‘Disgusting’: CNBC’s John Harwood Condemns Tucker Carlson For Smear of Democrats

Tucker Carlson opened his Fox News show Thursday night as he often does: by accusing Democrats of caring more about foreigners than Americans.

After declaring that “to the modern Democratic Party, Americans are an after-thought,” Carlson claimed that “immigration is really the only issue that matters to them because packing the electorate is the only way to regain control of this country.”

“Their goal is clear: They will do anything to achieve it,” he said.

Those loony claims apparently caught the eye of CNN’s Brian Stelter, who quoted Carlson and tweeted: “Can you imagine talking this way? Such extreme rhetoric all the time?”

John Harwood, CNBC’s Chief Washington Correspondent, put it more more concisely, calling the statement “disgusting”.
