Fox ‘Straight News’ Anchor Echoes Tucker’s ‘Poorer and Dirtier’ Line About Migrants
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner seemingly embraced her colleague Tucker Carlson’s widely condemned claim that immigrants make America “poorer and dirtier,” telling Fox viewers on Tuesday that migrants at the southern border “make our country look like what they left” and “our people” are now forced to clean up their “excrement.”
Carlson, before overtly endorsing the white supremacist “Great Replacement” theory, sparked intense backlash and prompted advertisers to flee his primetime program in late 2018 over his bigoted comments.
“Our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this,” the Fox News star exclaimed at the time. “We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
