Last week, right-wing, anti-migrant rioters set fire to vehicles and looted stores in Dublin, Ireland after rumors circulated that the perpetrator of a recent knife attack was an undocumented immigrant. On the heels of the riots, Tucker Carlson used his Tucker on X show to, once again, amplify a white supremacist conspiracy theory.

The perpetrator of the knife attack, who is originally from Algeria, has been an Irish citizen for “about 20 years” according to the BBC. One five-year-old girl who was injured in the attack was also from a migrant family, and the assailant was subdued thanks to a Brazilian delivery driver.

However that didn’t stop Carlson and his guest, Steve Bannon, from framing the attack as part of a larger war against the white citizens of Ireland.

“So the Irish government is trying to replace the population of Ireland with people from the Third World. Obviously. But why?” he asked. “Ireland was never a colonial power. These are not people they once ruled coming back to the mother country. The same people have lived in Ireland for thousands of years. They have a native population and they’re being replaced.”

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, a far-right website that he once called the “platform for the alt-right,” responded by enthusiastically embracing the white supremacist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.

According to this conspiracy theory, which has motivated several acts of terrorism from Christchurch, New Zealand to Buffalo, NY, there is a plot (usually by Jewish elites) to replace white people with immigrants of color. And it is a conspiracy that Carlson himself has amplified on several occasions.

“And look, you talk about the great replacement theory and people — oh, people get very upset when you talk about [it] but you just look at the math,” Bannon said.

“This is happening across Europe. It’s happened in Germany. This is why [Hungarian PM Viktor] Orbán has been so singled out. This has been, quite frankly, why [Italian PM] Giorgia Meloni, who was one person who we supported a lot when she got in there because the EU was gonna cut Italy off from money, really backed off a lot on this immigration policy.”

He also suggested that the reason for this “Great Replacement” was that political elites view non-white people from other countries to be more easily controlled than working class, white Europeans.

As he explained, the “Germans and the people in Brussels, the party of Davos, just doesn’t think the working class European population is very controllable” and blames them for World War I and World War II. “So they’ve always been — they’ve tried to control them every way possible,” he said. “Now they’re using immigration.”

“And Ireland is one of the worst examples. And that’s why it’s a powder keg,” he added.

Carlson then said that one reason for this “replacement” is actually anti-white “race hate.” As he told Bannon, “I can’t think of a better explanation. I mean, there’ve been wars in Africa, sort of every week for my entire life, and no one’s saying ‘We’ve got too many Africans in Nigeria, let’s replace them with Indians’ or something.”

Carlson said that “if you’re born in a country where your ancestors were also born, and you’ve paid your taxes, and obeyed the laws, and participated in civic life,” then “it’s fair to call it your country.” But, he said, when “your government, which hates you, lets in tens of millions of people illegally” then “it’s fair to say your country’s being stolen from you.”

“Is it not or am I missing something?” he asked. “I don’t think these are like semantic questions, these are deep questions of principle. Isn’t that fair to say?”

Bannon said that what Carlson “laid out is pretty common sense,” and complained that if you talk about the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. — estimating at “nine or ten [million] just on [President] Biden’s watch” — then “they come after you for [the] great replacement theory.” Bannon added that immigrants have made cities like Chicago “basically uninhabitable.”

Carlson also kept predicting greater “unrest” and radicalization as a result of allowing immigrants into Ireland and other European countries.

“I mean, at some point, again you just worry about unrest because they’ve kind of kept the lid on this by threatening to arrest people, I suppose, but mostly by calling them white supremacists or antisemites or whatever,” he said.

“At a certain point people [will say] ‘I’m actually not those things at all. And you’re not gonna intimidate me anymore, and you’re wrecking my country, and you’re attacking me for being white, and why would I put up with that?’ And they’re gonna get radical. Like why would that not happen?”

Bannon claimed that he, Donald Trump, and other far-right figures are neither fascists nor working to subvert democracy. Bannon, of course, is a key figure in the fraudulent “Stop the Steal” movement to subvert American elections, and once referenced fascist Italian philosopher Julius Evola in a speech.

“One of the things that hasn’t worked, they have demonized Trump and demonized this movement is that we’re trying to take democracy away. You’re a fascist. I’m a fascist. We’re the leaders of a new fascist program,” Bannon said. Laughing, Carlson interrupted to joke that they’re “Trying to take democracy away by listening to what the population wants.”

“When people look at it, they say ‘Hey, I’m not a bad person. And I’m not asking something that’s terribly aggressive. I just want my community to be my community. I don’t want to be flooded with illegal aliens that are taking jobs, causing crime, adding to homelessness, and quite frankly we can’t pay for them,” Bannon continued.

Bannon told Carlson that “people look and say ‘Hey they’re calling me a fascist every day. They’re calling Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump and Steve Bannon and many, many others leaders of a fascist movement. Well I don’t feel like a fascist. I feel like it’s common sense.'”
