‘Woke’ M&Ms Marketing Paused After Tucker Carlson Slams Candy Campaign (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

M&Ms’ candy mascots have been put on pause after the revamped characters drew attacks from conservatives like Tucker Carlson, who publicly slammed the candy campaign for being “woke.”

M&Ms launched limited edition packaging that featured slogans like “Supporting Women” and images of the brown, green and newly added purple female spokescandies taking feminist stances. A portion of sales profits went to feminist charities.

The green candy — “Miss Green” — used to be presented as a sexy and feminine, but the new rebranding of her image to make her more “inclusive” involved toning down her eyelashes, removing references to her gender and putting her in tennis shoes.

Fox News personality Carlson attacked the alleged sexuality and weight of the candy mascots in a segment dedicated to slamming the brand’s new image. “The woke M&M’s are back,” Carlson said in early January. “The green M&M is now a lesbian maybe,” he said, adding that “there is also a plus-sized, obese purple M&M.”

He previously mocked the new marketing campaign in Jan. 2022. At the time, Mars Wrigley, the company behind M&Ms, explained that the changes were designed to demonstrate their “Global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive.”

Tucker Carlson: Deep State Forced Nixon’s Resignation Because He Knew CIA Killed JFK; Bob Woodward Is a Fed

/13 Comments/in , , /by

By Mediaite. Tucker Carlson claimed former President Richard Nixon was forced out of the White House as part of an elaborate deep state plot that included Bob Woodward. . .

Carlson noted Nixon resigned as president in 1974 and was replaced by his vice president Gerald Ford. The host said Nixon was reelected in 1972 by a historic margin but was “forced to resign” only to be replaced by an “obedient servant” in Ford:

“On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with then-CIA director Richard Helms at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tape-recorded, Nixon suggested he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy’s assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’ telling his response? Total silence.”

. . .The host said the Washington Post had already begun its “dishonest” reporting about the break-in at the Watergate Hotel. He said the burglary was perpetrated by CIA agents. Carlson then went in on Woodward, who reported those stories:

“Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a journalist. Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business. Instead, Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government. Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon. . . Soon after leaving the Navy for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest news story in the country. And just to make it crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward’s main source for the Watergate series was Deputy Director of the FBI Mark Felt.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson: Deep State Forced Nixon’s Resignation Because He Knew CIA Killed JFK; Bob Woodward Is a Fed” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Suggests Bob Woodward Was a CIA Asset Sent to Oust President Nixon: ‘He Wasn’t a Journalist’

By The Wrap. Days after unequivocally claiming the CIA was behind the John F. Kennedy assassination, Tucker Carlson fingered the U.S. spy agency for ousting then-President Richard Nixon in 1974 by dispatching one of its most powerful assets: Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward. . .

Carlson had already suggested last week that Woodward was working with the government to get Nixon out – and get “obedient servant” Gerald Ford – Nixon’s then-Vice President – into the White House. . .

“Soon after leaving the Navy for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest news story in the country,” Carlson added. “And just to make it crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward’s main source for the Watergate series was Deputy Director of the FBI Mark Felt [believed to be the source known as ‘Deep Throat’].”

Carlson used that framing to suggesting that a similar bureaucratic coup is happening to President Joe Biden, who suddenly finds himself harangued by revelations that he had been improperly housing classified documents at his private residence, a now-familiar storyline.

Tucker Carlson Says Brazilian Election Rigged, Compares Protests There to Jan. 6 (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson … claimed Brazil’s presidential election was rigged and said rioters who stormed government buildings in the capital city have reason to be angry.

Scores of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in Brasilia on Sunday. Many say he – and not President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (or, Lula) – won. About 1,500 arrests have been made in connection with the riots. . .

On Monday, Carlson, who conducted a softball interview with Bolsonaro in June, told his audience unequivocally that Brazil’s election was “very clearly” stolen.

“Consider what is happening tonight in Brazil,” he said. “Thanks to what was very clearly a rigged election, a convicted criminal – Lula da Silva – is now the president of the most important country in South America. Millions of people in Brazil understand exactly what happened. They know that their democracy has been hijacked, possibly forever.” . . .

“What’s happened in Brazil is likened to Jan. 6,” he continued. “And of course, populist leaders in this country are being blamed for it. ‘Oh, it was Trump and Steve Bannon who did it.’ That’s not true, but even if it were true, it would be just the tail-end of the story. It’d be the result of something that happened before. The obvious question is why are protestors in Brazil so angry?” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says Brazilian Election Rigged, Compares Protests There to Jan. 6” HERE)

White House Pressed Facebook To Censor Tucker Carlson, Document Reveals

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The White House pressed Facebook to censor Fox News host Tucker Carlson for saying “vaccines” “don’t work,” according to a document released by Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana.

