What in the Joe Goebbels is this?

This is a clip of Fox News host Tucker Carlson starting a beef with MSNBC journalist Tiffany Cross. 

On Oct. 19, Tucker Carlson opened his show by accusing Cross of fomenting a white genocide, which is one of the foundational beliefs of the “Great Replacement Theory.” Carlson told the largest audience in primetime cable news that Tiffany Cross, MSNBC and her league of angry negroes (of which I am one) are trying to reboot Rwanda’s 1994 ethnic cleansing, which resulted in the mass murder of nearly a million people in 100 days.

But, according to Tucker Carlson, Cross’ mass murder would target white people. 

Who is Tucker Carlson?

Tucker Carlson is a proper noun. 

It is entirely possible that Carlson is the first-generation android from a secret research project funded by Steve Bannon’s border wall scam. He could be an artificially intelligent deep-fake hologram programmed with the data collected from Parler on Jan. 6. Maybe he is Candace Owens’ Pornhub avatar. The research department at theGrio could not independently verify Carlson’s actual humanity. All we can say for sure is that Tucker Carlson is a person, place or thing.

On weeknights, the Carlson Bigotbot 1.0 portrays a human being who has said that white people weren’t designed to live around immigrants and that diversity is bad for America. According to the New York Times, more than 400 episodes and 50 hours of Carlson’s show on Fox News have been dedicated to amplifying the Great Replacement Theory — the idea that “Democratic politicians and others want to force demographic change through immigration.” 

If Tucker Carlson is actually a person, he is definitely “one of a group of militant white people who espouse white supremacy.” Maybe destination TV like “Tucker Carlson Tonight” is just a place to  promote the “social, economic, and political systems that collectively enable white people to maintain power over people of other races.” 

Ultimately, Carlson is just a thing that fits the exact definition of a white nationalist and a white supremacist.  

Who is Tiffany Cross?

Tiffany Cross is a Black woman.

As a frequent guest on “The Cross Connection,” I can verify that she is either a human being or a very good replica of a person who knows things. Tiffany Cross and Tucker Carlson may share the same initials with J.J. Evans’ girlfriend and “Magnum P.I.’s” trusted helicopter pilot, but, unlike Tucker Carlson, Cross was not raised by an heiress, has never been kicked out of an elite Swiss boarding school and did not attend a historically white college. Both briefly worked for CNN, but Carlson has never studied journalism or politics, he has no policy experience, nor has he ever worked as a reporter. 

Cross’ MSNBC show is the direct opposite of Carlson’s. The reverse racism research department at theGrio could not find a single hour of “The Cross Connection” dedicated to amplifying white nationalism or scaring white people into believing in a negro uprising. To be fair, we have also never found any evidence of reverse racism. 

Basically, Tiffany Cross is bizarro Tucker Carlson.

What’s beef?

Historians say the term originated in | today!
