Fox News's Tucker Carlson typically targets individuals, and then his lint-licking fire-breathing supporters go into attack mode. It's not pretty, either. He stokes the culture wars he started, then lets his fans feed off the hatred the Fox News host created. He's sort of like Donald Trump, who acts like an arsonist who starts a fire, then is the first one to run out to safety while blaming everyone that got burnt inside.
During an interview, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained that death threats spike any time Tucker Carlson mentions her name.
"There is a major media outlet that is fueling political violence in this country, and we're acting like it's normal. It's not normal," she said in a radio interview with "The Breakfast Club." "I can tell you 110% — one of the largest sources of death threats that I get is Tucker Carlson."
"Every time that dude puts his name in my mouth — the next day — I mean, this is like what stochastic terrorism is," she continued. "When you use a very large platform to turn up the temperature and target an individual until something happens. And then when something happens, because it's indirect, you say, 'Oh, I had nothing to do with that.'"
"He plays a massive role in political violence," she added. "It comes on his doorsteps, specifically."
AOC isn't the first politician that's called out Tucker. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) has shared disturbing messages that he's received from fans of Tucker Carlson. This is what Tucker does. He lacks the empathy gene, and he won't stop until someone gets hurt, and then he'll complain that people are trying to "cancel" him. Any normal person would be appalled by the death threats, but Tucker isn't a normal person. He's an arsonist who enjoys starting fires.