“Since we’ve been on the phone – the top post about vaccines today is [T]ucker Carlson saying they don’t work. Yesterday it was Tomi Lehren [sic] saying she won’t take one,” White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty reportedly said in an April 14, 2021 email to an unidentified Facebook employee, which was posted on Twitter by Landry.

Landry along with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued the Biden administration in federal court on May 5, claiming that members of the administration colluded with social media companies to suppress debate on the 2020 presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues. The court ordered the Biden administration to turn over communications between officials and the tech companies in July.

Rumble CEO Says Something ‘Really Nefarious’ Was Going On With YouTube Censoring Conservatives Around Election

By Fox News. Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski is taking on Big Tech censorship with his rapidly expanding video platform which has emerged as a popular alternative to YouTube since going public last Fall.

In the latest episode of “Tucker Carlson Today,” Pavlovski sat down with the Fox News host to discuss his commitment to protecting free speech and why he believes that mission has driven his company toward success as creators continue to upload their content to the fast-growing platform.

In a preview of the interview that aired on Fox News Channel Thursday, Pavlovski, a Canadian who described himself as not particularly political, recalled getting a phone call from then-ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes, who inquired about the features of little-known website. After learning about the details of Rumble, Nunes decided to upload his video podcast to the platform.

“Next thing you know, within a couple of months, he gets a couple of hundred thousand subscribers on his Rumble channel. Meanwhile, on YouTube and he’s been on there for four years…he only has 10,000,” Pavlovski said. . .

“You can call it whatever you want. Censorship, shadow-banning…the fact that an elected official could get significantly more subscribers on a platform that no one’s ever heard of in two months, and he can’t get more than 12,000 in four years on YouTube, that’s a problem,” the Rumble CEO observed.

Jeff Younger, who has been in a lengthycustodybattlewith his ex-wife, pediatrician Dr. Anne Georgulas, shared a video of his son, James, stating that he identifies as a girl. . .

Younger then asked James, “Who told you you’re a girl?”

James responded by stating that his mom told him he was a girl. He also added that his mother puts dresses on him.

According to Younger, his ex-wife has convinced his young son that he is transgender and that his name is now “Luna.” He stated that she attempted to start “transitioning” James when he was only 2 years old.

Tucker Blasts Reparations Plan That Would Require ‘Nazi Race Science’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted a California plan to explore both reparations for slavery and a process by which to determine who qualified to receive them, arguing that the only way to really know who should get those payments was to implement “Nazi race science.”

Carlson argued during his Wednesday broadcast that because so much time had passed since the end of slavery in the United States — and since so many generations of children had been born since — that ancestral records coupled with DNA tests would likely be required to “prove” that individuals were, in fact, the descendants of slaves.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) created a task force in 2020 to determine how such restitution payments might be made, and the current debate is over how to determine who might be eligible to receive them.

“The first-in-the-nation task force previously voted to limit reparations to Black California residents whose ancestors were living in the United States in the 19th century. This week, the group will talk about whether there could be additional eligibility requirements and what time frame reparations could hinge on,” The Los Angeles Times reported.

Tucker Carlson Slams Pete Buttigieg, Who Joined the Military During ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,’ for ‘Lying’ About Being Gay

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News’s top-rated opinion host, Tucker Carlson, ripped into Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday night and claimed that Buttigieg “hid” and “lied” about his sexual orientation “for reasons he has never been asked to explain.”

Buttigieg very publicly came out as gay while serving as mayor of South Bend, Indiana in 2015, writing an article in his local newspaper. Buttigieg who joined the military in 2009, later wrote about the toll “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” took on him while serving in the reserves as the policy, which ended in 2011, barred military personnel from being openly gay. . .

“Pete Buttigieg, of course, couldn’t pass up a moment like this. It’s not like Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about how things are going over at the Transportation Department, which he supposedly runs. Short answer not well,” Carlson said, adding:

No, Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about identity. He always wants to talk about identity. And the funny, ironic thing is and the tell just a few years ago, Buttigieg wouldn’t even admit that he was gay. He hid that and then lied about it for reasons he has never been asked to explain. Why not?

But whatever. Now he is happy to use his sexual orientation as a cudgel to bash you repeatedly in the face into submission. Quote, here’s his latest, ‘If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared, not because any of us who ever harmed you, but because you find it useful that don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.’

