The line crossed in @IngrahamAngle's case was going after kids, and she is (rightfully so) paying the price. Now has Tucker ever targeted kids by name? Not that I know of. However, he has been on an unrelenting campaign to dehumanize immigrants, many of whom are children. (/2)
Every night, Tucker Carlson convinces 2.6 million people not just to otherize those who look different, but also that they're the cause of most of their problems. This otherizing inevitably leads to dehumanizing, as seen in his reaction to Trump's infamous shithole remarks. (/3)
The shithole comments were bad enough for even the White House to shy away from, but Tucker Carlson doubles down on them. He encourages viewers to rethink whatever sympathy or respect they may have had for refugees and immigrants from said countries. (/4)
Here, Tucker engages in full-on ethno-nationalism. The fact that the small town was in an economic downturn when the influx of immigrants arrived doesn't matter, the very fact that they're immigrants is what's threatening "American culture." This is Alt-Right thinking 101. (/5)
The goal here is both fear and resentment. DACA recipients are referred to in the same breath as gang members while completely ignoring the fact that recipients have to serve in the military, work, or go to school all while having no criminal record to be eligible. (/6)
To Tucker, all racial grievances are imagined except for his own. The treatment of "hard working" white people is the only real issue. He mocks Black Lives Matter, accuses @JoyAnnReid of owing her career to race baiting and says those who cry racism can't handle the truth. (/7)
As if to remove any doubt, Tucker Carlson defended and promoted the Alt-Right alternative to Twitter on his show after it was banned by Google for violating its hate speech rules. (/8)

Ultimately, Tucker Carlson's show is one centered around stoking white fear, turning it into white resentment which inevitably turns into white anger. For all these reasons and more, his show is now a dream come true for hate groups looking to mold and recruit new members. (/9)
So my final question is this: if advertisers feel that @IngrahamAngle no longer represents their values, do they feel that Tucker Carlson still does? If so, why? Where do we collectively draw the line? (10/10)
