NBC News writes that Fox News personality Tucker Carlson is facing intense scrutiny from extremism experts, media watchdogs and progressive activists who say there is a link between the top-rated host’s “great replacement” rhetoric and the apparent mindset of the suspect in the weekend’s deadly rampage in Buffalo, New York.

Carlson went on his show and did his best to distance himself from the mass murders.

Carlson claimed the suspect’s 180-page document was not aligned with the political right or left, describing it as a “rambling pastiche of slogans and internet memes” as well as a “product of a diseased and disorganized mind.” He also accused Democratic politicians of exploiting the gun violence for political gain.

FTVLive’s take:

It is clear that the shooter in Buffalo was a flat-out racist, and since most of his “manifesto” was plagiarized, we likely don’t know what shaped his demented mind to kill so many innocent people.

I can’t say if it was Tucker Carlson, or Fox News or something else, and I’m not going to try and guess.

But, if I were Tucker Carlson or running Fox News, it might be a good time to take a step back and say, what exactly are we doing here?

If 10 people are gunned down while shopping for food and people are looking at you as the possible reason, maybe, just maybe, you are doing it wrong.

Just saying….
