On Monday evening, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took NYC City Councilman Jumaane Wilson to task after the lawmaker compared Dr. Ben Carson to a white supremacist.
CNS News reports:
“To me, the Trump administration, particularly much of the conservative agenda, we have to ask why people believe neo-Nazism, why people who believe in supremacy support those agendas, support those ideologies, support those policies, and Ben Carson is a part of those who support it, and it is a problem,” said Wilson.
Host Tucker Carlson challenged Wilson, asking, “So is Ben Carson a white supremacist too now?”
“No, I believe he and many others around Trump support the same things that supremacists and Nazis support. That is clear,” Wilson replied.
“Is that Ben Carson’s fault? Maybe he sincerely believes what he believes. Why are you trying to tar him with white supremacy?” Carlson asked.
“Oh, that’s fine, then we just have to acknowledge. As long as we’re acknowledging that the Nazis and the supremacists believe them as well because of their exclusive policies and who they’re going to exclude and who they’re going to serve,” Wilson said.
“Do you know what McCarthyism was? That was smearing people unfairly with the beliefs of those they had nothing in common with. You would say, you know … did you know, you’re a vegetarian. So is Adolf Hitler. Are you a Nazi? I mean that’s insane and unfair,” Carlson said.
“The policies of the right oftentimes exclude people and keep them under oppression, and we’ve been saying that for quite some time. That is why the Nazis and the supremacists support those views and support those policies,” said Wilson.
