LOWERY: "I mean, look, let's be clear, the stuff Tucker and Laura Ingraham say every night, it could be written by white supremacist very often. There's a section of this manifesto where the shooter starts talking about, 'People will always say diversity is strength. How is it a strength?' I could hear it in Tucker's voice. He says this all the time, right? But the Ben Shapiros of the world say this. There's a big chunk about — about the idea of genetic differences that could have been pulled from an Andrew Sullivan column. There are plenty of people in our politics, in our media, who advance these ideas and advance them frequently. But beyond that, though, I do think the point you're making here is right, we cannot simplify this specifically just to a specific network, even just specific online spaces. We have to have a conversation about our political rhetoric in our country, right?”
