On Wednesday’s episode of his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson discussed a conspiracy theory that has recently been embraced by extreme right wingers: That somehow, refugees from places like Afghanistan are part of scheme by Democrats to cheat in elections.
Now to be clear, Tucker was very careful to phrase his discussion of this as though he were merely asking questions. But the main gist was that people should be very concerned about where refugees from Afghanistan will be sent when they arrive here.
After setting up this line of discussion during his opening, Tucker showed a clip from CNN in which Chris Cuomo and Fareed Zakaria were discussing opposition to allowing refugees into the United States.
