Patton Oswalt, Lil Nas X and other celebrities have fired back at Fox News host Tucker Carlson for claiming they helped fund “chaos” by donating money to bail out protesters across the nation.
On Friday night’s edition of his self-titled show, Carlson played a video listing the names of actors, musicians and athletes he claims are contributing to looting and unrest via their checkbooks.
The right-leaning host began his comments by bashing corporations for donating to Black Lives Matter as protests continue around the country over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
“Big companies — cynical, soulless, craven corporations like Pepsi, Intel and AirBnB are funding this chaos,” Carlson said. “They’re giving money to Black Lives Matter, which is pushing to defund the police. But it isn’t just major corporations that are fueling all of this. Celebrities are, too, by paying to get violent rioters out of jail.
