Tucker Carlson panned the Emmy Awards Monday night and singled out one actress in particular for criticism over comments she made he deemed “divisive.”

“Even by the usual standards of show business,” he said, “last night’s show was a remarkable triumph of identity politics over art and entertainment.”

He invoked Issa Rae, creator and star of HBO’s Insecure, for telling a reporter, “I’m rooting for everybody black.”
