CARLSON: "Multiculturalism isn’t real. This is really destroying one culture and replacing it with a new, a foreign culture."
(...)
DEL CUETO: "This is not migrants coming into the country. This is nothing short of an invasion."

KAY: "An invasion. 'The New York Times' is taking a deep dive into the conservative media world and found that the confessed shooter echoed many of the words of its most prominent stars. 'The Times' found striking overlap when comparing his 2,300-word diatribe to transcripts from several shows on the right. For example, the confessed El Paso shooter complained about the Hispanic invasion of Texas. That echoes the language of Fox News' hosts Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Jeanine Pirro’s show saying, 'You can shoot invaders.' According to 'The Times,' references to immigrant invasion appeared on more than 300 different Fox News broadcasts.”
