While feigning concern for forgotten Americans, Tucker Carlson exploited the tragedy of a drop in U.S. life expectancy to demonize immigrants and, for extra divisiveness, Obamacare.
Before getting to the topic of shortened life expectancy, Carlson paved the way for his politicization of adversity by suggesting that the caravan of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. are disease-ridden, just poised to infect the rest of us and to drain U.S. resources for their medical care. And although Carlson reiterated the list of diseases Fox & Friends fear mongered about earlier in the day, the threat can't be too great because white-nationalist hero Carlson described it as “some danger,” rather than something more terrifying.
Then, without explicitly making a connection, Carlson nevertheless suggested one when he segued to the drop in life expectancy.
