Tucker Carlson Declares “Karen” To Be An “Ethnic Slur”

The Daily Beast reports:

Tucker Carlson on Monday inserted himself in the latest right-wing online controversy after the National Republican Congressional Committee’s official Twitter account called a far-right pundit a “Karen,” causing the Fox News host to complain that the term was an “ethnic slur.”

The NRCC’s tweet sparked an immediate backlash among conservatives, including Carlson. The Fox host, who has recently come under fire over the racist content of his show, repeated a previous complaint he’s made on-air about the meme.

Anyone know why the NRCC is using ethnic slurs? https://t.co/he7Au7yZ0e

Glad you’re using your platform to fight this atrocity. Better wasting your time doing this than sexually assaulting women, I guess ?‍♂️
