Tucker Carlson opened his show on Wednesday night with some breaking news: “The left is now on the record opposing racism.”

This stunning revelation came to Tucker in light of the backlash Roseanne Barr faced after she issued a racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, and saw her hit ABC sitcom cancelled.

“The left is now on the record opposing racism,” Carlson said. “Attacking people on the basis of their race is immoral, they are telling us, and of course they are absolutely right about that. Let’s hope this conversation continues and progresses. Liberals may finally concede that discrimination based on skin color really is wrong, whether it’s in hiring or promotions or government contracting or school admissions.”

“It’s hypocrisy land, it’s where liberals live,” Carlson continued. “Last night, for example, MSNBC held a town hall meeting dedicated to fighting racism. Guess who they invited to lecture America on the topic? You guessed it, racists.”

Carlson explained that the town hall was hosted by Al Sharpton, the MSNBC host who in the 1990s was accused of inciting violence against whites as a civil rights activist.

Tucker went on to claim that Tim Wise, an anti-racism activist at the event, was an “obvious racist.” Carlson used as his evidence Wise’s claim that people are raised to believe that “black lives matter less than white comfort.”

Carlson’s indignation didn’t end there: he also blasted Wise for his generalizations, namely the activist’s claim that the “gentrifiers” of today — i.e. white people — are now returning to black urban communities they once fled.

“They are telling you on MSNBC that because certain people have the same skin color they all have the same dumb attitudes,” Carlson said. “They are all, everyone of them, immoral. You can tell by the way they look.”

The Fox News host concluded with a vast and imbecilic generalization of his own:

“That’s the official position of the American left, the same people currently accusing you of racism.”
