MSNBC regular Jason Johnson claimed that Fox News host Tucker Carlson “basically supports terrorism” during an appearance on Chris Hayes’ show last night.
Carlson has been under fire since he asserted earlier this week that America faces much bigger problems than “white supremacy.”
This angered Johnson, who brazenly suggested that Carlson supports the kind of domestic terrorism exemplified by the El Paso mass shooting.
“For the rest of news the media system, for everybody everybody else who is talking about it, we have to now frame this is as this is someone who basically supports terrorism,” said Johnson.
Johnson’s assertion that Tucker supports political violence is also rich given that he previously justified Antifa violence against police by claiming they were a protection force for white nationalists.
“I see Tucker Carlson as a guy who has repeatedly failed in television,” Johnson also remarked, an odd comment given that Carlson’s show routinely competes with Hannity’s Fox News show for the number one cable news broadcast in America.
IOWA STATE FAIR, DES MOINES, Iowa — Former vice president Joe Biden told Breitbart News on Thursday that President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people,” and insisted that Trump did not condemn them — despite the fact that the video and transcript of Trump’s remarks prove him wrong.
The claim, known to conservative critics as the “Charlottesville hoax” or the “very fine people” hoax, is a core part of Biden’s stump speech, and a staple for many other Democratic presidential contenders as well. It is a key piece of “evidence” cited to support the claim that Trump is a racist who is inciting mass shootings.
Biden began his remarks at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair by repeating the claim that Trump had called neo-Nazis “very fine people”: “Charlottesville — that hate and that venom that we saw, and then the president saying, when asked about the groups … as well as the young woman, when she was killed, he said there were very fine people in both groups. Very fine people. No president, sitting president has ever said something like that. And the only thing that’s happened is it’s gotten worse.”
However, Biden is wrong.
Trump specifically said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”
Here is the video of Trump saying it: "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally"
He used the phrase “very fine people” to refer to non-violent protesters, both left and right, on either side of the question of the removal of a Confederate statue.
In that same press conference, the president also specifically condemned the murder of Heather Heyer, calling it “terrorism” and “murder.”
Breitbart News asked Biden about misquoting Trump, and the following exchange ensued.
Breitbart News: Mr. Vice President, are you aware that you’re misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville, he never called neo-Nazis “very fine people”?
Joe Biden: No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis. Shouting hate, their veins bulging.
Breitbart News: But he said specifically that he was condemning them.
Joe Biden: Not specifically.
Breitbart News: He said —
Joe Biden: No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight. He said there were “very fine people” in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.
Other reporters witnessed the exchange. Politico‘s Natasha Korecki tweeted: “Up close confrontation at the Iowa state fair:this man accuses @JoeBiden of misquoting @realDonaldTrump on white supremacists — and Biden tears into him.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said that President Trump was responsible for creating the environment of “racial conflict and hatred” that led to the El Paso shooting despite the mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio being a big supporter of hers.
Warren answered “yes” when asked by the New York Times if she thought Trump was a white supremacist and went on to blame his rhetoric for the mass shooting in Texas.
The Senator told the paper that Trump “has given aid and comfort to white supremacists” and “Done the wink and a nod. He has talked about white supremacists as fine people. He’s done everything he can to stir up racial conflict and hatred in this country.”
Warren made the assertion despite the fact that the El Paso shooter said in his own manifesto that his beliefs pre-dated Trump and he was not radicalized by Trump.
The Senator also appears to be on thin ground given that the mass shooter in Dayton Ohio, a left-wing extremist who supported Antifa and attended at least one of their rallies, said that he would be voting for Warren if she won the Democratic candidacy.
After initially ignoring voluminous evidence that Connor Betts was a socialist radical, the media had to finally admit that he was a left-wing extremist on Tuesday.
Republican lawmakers led by Sen. Lindsey Graham and his cohorts are discussing new “red flag” laws to take guns from “unstable” individuals.
Last November a 61-year-old Maryland man was shot dead while police were trying to serve him a “red flag” order.
The local officials said it was a sign the law is needed.
There’s more…
The police arrived at his house at 5 AM. The old man had a gun in his hand and was shot dead!
