On Thursday night, Tucker Carlson went after CNN for pushing what he believes is a false narrative behind President Trump’s remarks about the NFL anthem protestors.

The Fox News host insisted that CNN “can’t resist” a ratings bonanza, even if it means “whipping people into fear and rage.”

He then played a montage including Don Lemon comparing Colin Kaepernick to Rosa Parks, CNN guest Spike Lee who believed Trump was referring to NFL owners as “plantation owners,” and Chris Cuomosaying Trump’s remarks was like telling NFL owners to “control your dog.”

“Dogs? Who said anything about dogs?” Carlson asked. “Nobody did, but it doesn’t matter. The image is horrifying and that’s the point. You can’t turn away from that. Now do you hate and fear your neighbor a little more after the end of that segment? Of course you do. Imagine if millions of people watching that kind of thing all day long. What would happen to the country? We’re finding out now.”
