Tucker Carlson: Kamala Harris Will Deny You A COVID-19 Vaccine If You’re Not A ‘Certain Color’

Through the use of selective footage, the Fox News host claimed that Harris would apply affirmative action to coronavirus treatment.

“The disparities that have long existed based on race are now highlighted,” Harris said. ”So one of the things that I’m calling for around this pandemic is that we make decisions about where the resources should go based on that issue.”

Harris was referring to legislation she introduced to create a bipartisan commission that would investigate the U.S. response to the pandemic, including how it had disproportionately affected Black communities. She was also referencing a letter she sent to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), urging them to “require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to prioritize allocation of resources, like testing and PPE, to communities at greatest risk of COVID-19 due to underlying health problems, lack of access to health care and heightened exposure due to the nature of individuals’ work.”

“So we make decisions about where the resources should go to keep people from dying on the basis of skin color,” Carlson said. “So only people of a certain color get the vaccine, for example. That’s what she’s arguing. Now, this is a lot of things. It’s immoral. It’s unconstitutional, obviously. But above all, it is definitely not moderate.”

Carlson also honed in on a clip of Harris calling 18- to 24-year-olds “stupid” that has been also been used by the Trump campaign to discredit former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate.

1. These people project like crazy, don't they?

It is useful, because it helps us know what we may be facing from them.

[JHB]

16. IMAX may have grounds to sue.

Patent infringement, maybe?

[cayugafalls]

2. They got nothing but BS.

Easily disputable with facts and real truth.

The USPS debacle is going to crush them.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. I hope someone gets it on film when Tucker gets punched in the face repeatedly.

[onecaliberal]

4. They're the ones saying they won't take the vaccine. They're just killing people now.

They may as well stand outside with a gun and mow people down.

[underpants]

5. I mispronounce his first name

It rhymes with fire trucker

[JI7]

6. I thought only Snowflakes needed a Vaccine .

[marble falls]

8. and meemaw.

[elleng]

7. PROJECTION!!!

[MagickMuffin]

9. White Supremest Tucker Carlson says what

White Supremest Tucker Carlson is past his expiration date!

[PatSeg]

10. Does Tucker really need that job that badly?

He's always been smug and obnoxious, but I don't remember him being this ludicrous when he was on CNN or MSNBC. It is like he has to say more and more outrageous things to keep an audience. Now he's just a cartoon character.

[Mariana]

13. Of course he says what he needs to keep his audience.

He's a performer and that's his job, to gather an audience for the advertisers - and the more gullible and easily manipulated the audience, the better. He does his job pretty well.

[PatSeg]

15. What a hideous way to make a living

I cannot imagine how these people live with themselves.

[Mariana]

21. He probably doesn't have much of conscience.

I would bet he rationalizes that it's the audience's fault if they take him seriously, when he's just playing a scripted character on a TV show.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes

I seem to recall Hannity, I think, once saying something to that effect. Basically, "We're not real news, we are more entertainment". Somehow, they think that makes them unaccountable for anything.

I remember Jeff Bridge's shock jock character in The Fisher King feeling profound guilt and regret after his show encouraged a mentally unhinged man to go into a restaurant and kill innocent people. I naively thought that most people would feel such guilt if their words caused pain, misery, and even death. It would appear that such remorse only happens in movies. These monsters will never take responsibility for anything they do.

[Mariana]

25. Hannity's and Carlson's shows don't even pretend to be news shows.

They are editorial shows, offering opinions and commentary. It's not the same thing - although I suspect most of their audience don't really pick up on the difference.

[PatSeg]

26. And in their world,

editorial is synonymous with propaganda. It has gone way beyond opinions and commentary, it is often just wild fictitious ramblings. Anything to lure and hold an audience, but they know it is all just made up crap. It is like we are living in a parody of parody, hard to believe there are so many people who actually believe this malarkey (lately I find Joe's word comes in handy, so I don't have to say "shit" so often).

[SiliconValley_Dem]

11. people on the trump far right are so horrible

[Hekate]

12. So you're saying that's what you would do, Pucker?

Got it.

[smirkymonkey]

14. He is such a racist POS!

I wish they would fire his pasty white ass. I can't stand that smug motherfucker!

[uponit7771]

17. So openly racist

[Initech]

18. There is humanity, and then there is Fox News.

Which is everything that is soulless and wrong with the world, and responsible for nearly everything bad in the last 30 years.

[dawg]

19. Yeah, 'cause of course she would deny them to her husband and children.

[LAS14]

20. Was he always this blatant? Like when he was on that show with James Carville? This...

...is just unbelievable. Like everything these days...

[MissMillie]

23. Where do they come up with this stuff? (n/t)

.

[HotTeaBag]

24. Carlson is only talking to the same people over and over and over again who aren't voting for

Biden/Harris anyway.

He needs to fill airtime between My Pillow and medication for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis ads.

[ananda]

27. How is he still on the air?

I thought he lost all his advertisers.

Boycott!
