and Jonah Goldberg is not a divide between him and Carlson but a point of common ground. “It is virtually impossible to find any ideology on any part of the political spectrum that has not spawned senseless violence and mass murder by adherents,” he writes. Carlson, like Trump, serves as a bridge between the Republican Party and a movement once seen as too extreme and marginal for the party to touch. White nationalists see Carlson as their champion, and so too does the vast majority of the conservative movement. To reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived here and dramatically increase the proportion of Americans newly arrived from the Third World … This is the language of eugenics. We learned that the hard way a couple of months ago. This is their version of democracy, or if you don’t like the outcome, you just change the electorate. He describes illegal immigration as a conflict between racial groups, with the arrival of one causing the elimination of the other. But the banal notion that immigration has political implications is not the issue. Obviously, adding immigrants to the population is a completely different thing than replacing the current population. It casts the phenomenon as a sinister elite conspiracy often (though not necessarily) directed by Jews. Rather than complain about the difficulties or failures of immigration enforcement, or blaming Democrats for their unwillingness to accept the tough measures that might be needed to tighten enforcement, great-replacement theory believes a secret cabal has been directing this policy for its own benefit. Carlson’s allies on the right wish to exculpate him of any blame for the violence committed by his adherents.

The Fox News host has been pushing the theory for at least a year.

"But they become hysterical because that's that's what's happening actually. A compilation of him touting the ideas recently went viral on social media. "So I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement', if you suggest the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the third world," Mr Carlson said.
