Fox News host Tucker Carlson has pushed the racist “great replacement theory” on television more than 400 times. But after the conspiracy theory was cited by the Buffalo shooting suspect in his online manifesto, Carlson now insists that he does not know what the conspiracy is and that “the left” is responsible for pushing it. In this special report, MSNBC’s Ari Melber calls Carlson out for his hypocrisy, pointing to footage from Carlson’s own show as evidence, and highlights the double standard in his reporting of incidents of gun violence.

Carlson is an entertainer. As such he doesn't have to know anything about what he talks about. His lawyers have said the same and suggested it is silly to believe what he says. I don't believe he doesn't know. He is simply chasing viewership and revenue over truth while trying to avoid lawsuits
