1. @tuckercarlson's embrace of replacement theory — the racist conspiracy that motivated the Buffalo shooter — is well documented But the theory that the left is seeking to "replace" whites has been adopted broadly on the right This 🧵 names names https://t.co/eKFuVMpsbU — PolitiTweet.org

5. Greenwald says there is "no racial hierarchy" in Carlson's view of immigration. Carlson says the elimination of a racial hierarchy in our immigration system was the worst attack on the country in 160 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. The Immigration Act of 1965 is what opened up immigration to non-white people from South America, Africa, and Asia. Carlson says this was the worst attack on Democracy in 160 years. Carlson's issue is not, as Greenwald claims, immigration. It's non-white immigration. — PolitiTweet.org

3. What was the "Immigration Act of 1965"? It repealed the racially discriminatory National Origin Formula, that ensured almost all immigrants were white people from Northern and Western Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

@TuckerCarlson @ggreenwald 2. It goes well beyond promoting the racist great replacement theory. In April 2021, Carlson said that the "worst attack on our democracy in 160 years" was the "Immigration Act of 1965." Carlson said the law "completely changed the composition of America's voter rolls" — PolitiTweet.org

1. In a lengthy defense of @TuckerCarlson, @ggreenwald says "there is no racial hierarchy in Carlson's view of American citizenship and to claim that there is is nothing short of a defamatory lie." Here is exactly why this is wrong. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

A self-described white supremecist traveled to a black neighborhood and murdered 10 people today, leaving behind a manifesto on the Great Replacement theory — a racist conspiracy theory endorsed repeatedly by Tucker Carlson, the nation’s most-watched political pundit — PolitiTweet.org

I suppose the theory here is that most folks don't have time to review 5K pages and so some will assume you are telling the truth even though you are lying? The good news is you don't have to read 5K pages to find out. Just read this: https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@GovRonDeSantis UPDATE: A member of the Florida Department of Education continues to tweet a link to a webpage that contains ~5K pages of reviews. All found NO EVIDENCE OF CRT in elementary school math textbooks, despite DeSantis' claims to the contrary. https://t.co/ICReDndzcS — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Instead of providing evidence, my reporting has been attacked publicly by the Florida Department of Education and @GovRonDeSantis' Press Secretary. I stand by my reporting which is all verifiable via primary source documents https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

FUN FACT: @ChristinaPushaw continues to spend time trolling me on Twitter, but still has not provided any evidence to substantiate @RonDeSantisFL's claims that elementary school math textbooks contained "race essentialism." https://t.co/vuKDXn4qOY — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The right-wing (Guy is a Fox News host) continues to defend DeSantis’ claims about ELEMENTARY SCHOOL textbooks with passages from HIGH SCHOOL textbooks. These examples aren’t CRT but they also are irrelevant to DeSantis’ specific claim Where is the evidence? — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@guypbenson I urge you to read the actual article. We can argue about whether these examples from high school textbooks are CRT. But DeSantis made specific claims about elementary school textbooks. The evidence shows he was lying. 16 reviewers found no CRT — PolitiTweet.org

@GovRonDeSantis @ChristinaPushaw IN SUM: It is a DOCUMENTED FACT that every single review of rejected math textbooks for Florida elementary school students explicitly found NO CRT The Florida Department of Education and Ron DeSantis appear very upset that I'm making this fact known https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

And here is @GovRonDeSantis' press secretary, @ChristinaPushaw, amplifying claims that I'm "spreading misinformation" about rejected elementary school math textbooks (Ratio on that tweet not getting any better) https://t.co/sVpYHgDQaH — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Here is a member of the Florida Department of Education, which has failed to provide any evidence to back up DeSantis, falsely claiming that the evidence is posted on their website. (It is not.) https://t.co/nWGjqeC3mI — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The latest email from the Florida Department of Education contains "examples" posted to their website weeks ago. These examples: 1. Are not CRT 2. DO NOT COME FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MATH TEXTBOOKS DeSantis made specific claims about textbooks for Florida elementary students https://t.co/Be9Lyw1v6Z — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

GOOD NEWS: I finally heard back from the Florida Department of Education BAD NEWS: They still did not provide any evidence of CRT or "race essentialism" in rejected elementary math textbooks. Instead, more obfuscation. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The Florida Department of Education’s strategy is to continue to make claims without evidence and attack me on Twitter It doesn’t seem to be paying immediate dividends https://t.co/ccIAor4eCx — PolitiTweet.org
