Fox News executives must "immediately cease the reckless amplification of the so-called 'great replacement' theory" on the network's broadcasts, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a letter published by the New York Times on Tuesday. The suspect, an 18-year-old white man, allegedly authored a 180-page screed that laid out plans to attack Black people and repeatedly cited the so-called "great replacement" theory. Schumer cited a recent AP poll which found that Fox News viewers are three times more likely to believe in the great replacement theory than viewers of other networks. "Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous ‘Replacement Theory,'" he wrote. Editor's note: This post was updated to include that Schumer tweeted he was invited to Tucker Carlson's show.
