Fox's Tucker Carlson Calls White Supremacy Problem a Hoax


CNN's Daniel Dale fact checks Fox News host Tucker Carlson's claim that America's white supremacy problem "is a hoax." This claim came after several days of scrutiny of the El Paso suspect's racist views and the forces that may have radicalized him. News outlets have pointed out that some of the anti-immigrant "invasion" language in the manifesto published online shortly before the attack mirrors what is frequently heard on far-right-wing talk shows and websites. And many prominent politicians have warned about the growing threat of white nationalist violence.
