WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH BLACKFACE? [UPDATED] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been engulfed in a blackface controversy, and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving twit. As more old photos and videos tumble out of the closet, the BBC headlines: “Canada’s Justin Trudeau cannot say how often he wore blackface.” Three or four instances have come to light so far, and Trudeau says there may be more. He really can’t remember, despite being only 47 years old and presumably in full possession of his faculties. read more from our friends at POWERLINE
Tucker Carlson mocks CNN’s Don Lemon for blackface hypocrisy over coverage of Megyn Kelly, Justin Trudeau By Brian Flood | Fox News
Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out Thursday the hypocrisy surrounding mainstream media’s coverage of the Justin Trudeau blackface scandal by comparing the way CNN’s Don Lemon has handled it to the outrage the liberal host expressed when Megyn Kelly was under fire for blackface comments last year. The Canadian prime minister apologized during a news conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Thursday, but Carlson said that Trudeau didn’t actually take responsibility but rather “transferred it” by blaming privilege. “He’s moving responsibility for what he did from himself to the rest of us… it’s not a confession, it’s a justification and the only people dumb enough to buy it are the news media, of course. The dumbest people in the world,” Carlson said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Tucker Carlson pointed out Don Lemon was outraged over Megyn Kelly, but is excited Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized. Carlson then singled out CNN’s Lemon, playing a clip of the liberal host covering Trudeau’s apology by mocking President Trump. “Wow, a leader apologizing. It seems odd, doesn’t it? I mean, because we have one who doesn’t,” Lemon said this week on “CNN Tonight." “He says he didn’t think it was racist at the time, now he knows better,” Lemon added. “Think about it however you want to think about it. When someone apologizes, wow, we don’t often see that here. Especially a world leader who's saying, ‘I should have known better and I’m sorry.’” read more |
