The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League on Monday gave Lachlan Murdoch, Fox’s CEO, an award he gave to his father a decade ago, “do not exclude him, him, the network or his board from the moral failure not to take action “against Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Jonathan Greenblatt has called for Carlson to be sacked for advocating a “white substitute” theory, a racist approach that believes the Democratic Party prefers unlimited immigration to promote his vote.
On Monday night, Carlson called his critics ‘hysterical … hyper-aggressive liars’ and refused to back down.
“Demographic change is the key to the political ambitions of the Democratic Party,” he said. “… To win and retain power, the Democrats plan to change the population of the country.”
In his letter to Greenblatt, Lachlan Murdoch wrote: “Fox Corporation shares your values and abhors anti-Semitism, white supremacy and any racism. In fact, I remember the ADL that honored my father with your International Leadership Award, and we continue to support your mission.
“As for the segment of Tucker Carlson Tonight on April 8, however, we do not agree with respect. A complete review … indicates that Mr. Carlson rejected and rejected the replacement theory. As Mr. Carlson himself said during the guest interview: ‘White replacement theory? No, no, that’s a voting right question. ‘”
In a response to CNN, Greenblatt said: ‘Although I appreciate the sentiment that you and your father still support ADL’s mission, the support of Mr. Carlson for the ‘great replacement theory’ in direct contrast to the mission.
“… ADL honored your father a decade ago, but let me be clear that we would not do it today, and that does not absolve you, him, the network or its council from the moral failure not to go against Carlson. to act. . ”
Greenblatt also said Carlson’s ‘attempt to dismiss the racist theory first’, while endorsing it in the next breath under the guise of ‘voting rights’, did not give him the free license to invoke a white supremacist herd not.
‘In fact, it’s worse, because he’s using a straw man – the right to vote – to give a covert endorsement of white supremacist beliefs, while ironically pointing out that it’s not really white supremacism. Although your answer calls for a ‘complete overview’ of the interview, it seems that the judges missed the essential point here. ”
Murdoch may have reason to review Carlson’s remarks on Monday.
“There are now about twice as many registered Democrats in California as there are Republicans,” Carlson said. ‘How did it happen? There is not much debate about it. The counties in California with the highest percentage of Republicans are not coincidentally those with the lowest percentage of immigrants, and vice versa.
‘California has changed because the population has changed. Analysis of the 2012 presidential election, for example, showed that if you were actually from there and if you lived in the state of California in 1980, you were probably still voting Republican. Your views have not really changed.
‘But as your state swelled with foreign voters, your view became irrelevant. Your political power, the power to control your own life, has disappeared with the arrival of new people who have diluted your voice. And that was the whole point. This is not democracy. This is fraud. ”
Carlson, the heir to a fortune earned in TV dinners, has been a conservative provocateur for years. The Murdochs are immigrants, and Fox News critics like to oppose them.
Rupert Murdoch, 90, became a U.S. citizen in 1985 and gave up Australian citizenship to buy a TV network. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, he ‘has lived in the United States since 1973. He joined 185 other strangers in the courtroom. ‘
Lachlan Murdoch, 49, was born in London and trained in the USA. In 2018, he bought a mansion in LA for $ 150 million. According to Fox News, he “continued to divide his time between Los Angeles, New York and Sydney”.
