Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted a San Francisco “activist” Wednesday for claiming that “structural racism” increases the “risk” of infant mortality.

“Many people don’t realize this, but here in San Francisco, black and Pacific Islander women have significantly more risk of maternal mortality, infant mortality and pregnancy complications than other people, and people also don’t realize that this risk is primarily due to racism. Both structural racism, and the racism that birthing people and other people experience when they’re interacting with physicians and other medical providers,” the “mother healer and “activist,” identified only as Zea, said.
“So that is, every word of it, a racist lie, there is essentially no evidence that structural racism exists in this country against the community she’s talking about and none whatsoever that it causes higher infant mortality,” Carlson said. “There’s no science whatsoever, that’s just again, a racist lie, but more to the point, nobody who says birthing people should ever be in charge of handing out money to mothers, much less taxpayer’s money.”
WATCH:
Carlson also discussed the firing of San Francisco Elections Commission Director John Arntz, noting that the president of the elections commission said the reason for the firing was to act on the city’s “racial equity plan.” Arntz was later rehired after a backlash, according to the San Francisco Examiner.
“If you are the most vulnerable person in the community, you get a thousand dollars per month,” Carlson said after playing a video clip of a local news report discussing guaranteed income programs in San Francisco and other localities. “But that specifically does not include the homeless guy OD’ing in the park on fentanyl if he’s white. If he’s white, he can die because, if he is white, even if he is dying, he is by definition not vulnerable.”
The San Francisco Department of Public Health did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Climate Change Cult.” The “Anti-Racism Cult.” The “Cult of Wokeness.” The “LGBTQ Cult” and its predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Transgender Cult.” The “Cult of Abortion.” The “COVID Cult.” The “Cult of Globalism.” “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.
To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.
Although the high priesthood of all these leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – may be true believers, the people actually wielding REAL POWER do not believe any of it. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is REALLY up to, which is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, and a total transformation of America and the world.
All of this and much more is explored in a powerful, insightful and absolutely unique way in the latest issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOLY WAR: Defeating the growing cult of leftism and its total war on Christianity.”
