AOC Calls Out Fox News, Tucker Carlson for ‘Incitement of Violence’

During a discussion of Fox News’ recent $787.5 billion settlement with Dominion over the network’s false claims of voter fraud, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that certain Fox News hosts, including Tucker Carlson, used “incitement of violence” ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

“We have very real issues with what is permissible on air,” the Democratic representative said during an interview on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki that aired Sunday. “We saw that with Jan. 6 and we saw that in the lead up to Jan. 6 and how we navigate questions — not just a freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence — this is the line that we have to really explore through law as well.”

Psaki then asked if media organizations should be held accountable for their content if it incites violence.
