From The Right To The Masses
One of the public services Tucker Carlson provided at Fox, and now at X, is giving broader exposure for news first reported in more niche areas of the right. He did this again on Friday by letting his millions of followers know that George Floyd wasn’t murdered, as Zero Hedge reported.
The key part of Tucker’s Episode 32 was his monologue, where he pointed out that the chief medical examiner Andrew Baker found that George Floyd had essentially died of natural causes.
The rest of this episode would have been better spent interviewing a legal or forensic expert, but instead, perhaps to demonstrate he wasn’t racist, Tucker had on an African American author who sounded disconcertingly like comedic actor J.B. Smoove (best known for playing “Leon” on Curb Your Enthusiasm) and argued implausibly that Martin Luther King Jr.’s rhetoric from the 1960s is what held George Floyd back in life.
