and spewing a white supremacist agenda on Fox News.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Over the weekend, a white supremacist gunman opened fire at a supermarket
in Buffalo, New York.^1

He murdered ten people and injured three others—and eleven of the thirteen
people shot were Black.

Authorities have found a 180-page manifesto, authored by the shooter, in
which he identifies as a white supremacist and antisemite and describes
his intention to attack a Black neighborhood. In his manifesto, the
shooter speaks extensively about the “great replacement” theory, which
asserts that white people are being driven out and replaced by non-white
people in Western societies.^2

It’s a heinous, racist conspiracy theory—and for years, Tucker Carlson has
been known as one of its chief proponents.^3 Carlson openly describes
immigrants in grotesque, inhumane terms—he has argued, on air, that
Democrats were letting in “more obedient voters from the third world” in
order to “replace” the current electorate.^4

[ [link removed]- ]Sign the petition demanding that Fox News de-platform Tucker Carlson.

Every night, this dangerous rhetoric is beamed into millions of homes
across the United States. There’s absolutely no place for this sort of
violent, hateful, dangerous rhetoric—it’s the same sort of sentiment that
has influenced the white supremacist attacks in El Paso, Pittsburgh,
Montreal, and Christchurch in past years.^5

Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before another person is
radicalized into a white supremacist who then feels emboldened to
slaughter innocent people. The stakes are too high to wait.

As long as Fox News and Tucker Carlson continue spewing this garbage, the
violence will continue. Sign the petition to stop Tucker Carlson from
supporting and propagating a white supremacist agenda on Fox News.

Tucker Carlson has built his career on his fear-mongering, racist, and
conservative views. Republicans in Congress and in the media have mimicked
talking points about "great replacement theory." They cannot escape
accountability for actions inspired by their racist rhetoric.

We can't let Tucker have a platform built on misinformation and
disinformation that is getting people murdered. Conservatives can defend
him all they want, but we can see the truth. Tucker Carlson and his
defenders are complicit in giving voice to these white supremacist and
racist ideals. It ends now.

Want to support our work? Right-wing groups are spending tens of millions
of dollars on TV ads to smear critical progressive legislation. Meanwhile,
donations to progressive groups like MoveOn are plummeting now that a
Democrat is in the White House, meaning we don’t have the resources to
fight back. That's a huge problem, and that's why we urgently need your
support.

Will you chip in to fight right-wing lies and pass urgent legislation to
confront the multiple crises our country faces?
