NBC’s Collins: White Nationalists ‘Know the Dog Whistles and What [Tucker Carlson’s] Trying to Say’

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “It says a little bit about ecofascism, how he calls himself an ecofascist in this manifesto. And that's the idea that -- that infrastructure is crumbling. Climate change is real, which are things you wouldn't hear from some people on the right, but you will hear that people like Tucker Carlson, at least the infrastructure crumbling part. But their idea is not to fix it, their idea is to divide things up by race lines and to you know, cut things out of -- basically to make it so immigrants do not get that stuff. You hear that like, for example, the baby formula shortage, blaming that stuff on immigrants. That is a pretty standard talking point right now on the right. A much more amplified version of that, the call to action version of that, is happening on extremist forums. But the talking points that underlie this stuff, is stuff that you would hear at Tucker Carlson every night, and they say that, by the way. Unfortunately, they call him our guy. You know, they said that Tucker Carlson is our guy. He's the guy speaking up for them. They know the dog whistles, and they know what he's trying to say.”
