State Senator James Sanders Jr. Calls on Tucker Carlson to Be Fired Following Comments on Kenosha Shootings

Senator James Sanders Jr. today called for Tucker Carlson to be fired after the Fox News Television host made ignorant and insensitive comments justifying the actions of a vigilante who allegedly shot two people during a Jacob Blake-related protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Carlson stated that the person, later identified as 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, was trying to “maintain order” when no one else would.
 
“There is no excuse for someone taking the law into his own hands,” Sanders said. “Carlson is excusing, rationalizing and justifying murder and his warped views, which include a history of making racist comments, should not be on television. He needs to go. He shouldn’t be broadcasting news to the American people.”
