Dear fellow MoveOn member,
Only three days after the a white supremacist mass shooter in El Paso killed 22 people, Tucker Carlson went primetime on Fox News and declared that white supremacy is "not a real problem." He called it a "hoax" before the victims even had time to be buried.
This is a blatant lie from Tucker Carlson. The only reason he is lying is because he has propagated similarly anti-immigrant, xenophobic, and blatantly racist ideas that are bent on fear-mongering. Tucker wants to think that white supremacy is a hoax, because he does not want to accept that he is complicit in giving voice to these ideas. He does not want to see how his words could have influenced a white supremacist mass shooter.
Advertisers, including Procter & Gamble, Expedia, Applebee's, Trivago, Allstate, and many others, need to stop supporting Fox News' lies before it's too late. We cannot have another white supremacist open fire on a public place targeting immigrants and people of color.
Sign this petition demanding that advertisers drop Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
Tucker needs to be taken off the air, and his advertisers need to stop funding hate, especially now that he is purposefully misinforming Fox News viewers about the rise of white supremacy.
Fox News and Tucker have served as megaphones for Trump's white supremacist and xenophobic ideas. Advertisers have the opportunity to hold them accountable and stop serving as sponsors for this lying and hate speech.
Thanks for all you do.
