Just last week he unfurled a bizarre conspiracy theory that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49754\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the FBI had orchestrated the January 6th riots<\/a><\/strong> in Washington, D.C. But now he&#8217;s going after the military, specifically, General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff <em>(video below)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mark Milley is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He didn\u2019t get that job because he\u2019s brilliant or because he\u2019s brave or because the people who know him respect him. He is not and they definitely don\u2019t. Milley got the job because he is obsequious. He knows who to suck up to, and he&#8217;s more than happy to do it. Feed him a script and he will read it. Here&#8217;s Milley yesterday, the man in charge of this nation&#8217;s weapons, explaining his working to understand a concept called &#8220;white rage.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whereupon, Carlson ran a video clip of Gen. Milley explaining the importance of being informed and conscious of the diversity in the ranks and the nation. Carlson dismissed it all as an attack on <em>&#8220;white rage,&#8221;<\/em> Something that, for personal reasons, Carlson wasn&#8217;t going to stand for. Milley said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I do think it&#8217;s important for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read. The United States Military Academy is a university. And it is important that we train and we understand. And I want to understand white rage. And I&#8217;m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that cause thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the record, Gen. Milley served in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He holds advanced degrees from Princeton, Columbia, and the Naval War College. He earned the respect of his colleagues as he was promoted through the ranks over a 30 year career to his current role as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is a trust fund baby who never served, and the heir to a frozen TV dinner fortune, who was fired from three television networks (CNN, PBS, and MSNBC) due to low ratings, before landing on Fox News where his brand of racist hate-speech finally succeeded because <em>&#8220;he knows who to suck up to, and he&#8217;s more than happy to do it.&#8221;<\/em> Carlson&#8217;s rancid rant continued&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Notice he never defines white rage. And we should know what it is. What is white rage? Well, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordreference.com\/view\/10.1093\/oi\/authority.20110803095730308\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">drapetomania<\/a>, it\u2019s one of those diseases that only affect people with certain melanin levels. It\u2019s a race-specific illness. [&#8230;] So Mark Milley reads Mao to understand Maoism, he reads communists to understand communism. But, interestingly, he doesn\u2019t read white supremacists to understand white supremacy. Why not? Go to the source.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If Carlson really wants to know what white rage is, all he has to do is watch his program for a few minutes. In the comment above he literally exhorts his audience to read white supremacist literature. Carlson is using his show to actively recruit for his Ku Klux cause.<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that it took Milley&#8217;s defense of the Critical Race Theory (CRT) to trigger Carlson and Fox News to descend to the point where they are attacking the military. CRT is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/subject_specific_writing\/writing_in_literature\/literary_theory_and_schools_of_criticism\/critical_race_theory.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an academic study defined as<\/a><\/strong> an <em>\u201cattempt to understand how victims of systemic racism are affected by cultural perceptions of race.\u201d<\/em> But Carlson and Fox News aren&#8217;t about to permit that sort of understanding to be taught.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson wasn&#8217;t alone in his assault on Milley. Fox&#8217;s Laura Ingraham <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/laura-ingraham-defund-military-critical-race-theory\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">joined in<\/a><\/strong> to propose defunding the military because of its attempts <em>&#8220;to weed out so-called \u2018extremists,\u2019 which just means conservative evangelicals as far as I can tell,&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s funny how any time someone mentions extremists or racists or traitors, right-wingers like Ingraham immediately assume that they are the subject of the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Not willing to be left out (of anything, ever), Trump also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/trump-mark-milley\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">weighed in<\/a><\/strong>. During an interview on Newsmax Thursday evening, Trump, a five-time draft dodger, complained about Milley saying that <em>&#8220;I watched his statement, it was pathetic!&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s way saying <em>&#8220;Thanks for your service.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to imagine how Fox News can continue to provide a platform for the sort of rhetorical excrement that is the hallmark of Carlson&#8217;s program. Like Lou Dobbs before him, Carlson has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48476\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">driven away virtually all of his major advertisers<\/a><\/strong>, leaving just the MyPillow guy and a collection of reverse mortgage lenders and personal injury lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Dobbs, Carlson&#8217;s <em>Anti-American Hour of Hate<\/em> is still on the air. Which means that the Murdoch&#8217;s must be so enamored of Carlson that they don&#8217;t even care that they&#8217;re losing money. And that tells you all you need to know about Fox News.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
