Sucker Tucker Blames Lil Nas X And Seth Rogen For The Unrest!

Tucker Carlson goes after celebrities. He's mad they're showing solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

The controversial cable news channel once again faces a strong backlash from activists.

Tucker Carlson did a monologue about celebrities donating to Black Lives Matter and paying for the bail of protesters. In some of his monologue he decided to insert the old adage about "celebrities and politics."

Carlson read a list of celebrity names, as footage of violent protesting, fires and looting ran behind him. The combination suggested that celebrities were "funding this chaos" by donating to Black Lives Matter and other groups that pay to get "violent rioters out of jail."

Lil Nas X hits back at Fox News for the bogus claim he's inciting unrest.

"Big companies — cynical, soulless, craven corporations like Pepsi, Intel and AirBnB — are funding this chaos. They're giving money to Black Lives Matter which is pushing to defund the police. But it isn't just major corporations that are fueling all of this. Celebrities are, too, by paying to get violent rioters out of jail," Carlson said.

"Rapper Lil Nas X urged his 4.7 million Twitter followers to donate to bail groups in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere," Carlson said. "Imagine if he had used those followers instead to help small businesses destroyed by the riots he helped incite."

Lil Nas X responded in kind.

Seth Rogen responded.

I think when white supremacists are bothered by your actions, that’s probably a good thing.

Many other celebrities called out Fox News for promoting white nationalism. Remember a few years back, Laura Ingraham was getting riled up over LeBron James and Kevin Durant speaking out against injustices and Donald J. Trump.

Well on a few nights ago, Ingraham came to the defense of Drew Brees.

Brees had stirred controversy after he stated that he was against football players kneeling to the American flag and national anthem. He was roundly condemned by his team the New Orleans Saints.

He and his wife would later apologize. But after Ingraham went to defense of Brees, many questioned her motives.

Ingraham once told  James to "Shut up and dribble" instead of addressing political issues.

Now, she says Brees is "allowed to have his view" on kneeling and the flag because "This is beyond football."

If you still haven’t figured out why the protesting is going on. Why we’re acting as we are is because we are simply F-N tired of this treatment right here! Can we break it down for you any simpler than this right here???? 🤦🏾‍♂️. And to my people don’t worry I won’t stop until I see https://t.co/e4pJ0PvwJj

James responded to Fox News criticism of him and celebrities.

LeBron James has been very critical of Donald Trump. Fox News has told him to "shut up and dribble."

"If you still haven't figured out why the protesting is going on [in America]. Why we're acting as we are is because we are simply fucking tired of this treatment right here! Can we break it down for you any simpler than this right here?. And to my people don't worry I won't stop until I see."

Media Matters for America has been relentless in his criticism of Fox News. They launched an advertiser boycott against Fox News' primetime hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

With COVID-19 and unrest in the country, Fox News is doing its best to defend Trump's actions despite the overwhelming public being against him.
