Tucker Carlson blasts LA Times for calling black politician Larry Elder a white supremacist as polls show conservative radio host could replace Gavin Newsom as California governor

Fox's Tucker Carlson criticized the Los Angeles Times for printing an editorial that called black politician and California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder 'the Black face of white supremacy.' 

Carlson mocked the idea that a black man could be an agent of white supremacy in a sarcastic monologue that outlined Elder's racial identity.  

'Elder's father, who was a janitor, was black. So was Elder's mother. So were 80% of the people in their neighborhood and by all appearances, Larry Elder seemed black too... Little did they know that this child of South Central, apparently an African-American in good standing was in fact a secret agent working on behalf of global white supremacy,' Carlson jested on Fox News.

Carlson accused the LA Times of attacking Elder, the radio show host and Republican candidate looking to depose of California Governor Gavin Newsom in a recall election next month, simply because he was the favorite to become the new governor.

While recent polls show that only 48.8% of Californians want to keep Newsom in office, nearly 20% of voters want Elder to replace him, more than double the second-place favorite Kevin Paffrath, according to FiveThirtyEight. 

If Newsom is recalled, then Elder, who would have the most votes, would become the new governor. 

'Larry elder could actually win. So no wonder the 'L.A. Times' is so upset. No wonder they dispatched a crack investigative team to discover he was secretly a white supremacist,' Carlson said. 

The editorial in question came from columnist Erika Smith, who voiced her frustration over Elder's alleged indifference over the difficulties minorities face in California.

'Few things infuriate me more than watching a Black person use willful blindness and cherry-picked facts to make overly simplistic arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come along with being Black in America,' Smith wrote. 

Smith ultimately called Elder a 'Trump fanboy Republican' who opposes policies that are supported by Black Californian's.  

Elder has brushed aside Smith's column, along with other op-ed pieces critical of his policies and stances. 

'I anticipated that would happen. This is why a lot of people don't go into politics because of the politics of personal destruction,' Elder told Fox News. 

Elder also faced attacks from opponents over a series of allegations that he brandished a gun at a former fiancée during an argument in 2015. 

'I have never brandished a gun at anyone. I grew up in South Central; I know exactly how destructive this type of behavior is. It's not me, and everyone who knows me knows it's not me. These are salacious allegations,' Elder said.

California will hold a recall election on September 14 after petitions qualified for the measure to be added to the ballot after receiving more than 1.5 million signatures from voters, state election officials announced in April.

Newsom faced fierce criticism from Republicans relating to the state's response to COVID-19, crime rates and homelessness.

Since 1913, there have been 179 recall attempts of state elected officials in California, according to the office of the California Secretary of State.

Of those, 11 recall efforts collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot and though only six lawmakers have been removed from office.

If the recall effort is successful, Newsom would become only the second California effort to be recalled in the state's history.
