Could Tucker Carlson Be The Next One To Face A Boycott?

Fox host Tucker Carlson is a white extremist.
A talking point that was spread by white extremists, Fox News and Donald J. Trump was debunked by the South African government. Matter of fact, it angered many South African lawmakers.

This was started by Alex Jones, then carried on Fox News and then the infamous Donald J. Trump tweet that set off a series of global outrage. Oh, it won praise of David Duke, the former Klan man who is a leading voice of the white extremist movement known as the alt-right.




This is the first time Trump ever mention Africa in a sentence. 

Carlson led the night with a cry to the nation about South Africa. In his monologue, Carlson said that White farmers are having their land seized by the government.


The portions of commentary were obtained by Media Matters for America.
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We've got an exclusive investigation for you tonight. The president of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa has begun and you may have seen this in the press seizing land from his own citizens without compensation because they are the wrong skin color. 
That is literally the definition of racism.  Racism is what our elite say they dislike most. "Donald Trump is a racist" they say but they paid no attention to this at all. In fact Ramaphosa is one of Barack Obama's favorite leaders in the world. In a speech just a few weeks ago, Obama praised him, he praised the racist government of South Africa and Ramaphosa by name for quote, "inspiring hope throughout the country." Does our current bureaucratic elite agree with that? Apparently they do. 
[...]
So that's a tragedy, you just heard that. Keep in mind our State Department right now supports race based land seizures. We hope that policy changes.
Now the South African government fired back at Trump and Fox News.

South African Foreign Affairs Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Thursday that it was regrettable that Trump's tweet on land issues in her country was "based on false information." Trump's tweet is reportedly also the first time in his presidency in which he tweeted the word "Africa."
White Extremists are trying to sow discourse in South Africa.

Sisulu said she had instructed officials in her department to meet with the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to seek clarification on the matter, and added that she would communicate with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo through diplomatic channels.

Trump's comments have inflamed an already high-octane debate over land in South Africa, a country that remains deeply racially divided and unequal nearly a quarter of a century after Nelson Mandela swept to power at the end of apartheid.

The rand currency dropped more than 1.5 percent against the U.S. dollar in early trade on Thursday after Trump's tweet had circulated in South Africa.

"I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and large scale killing of farmers," Trump said on Twitter.

South Africa's foreign ministry will seek clarification of Trump's comments from the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokeswoman said, adding that Trump was "misinformed".

"South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past," a tweet from South Africa's official government account said in response to Trump's comments.
White extremist David Duke applaud Trump's response to South Africa.
South Africa's communications minister said Trump's tweet would not affect relations between South Africa and the United States.

"The tweet has not determined our approach to the United States on our current relationship and future relationship," Nomvula Mokonyane said after a cabinet meeting.

The U.S. State Department was not immediately available for comment on Trump's tweet.

David Duke was available.







Ramaphosa announced on Aug. 1 that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) plans to change the constitution to allow the expropriation of land without compensation, as whites still own most of South Africa's land.

Ramaphosa has said any land reform will be conducted without an impact on economic growth or food security. No land has been "seized" since the reform plans were announced, the ANC says.
