Fox News host Tucker Carlson continued his attack against Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley for saying he wanted to learn about critical race theory, calling the Army general’s “white rage” remarks “disgusting” and “disgraceful.” He also suggested that the top general should read about “white supremacy” literature to really understand it.
After playing Milley’s comments on white rage, Carlson accused the top military leader of levying “an attack against people on the basis of their skin color.”
“’White rage’ is a racial attack,” he added. “So here, you have the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a congressional hearing leveling a race attack against American citizens, the guy who’s supposed to be protecting our country.”
The Fox personality went on to say that Milliey should read about “white supremacy” instead.
Carlson had previously sparked pushback over his initial criticism of Milley’s remarks in a Thursday segment, in which he called the Joint Chiefs chairman “stupid” and “a pig,” adding that Milley got his job because “he knows who to suck up to.”
CNN’s Brianna Keilar fired back at Carlson, declaring that the Fox host “is white rage.”
“What does he mean?” she questioned. “Milley is not immune from criticism but look at the stripes on his sleeve. Ten of them, we counted. Each one of those overseas service bars is six months deployed. That is five years. That is more time than Tucker Carlson spent at his probably third-choice boarding school.”
“Tucker Carlson didn’t serve,” she added. “His biggest achievement is having nine lives in the world of cable news. Making a bowtie famous, and getting away with promoting conspiracy theories, night after night after night.”
