Cenk Uygur Says Tucker Carlson Is ‘Threatening Us’: ‘Shut Up’ About Racism or Racists Will ‘Murder You More’

‘So when Dylann Roof goes into a church in Charleston and murders all those people, and he says I did it because of my white identity, we didn’t tell him to do that, he did that’

EXCERPT:

UYGUR: "I don't want to get into his motivations, but when he says, 'Look, do you have to attack white people?' in reference to the guest’s talking about white nationalists who have been committing violence throughout the country, remember, the violence is an actual attack. So when Dylann Roof goes into a church in Charleston and murders all those people, and he says, 'I did it because of my white identity,' we didn’t tell him to do that, he did that. He's a right-winger who said, 'I hate black people, so I'm going to go and murder them.' Tucker says that isn’t the problem. The problem is when we say, ‘Hey, can you stop murdering black people?' Then, 'Oh, why did you bring up that he’s a white nationalist? You’re making it about race.' No, he made it about race when he murdered black people and wrote down, 'I am murdering black people because they are black.' You see, that would be identity politics. And then, he turns around and says, ‘Oh, 'The View' saying that if you’re really poor, we hate you because of your skin color.' Pretty confident they didn’t say that, okay? And then he says that radicalizes people. In other words, if you keep pointing out the different racial incidents that happen in this country, well, then that’s going to radicalize us, and force us to murder you. So if you don’t stop pointing out that we’ve had a lot of right-wing domestic terror attacks, and some of those folks have literally said they’re doing it because of their white identity and how they hate minorities, or Jews in the synagogue attacks, if we don’t stop pointing that out, Tucker Carlson’s threatening us. Then we’re going to get more radicalized. You’re going to have more Dylan Roofs. So you better shut up about what we’re doing, otherwise we’ll murder you more. Okay, well, I appreciate the warning, Tucker. We all appreciate it.”
