19:23Now PlayingIn Tucker Carlson’s first monologue since the white supremacist mass shooting in Buffalo, Tucker tried his best to cover his tracks by claiming that the shooter’s manifesto is “not really political at all” and that the crime was the result of a “diseased and disorganized mind”. Guess Tucker didn’t look into the manifesto’s constant references to white replacement theory, white supremacist talking points, antiimmigration talking points, cultural replacement talking points, and that the attack’s primary motivation was to “agitate [shooter’s] political enemies” to incite further violence and distract from the backlash of his political allies. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Tucker Carlson dedicated Monday’s monologue to liberals’ reaction to the mass shooting in Buffalo over the weekend.
On Saturday, police say an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed 10 people at grocery in Buffalo. All the victims were Black and authorities say the shooter targeted the store because it was located in a predominantly Black neighborhood. A racist online screed attributed to the shooter mentions the “great replacement,” which is a conspiracy that White people in America are being “replaced” by non-Whites – particularly through immigration – in order to dilute Whites’ political power.
Carlson has espoused the theory on his show multiple times. It is unclear if the suspect in the shooting watched his show.
“The document is not recognizably left-wing or right-wing,” said the Fox News host, who noted the suspect has spent time in a mental institution after threatening to kill classmates. “It’s not really political at all. The document is crazy. It’s the product of a diseased and [dis]organized mind.”"
