: Twee Tucker has a lot of fans on the Neo-Nazi fringe apparently. And why not? Tucker Carlson has become their very best salesman.

Anti-Defamation League chief says Tucker Carlson 'must go' after endorsing neo-Nazi conspiracy theory (Raw Storylink): Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday endorsed the "great replacement" conspiracy theory that's been used by white supremacists as justification to commit mass murder.

During his show, Carlson claimed it was "true" that "the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate" with "new people, more obedient voters from the Third World."

Responding to this, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called on Fox News to fire Carlson for his most overt embrace yet of white nationalist rhetoric.

"'
Replacement theory' is a white supremacist tenet that the white race is in danger by a rising tide of non-whites,"Greenblatt wrote on Twitter. "It is antisemitic, racist and toxic. It has informed the ideology of mass shooters in El Paso, Christchurch and Pittsburgh. Tucker must go."

Although Carlson claims that he is not a neo-Nazi, actual neo-Nazis frequently praise and cite his show, and Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin has described Carlson as "literally our greatest ally."

Data Shows Tucker Carlson Is The Daily Stormer’s Favorite Pundit
(BuzzFeedlink): It’s no secret that Andrew Anglin, among the United States’ most prominent white supremacists, loves Tucker Carlson.

Enamored of the Fox News host’s antagonistic interviews with liberals and people of color, his hostility toward multiculturalism, his xenophobic reports about migration at the southern border, and his outright regurgitation of white nationalist talking points about white farmers in South Africa, Anglin has described Carlson’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, as “basically ‘Daily Stormer: The Show'” — a reference to Anglin’s notorious website. He has called Carlson“literally our greatest ally.” 

Now, new research shared with BuzzFeed News reveals just how obsessed the Daily Stormer is with the 49-year-old Carlson, who is the subject of hundreds of stories on the site over the past two years, far more than any other conservative pundit.

An analysis by an independent researcher, who requested anonymity because he feared retaliation from Anglin and other neo-Nazis, found that Carlson had been featured in 265 articles on the Daily Stormer between November 2016 and November 2018. 

Mod: Now that is fandom. More at the link.