The Anne Arundel County police chief defended Maryland’s new “red flag” protective law Monday, just hours after a 61-year-old man was shot and killed while officers were trying to serve a court order requiring him to surrender his guns.
Chief Timothy Altomare said the fatal shooting in Ferndale was a sign that the law, which went into effect Oct. 1, is needed. There have been 19 protective orders sought in the county since then, tying Harford County for the most in Maryland, according to a report on the first month. Statewide, about half of the 114 orders sought have been granted.
“If you look at this morning’s outcome, it’s tough for us to say ‘Well, what did we prevent?’ ” he said. “Because we don’t know what we prevented or could’ve prevented. What would’ve happened if we didn’t go there at 5 a.m.?”
A leftist activist called for setting Tucker Carlson on fire before subsequently claiming it was a”joke” after he received a backlash.
Tim Hannan, who describes himself as an anti-Trump resistance member and an “average citizen turned activist,”tweeted to his 26,000 followers, “#FireTuckerCarlson – literally light him on fire.”
The tweet was in response to liberal outrage over Carlson’s assertion that paranoia over “white supremacy” was becoming hysterical and that there are numerous other far bigger problems America faces.
As soon as the tweet began catching flak, Hannan tried to backpedal, tweeting, “For the record I hope no one hurts Tucker, this was a joke. Maybe a milkshake filled with piss, though.”
He then appeared to react angrily to the backlash, tweeting, “The people upset over my joke defend the most vile shit daily. Fuck you all.”
Hannan’s original tweet is still up and has not been removed by Twitter.
‘The Hunt’ is about elite liberals paying to hunt rural, conservative Americans in a safari park.
By Richard Moorhead
An upcoming Universal Pictures movie is receiving scrutiny from its own publisher for its graphic depiction of political violence against conservative Americans.
The Hunt is about elite liberals kidnapping conservatives and paying to hunt them in a safari-style theme park in Europe. Watch the trailer here:
It is worth nothing that the movie’s trailer doesn’t exactly imply the film’s premise encouragesviolence against Trump supporters. The liberals paying to kill conservatives are depicted in a clearly villainous fashion, sipping champagne on private planes as their explain their desire to terrorize rural country bumpkins, who see they as less than human beings.
The conservative ‘prey’ in the movie speak with exaggerated southern accents and other stereotypes commonly utilized by the political left to tar right-leaning Americans. Some of them speak of being proud gun owners.
Betty Gilpin stars as a heroine who seeks to rally the other kidnapped “conservatives” in order to escape the twisted theme park.
The release of such a politically contentious movie is being debated at Universal Pictures, the film’s publisher. After the wake of the politically-charged violence seen at Dayton and El Paso, Texas, Universal is said to be reconsidering its promotional strategy for the movie. ESPN already refused to air an ad for ‘The Hunt’ earlier this summer.
‘The Hunt’ is still slated for release on September 27th, but it’s probably possible it will get delayed or even cancelled as this point. The latter possibility is less likely, as the film’s $18 million budget has already been spent.
It’s unclear what kind of reception the film will receive from the broader public. It’s already been a contentious project in Hollywood, where media elites are presumably less than thrilled to see liberal globalists depicted as callous murderers.
Hollywood is promoting a movie depicting a black couple on the run after killing a police officer during a routine traffic stop gone awry.
The unsettling opening of “Queen and Slim” sets the stage for the leading duo – described as a “black Bonnie and Clyde” – to be on the run from authorities.
“There’s going to be people on both sides in this narrative and hopefully most are on the right side of history and that we’re part of changing that narrative into a space that does justice for black people,”said director Melina Matsoukas. “The main theme is love and how in our community as black people that’s our best power to fight against injustice.”
During the lead duo’s odyssey throughout a Hollywood caricature of America’s deep south, Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) and Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) meet characters seemingly inspired by their exploits.
“Y’all gave us something to believe in, we needed that for real,” said one character, with man asking “Y’all the new Black Panthers? Power to the people.”
The lead couple are later reassured by an older woman telling them “don’t worry, you’re safe here.”
