Tucker Carlson says "we will never bow to the crowd" in the middle of comments resurfaced

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday rejected what he called a scandal culture of Democrats and Republicans because of the fallout from his recent offensive remarks about women and minorities.

Carlson presented an opening monologue of about seven minutes on "Tucker Carlson Tonight", interspersed with graphics bearing the words "The Mob", "Crackdown on Dissent" and "Hypocrisy of the Liberals". Although he did not refer to any of his specific controversial comments, he doubled his initial refusal to apologize for them.

"Fox News is behind us, as they have been since the very first day," said Carlson. "Tenacity is a rare quality in a television network, and we are grateful for that."

"We always apologized when we were wrong and we will continue to do so," he added. "That's what honest people do, they apologize, but we will never bow to the crowd, never, anyway."

Carlson made a series of indirect references to the backlash generated by his comments after the first batch was resurfaced Sunday by Media Matters, left party. The Fox News host described the cycle of the "great American scandal machine", in which he stated that one of the journalists was interviewed by reporters, obliged to apologize and making still subject to criticism.

"But if we stopped pretending for a minute?" Carlson asked. "What if we recognize what is really happening?"

Carlson described Democrats as "extremely deadly" in their efforts to "crush" those who oppose their ideology.

"Why the people who envisioned Bill ClintonWilliam (Bill) Jefferson ClintonJerome Corsi Brings Defamation Action Against Alex Jones, Infowars House, Imprisoned the Bad Track of the 2020 Prose Procedure Dems Supports Legal Marijuana in In-Depth Political Change MORE a hero telling me about sexism? "asked Carlson. How can the party claiming racial quotas denounce the racism of other peoples? After a while, you begin to think that their critics may not be sincere. "

"What's interesting is the reliability with which the other side claims that none of these things happen," said Carlson, referring to Republicans.

"Republicans in Washington mimic enough an opposition party," he added. "But at the deepest level, everything is a pose."

"The crowd is asking for an answer, and very often the first to call for destruction are Republican leaders, whom you saw with the children of Covington Catholic High School, you see it all the time.

"

Media Matters released Sunday's audio with numerous Carlson appearances in a popular radio show "shock jock" hosted by Todd Clem. In the clips, Carlson makes a number of derogatory comments about women. He also makes many observations about the problems related to sexual abuse.

Media Matters has published other comments redone again when Carlson aired a show in which the Fox News host had been making inflammatory remarks years ago, claiming that "Iraq is a rotten place filled with semi-literate primitive monkeys, which is why it's not worth invading. "

In remarks Monday night, Carlson denounced the "moans" of black politicians who "use racism to defend themselves".

"The Black Congressional Caucus exists to blame the White for everything, and I'm happy to say it in public because it's true," Carlson said in August 2008, according to Media Matters.

Carlson has sparked controversy in the past with his comments on immigration and other topics. He used the latest controversy to rotate his show, encouraging "anyone disagree with my point of view" to participate in the show "and explain why".

"You really can not do much to answer," he said Monday during the show. "It's useless to try to explain how words were joked or taken out of context or, in any case, look nothing like what you actually think or want for the country." All of this is important Nobody cares about it You know the role you have to play: you're a sinner, imploring Twitter's forgiveness. "
