VA Jury Hears Horrific Audio from Unite the Right Rally

Christopher "Crying Nazi" Cantwell, one of two dozen white supremacists and their affiliated groups being sued for their participation in the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, prepped for his trial by watching Tucker Carlson on Fox News, according to a report.A man who shared a prison unit with Cantwell said that a group of white supremacists would regularly gather to watch Carlson's evening diatribes together. Cantwell, according to the source, felt a kinship with the TV host, whose messages he reportedly found emboldening.
Among those messages was the "Great Replacement Theory," which led to chants of "Jews Will Not Replace Us," by attendees of the Unite the Right rally.
Christopher Cantwell, known as "the Crying Nazi," turned the opening statements of his trial into a racist open-mic session in which he dropped the N-word and plugged his podcast.
Cantwell and 19 other white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and their various organizations are accused of conspiring to incite racially-motivated violence at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia four years ago which left one person dead and dozens injured.
Cantwell and white nationalist Richard Spencer are the only two defendants who are representing themselves in the case. Spencer has entered the courthouse everyday since Monday in a black trenchcoat and a black flat cap.

Perpetrators of recent mass shootings have cited iterations of the theory in “manifestos†attempting to justify their actions.
Carlson raised the theory in April, claiming it was not racist but a matter of hardball politics. The ADL chief executive, Jonathan Greenblatt, called for Carlson to be fired.

Tucker Carlson is right.There's a big push to flood Western countries with Immigrants.
The goal is to get rid of Natural Born Citizens and replace them with Immigrants.

Yeah, this is not a "theory," t's a fact. Tucker is of course correct, as he usually always is.And please spare me the BS race card. This is not about "race."
Oh Trumpers...
Now they have to wait until one of the even further Far-Right outlets like Newsmax, Dailywire or One America News picks up Carlson to keep hearing his nonsense.
Shame on Rupert Murdoch for being a spineless coward.
The truth is, Tucker wasn't nearly as extreme as the true alt-right. They complained all the time about how he compromised on certain issues, or "demonized" China, or "embraced lgbtq".
You may laugh and jeer and that's fine, just be aware the people who watched Tucker will find someone far more extreme then he ever was.
@cdtm
You can carry Tucker's water all you like, but he has a long history of saying extremely bigoted to outright racist remarks, often disguised as "just asking questions" and they're all recorded. Then there's all the lies he knew were lies that we've seen in the subpoenaed text and emails.
eg Claiming that immigrants were responsible in making the Potomac River "dirtier and dirtier", which is also Rigthwing code for "immigrants are dirty". Tucker Carlson falsely claims immigrants are dirtying the Potomac River
Don't worry though, I'm sure he'll be picked up by one of the even more Far-Right outlets and he'll be able to let the mask fully slip off and you can cheer him on.

Well I'm not really arguing he's a good person rob.
One thing that doesn't really help is when you have an official saying don't blame the violent kids for trashing stuff though. You know the whole deal where if you happen to be a violent mob that is seen as oppressed then you must be justified. Never ever blame the powerless even if the powerless are burning cars and buildings and loading. That happens you could pretend it doesn't but it definitely is one of the main narratives here. You're either a bigot or you're someone that's super duper tolerant because oppression. It's stupid.
Maybe there is a middle ground where you can be an antisocial our soul regardless of the color of your skin or your place in the social pecking order. Just maybe. Maybe everyone deserves a good stern lecture once in a while. I don't know.
You're just arguing that Tucker 'wasn't that bad' and he is, he's very bad. He had a massive audience and he used his time to sow fear and rage and spread lies, he knew were lies, that helped fuel the domestic terrorist attack on the capital, insurrection and failed coup.
I really hope Tucker takes Russia Today's job offer and full on drops his mask, would at least be the first honest thing he's done in decades, maybe his whole life.