WATCH: Tucker Thinks He Knows Why the Midterms Went So Wrong for Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson gave his theory on Wednesday for why Republicans had such a disappointing midterm election despite a favorable landscape.

While plenty have made the case that candidate quality issues, suburban women, abortion, or former President Trump were to blame, Carlson suggested something else entirely.

“[T]he mechanics of an election. They matter. In fact, they matter sometimes more than any individual running in the election. The way people vote makes a big difference to the outcome…”

He noted the Pennsylvania Senate race was a perfect example.

Two and a half years ago, the last administration, its Republican allies in Congress, watched passively, seemingly in glassy eyed sedation as the Democratic Party used the pretext of COVID to rewrite election laws around the country in order to get its own candidates into office. They didn’t do it by accident. They knew what they were doing. Last night those laws, many of which are still on the books, paid off generously. John Fetterman bombed in his one public debate. You saw it. He humiliated himself. He made a mockery of the election, but it didn’t matter by that point.

Thanks to early voting, Fetterman’s margin was already in the bank. Nearly 70% of Democrats had voted early in the Pennsylvania races. Only 20% of Republicans did. It’s over, but it doesn’t need to be repeated. These are fixable problems. You can get your message out. You can force the other side if you try hard enough to agree on fair election rules, but you can’t do any of that unless you acknowledge these problems exist.

Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky; Is This Why Elon Musk Pulled Starlink in Ukraine?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson told off Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his show Thursday night.

Carlson began by criticizing members of the so-called “Squad,” including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, for expressing concerns about giving Ukraine money but still voting in favor of sending billions to the embattled nation.

Carlson then turned his attention to Zelensky, who he dubbed the “celebrity-endorsed dictator of the most corrupt nation in Europe.”

“Zelensky is now shaking down our cowardly Congress for more cash at the very moment our own economy, our own borders, are collapsing,” Carlson added. . .

“What? Some uppity foreigner in a t-shirt demanding money for his critical economic needs? We have critical economics too buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away. Since when does that guy have a claim on our treasury?” Carlson asked. “We don’t owe this guy anything, not one thing. Good luck, pal. That’s it. And as our economy degrades and our border is gone, that guy is lecturing us with some Christmas list, like ‘I want this, that and I want a bicycle too! Send it, quick!’ Really? Up yours, buddy.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky” HERE)

Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude

By VT. Elon Musk has indicated that the Starlink satellite internet will no longer be provided to Ukraine because the ambassador cursed at him.

The news comes days after Ukrainian ambassador Andrij Melnyk slammed the 51-year-old SpaceX founder’s proposal that the Russian invasion of Ukraine could be ended by “re-doing elections under UN supervision” in regions annexed illegally by Russia, per CNN.

On October 14, Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post journalist Jason Jay Smart wrote on Twitter that Starlink had announced that it can “no longer afford to give Ukraine free service” and “asks the Pentagon to pay for it” because Melnyk told Musk to “f*** off”.

In response, the Tesla CEO wrote that he was “just following [the] recommendation” of the ambassador – seemingly suggesting the reason why he pulled out his satellite. (Read more from “Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Rap icon and billionaire fashion mogul Kanye West restated his well-known pro-life stance during his explosive interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, citing the abundance of black babies being aborted in New York City.

Wearing the photograph of a baby’s ultrasound, Kanye expressed his support for the pro-life cause while highlighting the overwhelming number of black babies aborted in the United States.

“I’m pro-life,” he said.

“What kind of response do you get?” Carlson asked in reference to the badge.

“I don’t care about people’s responses, I care about the fact that there’s more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point. That 50 percent of black death in America is abortion. So I really don’t care about people’s responses, I perform for an audience of one, and that’s God.”

Kanye West: ‘A Majority of Media Have a Godless Agenda’

By Breitbart. Rap icon and billionaire fashion mogul Kanye West scolded the establishment media during his explosive interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, charging it pushes a Godless agenda.

West calling out the media came after he defended his recent decision to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his Paris.

“I do certain things from a feeling. I just channel the energy. It just feels right. It’s using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and just brilliance,” he said of the shirt. “If you ask Tonya Harding how she did the [Triple Axel], she was in so much practice that when it was time for her to skate in a competitive format, it just happened. It happened outside of practice. It happened in the real format. That’s what’s happening.” . . .

“God is like preparing us for the real battles. We are in a battle with the media,” he said. “The majority of the media has a Godless agenda and jokes are not working. They don’t work because the media has watched travesties happen, specifically to me, and just act like it wasn’t happening.”
