Hey Tucker Carlson, Remember that Time your Website Posted Videos of Cars Running Over Protesters As A ‘Technique’?

Let’s not forget also that two weeks ago Tucker Carlson was laughing about George Soros being mailed a pipe bomb. Don’t you just love how conservatives cry victim – after they get called out for repeatedly victimizing?


A protest by antifascists outside the home of Tucker Carlson this week has generated outrage and scorn throughout media circles from conservative pundits to celebrities like Late Show host Stephen Colbert, but unlike the protest which was peaceful, just last year Carlson promoted a more violent and illegal tactic to counter protests.

An archive.org link to an old Daily Caller articleย titled “Hereโ€™s A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road” Was published in January 2017 by Mike Raust, who was listed as a Video Editor in his byline. Along with the video, which was a montage of cars doing as the title suggestedย set to a folksy cover of the 2001 Ludacris hit โ€œMove Bitch,” was a brief description that read, “Hereโ€™s a compilation of liberal protesters getting pushed out of the way by cars and trucks. Study the technique; it may prove useful in the next four years. None of these clips are new, but that doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re not still fresh.”

The article was also published by the Fox News website Fox Nation, curiously on Jan. 28, 2017, the day that thousands protestedย Donald Trumpโ€™s travel ban at international airports.ย  The articles remained on both sites for several months with very little outrage, but when Heather Heyer was killed when a car allegedly driven by one of the neo-Fascist attendees plowed into her and several other counter protesters of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA in August 2017,ย both Fox and the Daily Caller pulled the article immediately after attention was drawn to the article in the wake of that tragedy.

Carlson, who ironically two weeks ago laughed off a pipe bomb sent to right-wing boogeyman George Soros after Donald Trump and other right-wingers began blaming him for the protests against Brett Kavanaugh and then the migrant caravan, regularly touts positions on his television show that is held by neo-Fascists to the point that he has been accused of being a White nationalist. He has also hosted neo-Fascists like Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer and Stephen “Tommy Robinson” Yaxley-Lennon, the founder of the English Defence League, painting them as victims of either antifa or the legal system because of their activities which has included attacking and assaulting protesters opposing them and others.ย Yaxley-Lennon was arrested for breach of peace in May when he stood outside a courthouse live streaming andย reading out the names of defendants’ in a rape trial and the charges they were accused ofโ€”some incorrectโ€”as they arrived at the court, which was seen asย potentially prejudicing a criminal case.

Tucker Carlson poses with Roger Stone and members of the Proud Boys. Fun Fact: the Proud Boy on the left is Will Dominguez, who recently threatened the hardcore punk band Sheer Terror after they denounced the Proud Boys. The threat? They will buy their shirts and pretend to the media that the band is their inspiration!

Released on bail in August, Yaxley-Lennon is planning an international speaking tour pending the outcome of his case, and will be joined by Gavin McInnes, the founder of the neo-Fascist group Proud Boys, a who have come under fire after several of their members were arrested for their participation in a brawl outside a Republican Club event in Manhattan where McInnes spoke. Carlson famously posed in a picture with Presidential Advisor Roger Stone, who has used the Proud Boys as security at events and has been initiated into the group.

Police are investigating the protest outside Carlson’s home.

 


25 Years of Hate Having Consequences !

2025 is a milestone year and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters who have been in the trenches with us for the past 25 years. A lot of groups and people we have dealt with since we started are long gone: Richard Barrett, Matt Hale, the Minutemen and others! But we are still here fighting the good fight, contending with the new generation's version of hate politics. There are trying times ahead, but we believe our reality would be even worse if we did not come together to do this work. If you value the research and reporting that we have done at One Peopleโ€™s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.
