Fox News Tucker Carlson recently hosted Pete DAbrosca, a congressional candidate who has ties to white nationalism and has supported the bigoted, anti-immigrant campaign of a group known as groypers, who are trolling conservative public events with anti-Semitic dog whistles and other hateful rhetoric.

Since DAbrosca announced his congressional bid and anti-immigrant platform over the summer, hes been lauded by far-right personalities and publications including Ann Coulter and the white nationalist publication VDare and appeared on the conspiracy theory outlet Infowars (which he had also appeared on before). In that most recent appearance, he agreed with the host that Democrats get elected through illegal voting and defended the leader of the groypers, a far-right media figure, Holocaust denier, and pro-segregation activist named Nick Fuentes who hosts America First on YouTube.

Carlson himself has a long history of promoting anti-immigrant white nationalism and espousing talking points that align with the beliefs of DAbrosca and Fuentes. This commentary has included repeatedly promoting the great replacement conspiracy theory, referring to a group of migrants at the southern border as an invasion that is absolutely destroying America, and arguing that Mexico is trying to change the demographics of the U.S. to sway elections. Hes called the idea that white supremacy is a serious problem in the U.S. a hoax and said immigration makes America poorer, dirtier, and more divided.

During his December 6 appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, DAbrosca promoted his plan for a 10-year immigration moratorium, a proposal that fits with Carlsons previous denigration of immigrants.

Carlson asked DAbrosca how he can get away with pushing views most people oppose, and DAbrosca declared, Theres a new Republican Party in town, saying its members are less controlled by, should we say, the Conservative Inc. crowd, or maybe the donor class in Washington, D.C., and the political elite. Conservative Inc. is the catch-all term groypers use to refer to establishment conservatives. DAbrosca went on to criticize college conservative group Turning Point USA and right-wing website The Daily Wire, both targets of Fuentes and the groypers to effort to shift conservative politics to the far-right by targeting right-wing groups and personalities deemed insufficiently loyal to "true conservativism with racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBTQ attacks.

Along with his comments about conservatives, DAbroscas statements on Carlsons show about immigrants also mirror talking points Fuentes circulated to his followers on the messaging app and white nationalist cesspool Telegram.
...
After his segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight, DAbrosca earned praise from alt-right figures, including American Identity Movement (formerly Identity Evropa) leader Patrick Casey and crying Nazi Christopher Cantwell, Cantwell commiserated with an alt-right trollwho praised Carlson as fully on board with destroying Conservative Inc. He also got attention from Fuentes, who called the segment a HUGE deal and said it was hard to believe it was even real, it was so good. This is not the first time Carlson has earned explicit praise for white nationalists.
