Tucker Carlson warned viewers on Monday about the possibility of a “genocide” of white people in the United States — citing a Georgetown University professor who called for violence and death among white Americans.
Carlson began by criticizing ABC politics chief Matthew Dowd for a piece which took heat Monday for its overt call for white Christian men to step down from positions of power.
“Former Bush campaign strategist and ABC News political analyst, Matthew Dowd published an Op-Ed demanding that white male Christians vacate their positions of power for other people,” said Carlson. “He’s not doing that himself but he did not, notably, advocate for genocide.”
Carlson then accused Georgetown professor Christine Fair of doing just that and read a graphic and violent tweet from Fair directed at white men.
“Look at this course of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” said Fair, criticizing the recent coverage of Brett Kavanaugh. “All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.”
“Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes,” she added.
Twitter suspended Fair from the platform — before reinstating her late Tuesday morning.

Carlson made his remarks during a larger discussion of what he said was the left’s “obsession” with race, noting that in his view there was clearly no racial angle to the Kavanaugh story.
“Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination and the controversy around it is many things, but one thing it’s not is a race story. There’e no racial angle whatsoever and no reasonable person could disagree with that,” he said. “But that has not prevented the left from using it to vilify people for their skin color.”
This was not the first time that Fair, who currently serves as a distinguished associate professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University, has taken provocative stands.
In a piece for the Chicago Tribune last May, she bragged about harassing white nationalist Richard Spencer at the gym, saying that it was her obligation to prevent him from lifting in peace.
“We can refuse to treat this hateful, dangerous ideology as just another way of being, and fight it in every space we occupy,” she said. “I’ve made my choice. You need to make yours.”
Reps for Twitter declined to comment, Fair’s employer at Georgetown issued a statement condemning “uncivil and disrespectful discourse”
Georgetown urges members of our community to engage in robust, but respectful dialogue. While we protect speech and expression, we condemn uncivil and disrespectful discourse that is inconsistent with our values. The views of faculty members expressed in their private capacities are their own and not the views of the University. Our policy does not prohibit speech based on the person presenting ideas or the content of those ideas, even when those ideas may be difficult, controversial or objectionable. While faculty members may exercise freedom of speech, we expect their classrooms and interaction with students to be free of bias and geared toward thoughtful, respectful dialogue.
Mike Cernovich, a Timeline: From Choking Advice to Pizzagate to Firings (Photos)
Maybe you'd never heard of right-wing provocateur Mike Cernovich before last week, when he helped get James Gunn fired from the next "Guardians of the Galaxy" film by highlighting Gunn's old Twitter jokes about rape and pedophilia. But Cernovich himself has a long history online, filled with both successes and statements he has since distanced himself from -- for reasons that will be obvious.
Advice on Choking Women
Before gaining fame as a Trump superfan, Cernovich got his start in the men's rights and pick-up artist community. His advice column, published on his blog "Danger and Play," included suggestions on the proper way to "choke" women during sex. This entry from December 2011 has since been deleted: "Choking works because it’s a show of dominance. Women only want to have consensual sex with men they know could rape them."
Pizzagate
Cernovich first came to wide public attention over his promotion of a conspiracy theory during the 2016 election that suggested that a pedophile ring was being run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria. The story was bunk, and Cernovich has moved to distance himself from Pizzagate.

John Conyers
Cernovich's biggest score of all probably wasn't James Gunn, but John Conyers. A tip provided by Cernovich to BuzzFeed about accusations of sexual misconduct forced the Democrat to resign his seat in disgrace in December 2017.

Sam Seder
Mike Cernovich targeted the MSNBC contributor over a years-old joke about his daughter being raped. MSNBC dropped Seder in December 2017, but reinstated him after a public backlash.

Sopan Deb
Cernovich went after New York Times reporter Sopan Deb in March 2017 over a tweeted pun about the rapper Bow Wow. The incident earned Deb an official rebuke from the Times' then-public editor, Liz Spayd.
Josh Barro
In November 2017, Cernovich demanded an apology from Josh Barro after the Business Insider Senior Editor made fun of his lisp. Barro swiftly retreated.

Perry Fein
In June 2018, Los Angeles Times freelancer Perry Fein slipped into Cernovich's DMs and wished harm upon him. His relationship with the newspaper was over just hours later.

James Gunn
Last week, Cernovich helped lead an online campaign highlighting old tweets in which Gunn joked about rape about pedophilia. Gunn offered an apology, but was dropped by Disney from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise.

Cheri Jacobus
Before the James Gunn situation, Cernovich also led a brief and successful campaign to pressure USA Today to drop columnist Cheri Jacobus. The decision from the paper came after Jacobus' bizarre comments about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Michael Ian Black
Cernovich has trained his fire on comedian Michael Ian Black, who has said several times on Twitter that his tweets about pedophilia were only jokes.
YouTube
Dan Harmon
Fresh off his victory in ousting Gunn from "Guardians of the Galaxy," Cernovich forced "Rick and Morty" co-creator Dan Harmon and his employers at Adult Swim to apologize over an old sketch that featured Harmon graphically simulating the rape of a baby. (The sketch used a doll, not an actual baby.)
