CNN’s Daniel Dale: Tucker Carlson ‘Either Has No Idea What He’s Talking About’ or Is Deceiving Viewers on White Supremacy
EXCERPT:
DALE: “I’m finding what should be obvious to anyone who saw what happened in El Paso. Tucker Carlson either has no idea what he’s talking about here or is actively deceiving his 3 million viewers a night. You don’t have to trust me on this. You don’t have to trust CNN on this. Listen to what FBI Director Christopher Wray said just a couple weeks ago to Congress.”
BOLDUAN: “I don’t —“
DALE: “Oh — sorry.”
BOLDUAN: “I don’t think we have that sound bite.”

WRAY: “Through the third quarter of this fiscal year, had about, give or take, a hundred arrests in the international terrorism side ... but we’ve also had just about the same number — again, don’t quote me to the exact digit — on the domestic terrorism side. ... A majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we’ve investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence.”

DALE: “So Kate, the FBI certainly isn’t playing down the threat of jihadist terrorism, but it’s also making clear over and over again that white supremacists or white nationalist terrorism is a serious and growing threat.”
