Tucker Carlson lambasted CNN Tuesday night for their claims regarding the QAnon conspiracy. CNN has claimed the group was spreading "misinformation" but ignored Democrat politicians' and the network's own previous false statements.
"It's worth finding out where the public is getting all this false information, this disinformation as we'll call it. So we checked, we spent all day trying to locate the famous QAnon, which in the end we learned is not even a website. If it's out there, we could not find it. Then we checked Marjorie Taylor Green's Twitter feed because we have heard she traffics in disinformation CNN told us, but nothing there."
Carlson continued, "Next, we called our many friends in the tight-knit intelligence community. Could Vladimir Putin be putting this stuff out there? The Proud Boys? Alex Jones?"
"Who is lying to America in ways that are certain to make us hate each other and certain to destroy our core institutions? Well, none of the above, actually. It wasn't Marjorie Taylor Greene. It was cable news. It was politicians talking on TV, they're the ones spreading disinformation to Americans. Maybe they are from QAnon."
Keyboard activists and left wing outlets like Media Matters took to Twitter Tuesday night to bash Carlson in response to the segment. They shared only 20 seconds of the clip trying to frame it as if the host couldn’t find believers of Q Anon, rather than watching the clip in it's entirety.
Carlson showed a montage of Democrat politicians including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, making the false claim that blacks were killed by police because of their race.
Following the clip, Carlson highlighted the claims. "So not only are huge numbers of unarmed African-Americans murdered every year because of their race to deny that or question that fact is to effectively participate in those killings herself denying this is denying them life as Harris put it."
The host pivoted to a clip of CNN's Don Lemon justifying the violence last summer by asking what is a proportionate response to the percieved injustice of the killings. "This is the missing piece of the puzzle or all the victims of this indiscriminate racial violence. Well in January, MSNBC was pretty sure they had found one. The channel claimed cops had tried to execute an unarmed African-American man called Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. And they repeated that claim that Jacob Blake was unarmed again. And again, and again."
Carlson concluded the segment by using more clips from the media flasely claiming Blake was unarmed when he was shot.
