Rally Calls Out Fox News From Their Doorstep On Their Racism

“How many more have to die before you cancel Tucker?”

NEW YORK, NY – A weekly demonstration held outside the News Corp. headquarters building to protest Fox News focused today on demanding that host/commentator Tucker Carlson be taken off the air in the wake of the mass shooting in Buffalo, NY on Saturday, allegedly by a White supremacist that was inspired by Great Replacement Theory which is often promoted by Carlson.

Approximately thirty persons stood on Fox Plaza which is just outside the building that houses Fox News with banners denouncing White supremacy and signs that targeted not just Carlson but also Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, two hosts that follow Carlson in the evening that have been accused of also promoting racist positions. Others held placards each with the names and pictures of those that were killed in Buffalo.

The protest was organized by Truth Tuesdays, a working group within the direct-action group Rise and Resist, a pro-democracy group founded in the wake of the 2016 election that saw Donald Trump win his bid for the Presidency. Truth Tuesdays has been holding regular demonstrations since August 2021.

Fox News is no stranger to protests due to their racist stances. In 2008, rapper Nas stood outside to protest racist smears by the network, noting how he was the subject of such smears from then-commentator Bill O’Reilly for singling him out as a “a rapper who trades in violence” when he was to perform on behalf of the victims of the Virginia Tech mass shooting in 2007. Still, the concerns about the racist campaigns from Fox only became worse over time, particularly during the Trump Administration. On May 1, the morning show Fox and Friends proved itself to be the latest example when co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy declared that the Democratic Party is comprised of “minorities who see themselves as victims” and “self-loathing Whites.” Earlier her co-host Will Cain had said the party was comprised of primarily White, college-educated women who had been fueling contempt against conservative ideals.

The Truth Tuesdays rallies start at noon every Tuesday and last for approximately an hour.

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 People’s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.
