For over a year, Fox News has run a sustained propaganda campaign against AOC. Their attacks just keep getting worse.
In fact, Tucker Carlson just aired a segment with the laziest critique of environmental activism we’ve ever seen. Fox News cameramen took pictures of garbage on the streets of the Bronx, and used that to claim AOC “didn’t care about the environment.”
But here’s where it gets insidious. Carlson brought a guest onto the show to claim that garbage was on the streets because of illegal immigrants, mirroring the racist dog whistles we encounter frequently on Fox.
This is not a new trend. Fox hosts like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham have echoed white supremacist talking points for years — occasionally sparking backlash, but never enough to stop them.
Right wing divide-and-conquer politics aren’t just wrong. They’re downright dangerous. These words reach the ears of Donald Trump and influence the policy decisions of this administration.
