U.S. Supreme Court Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Friday that there was a danger of a racial conflict in America emerging following what he observed from a hearing the previous day into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. According to Carlson, the reaction to Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by three women, demonstrated “the left’s war on old white men.” Carlson ran a whole segment on his show devoted to race, with one of the chyrons on-screen reading: “Left makes Kavanaugh hearing about race.” He also called out cable news networks CNN and MSNBC for what he claimed was the media’s “race obsession.” Carlson began by playing a selection of comments from guests on cable news shows referencing the fact that all 11 of the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are white men. At Thursday’s hearing, the Republicans sidestepped the chance to … [Read more...] about Fox News Host Suggests Race War in America Could Be Coming After Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

JENNIFER SILVERBERG Kevin Jackson Kevin Jackson, the bombastic right-wing radio host who until recently lived in St. Louis, lost his Fox News gig yesterday after tweeting that women who'd accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh were "lying skanks." Jackson, the subject of a 2010 RFT cover story and, in 2016, occasional guest on KETC's Donnybrook, lived in Fox Park from 2002 to 2017.
