Fox News host Tucker Carlson upgraded his dogwhistle to a full on air horn during his Wednesday night broadcast when he went on a racist rant comparing the speech of a Black Tennessee lawmaker who was expelled from the statehouse for protesting gun violence to that of a "sharecropper."
Democratic state Congressman Justin Pearson was one of two Black lawmakers expelled from the state legislature by the Republican supermajority for their participation in a protest inside the House chambers supporting gun control measures after a school shooting in the state left six people — including three nine-year-old children — dead.
