Majority Leader Chuck Schumer used his time on the Senate floor on Tuesday to berate Fox News and popular host Tucker Carlson, claiming that the network’s — and specifically Carlson’s — coverage was influencing people like the man who killed ten people over the weekend in Buffalo, New York.

Carlson has suggested on his show that the Democratic Party favors an open southern border because they believe the influx of illegal immigrants will benefit them politically by diluting the political power of those who oppose them — and Schumer argued that because the suspect in the Buffalo shooting wrote about Replacement Theory in a lengthy and heavily-racist diatribe, it was people like Carlson and networks like Fox News that were truly responsible.
