Hannity, Tucker Carlson Cover Ilhan Omar Comments on Being 'Fearful of White Men'

Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity ran a clip on Thursday night of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) supposedly calling for the racial profiling of “white men” in America, but failed to acknowledge the full context of her comments.

During Carlson’s primetime show, the host, who has said Omar — who came to the U.S. as a child refugee — is “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country,” accused the lawmaker of claiming “that if America cared about keepings its citizens, we’d stop worrying about Islamic terrorism — which is really no problem at all — and instead profile white men.”

Hannity also included the clip during the airing of his show — just before President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly suggested that Omar should “go back” to Africa, appeared on Fox News for a phone interview.

“Omar said that American should be more fearful of white men,” Hannity opined, before adding: “In reality, we should be most fearful of the squad’s radical SOCIALIST ideology. It will destroy this country.”
