Tucker Carlson IS a phony.

His career on TV has been marked by bigoted and racist comments, and a malicious misrepresentation of facts, that do nothing more than divide our country and put people’s lives at risk. 

Will you join me in demanding Tucker Carlson resign from Fox News right now?

I spoke out against acts of vandalism that occurred at Tucker’s home a few years ago. I did it because I believe violence and personal attacks are never the answer. 

But instead of using that moment to think about how his words impact the lives of everyday people, Tucker chose to continue on like business as usual.

He even perpetuated the lie on his show that I wanted to “take everyone’s guns” — causing an uproar, and leading to death threats against me and my family.

And now Tucker Carlson is turning his hate-fueled mob on journalists simply doing their job. Here’s what is happening:

First: Tucker was accused of sexual misconduct along with Sean Hannity and others at Fox News;

Then: Tucker erroneously claimed that the New York Times was going to publish his address because they “hated his politics” and “wanted his show off air” — even though the Times told him they weren’t going to do so.

Now: Tucker’s fans have widely circulated the personal information of the reporter Tucker identified as writing a story that would put his life in danger.

Enough is enough. 

Tucker Carlson’s falsehoods and misinformation have gone too far. His show continues to put people’s lives at risk, simply for the purpose of selling ads and staying on air.
