Well, with only a change of five letters and the city's name, that's happening now.

Only an idiot or an Alabama boy can watch Tucker Carlson for five minutes without hurling. |

Rally in Martinez yesterday. The city where a couple, one wearing a Trump 2020 shirt, tried to paint out an authorized "Black Lives Matter." sign on the street. The same Martinez where white supremacist flyers were spread around on June 27. The same Martinez where a white man brandished a gun to intimidate BLM demonstrators. The same incident where Tucker Carlson praised the white couple who spread paint on the sign. The same Tucker Carlson whose writer Blake Neff was forced to resign after posting racist posts under a pseudonym. Tell me again how much things have changed under the white supremacist in chief.
| Quote: | Blake Neff, who joined Tucker Carlson Tonight in 2017, resigned on Friday after a CNN investigation.
It found that Mr Neff regularly used highly offensive language on an online forum called AutoAdmit under the name CharlesXII.
Fox News described the posts as "horrendous and deeply offensive". Mr Carlson is yet to comment.
What did the posts say?
There were many posts under the pseudonym including derogatory comments African-Americans, Asian-Americans and women.
These included: "Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down" and "honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep."
Fox News broke the UK's broadcasting rules
Nigel Farage hired by Fox News as a political analyst
He also maintained a thread harassing a woman and posted information about her personal life.
The posts came to light after CNN received a tip-off that CharlesXII was in fact Mr Neff. They were able to identify him by matching up content in his messages with publicly available information about him.
What has Fox said?
"Neff's abhorrent conduct on this forum was never divulged to the show or the network until Friday, at which point we swiftly accepted his resignation," the network said in an internal memo.
"Make no mistake, actions such as his cannot and will not be tolerated at any time in any part of our work force." |
Of course, before he threw him under the bus the not-woke Carlson had lavished praise on Neff. I'm sure that Fox' coverage was so balanced that they never noticed that Neff was a bigot. Yup, and watch for money under your pillow from the tooth fairy. |

So the Washington Redskins are now going to change their name, getting rid of "Redskins", even though many native Indians have said that they aren't offended by that name.
But there is a problem already, "Redskins" is only half of the problem, no mention of "Washington" being a slave master and all that.
So I have a suggestion, they should be named the "D.C. Censors", and this could be their logo, in the middle of the field and on the sides of their helmets. |

My suggestion is that they change their name to the Orangeskins for our current and possibly best president EVER!!!! |

Your boy Tucker:

Tucker Carlson took out the old Fox News playbook on Monday night: When bad news surfaces, attack the people who broke it, and brush aside the unflattering substance.
In a brief segment on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the host said this:
Over the weekend you may have seen stories about a writer on this show called Blake Neff. For years, since he was in college, Blake posted anonymously on an Internet message board for law school students. On Friday, many of those posts became public. Blake was horrified by the story, and he was ashamed. Friday afternoon, he resigned from his job. We want to say a couple of things about this.
First, what Blake wrote anonymously was wrong. We don’t endorse those words. They have no connection to this show. It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control. In this country, we judge people for what they do, not for how they were born. We often say that, because we mean it. We will continue to defend that principle, often alone among national news programs, because it is essential. Nothing is more important.
Blake fell short of that standard and he has paid a very heavy price for it. But we should also point out, to the ghouls now beating their chests in triumph at the destruction of a young man, that self-righteousness also has its costs. We are all human. When we pretend we are holy, we are lying. When we pose as blameless in order to hurt other people, we are committing the gravest sin of all. And we will be punished for it. There’s no question.
Carlson’s comments cap off a turbulent weekend that began with a scoop from CNN’s Oliver Darcy, who reported that the top writer for the program had posted racist, sexist and homophobic remarks on AutoAdmit, a website that traffics in hateful commentary. The writer, Blake Neff, had worked at “Tucker Carlson Tonight” for more than three years. In an interview with the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, Neff boasted, “Anything he’s reading off the teleprompter, the first draft was written by me,” and added that “I’ve gotten used to what he likes and what he thinks about.” The magazine noted that Neff and Carlson “see eye to eye on most issues.” |

Tell that to de Blasio, the worst mayor in history. |
