Tucker Carlson cautioned that migrants could have caused a “decline” on the mostly white and largely elite Martha’s Vineyard after they were flown there from Texas by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this week.
The Fox News host, who spent his Thursday show unspooling a racist rant claiming that the nearly 50 men, women and children taken to the Massachusetts island on false pretenses could have had a “goat barbecue” there, adding Friday that the migrants could generally cause the quality of life to fall wherever they settle.
Carlson remarked that Vineyard residents, who scrambled to welcome and care for the unexpected visitors, should thank DeSantis for the political antic and claimed if “government officials send you the blessed gift of diverse immigrants or refugees, you must accept.”
DeSantis took credit for the migrants’ arrival on Wednesday, and the migrants reported that a woman in Texas deceiving them into boarding a flight they thought was going to Boston.
The migrants were transported to a Cape Cod military base on Friday, where up to 125 Massachusetts National Guard members were ready to assist them, according to Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R).
Carlson said on his show, “It doesn’t matter how disruptive these new people are. It’s irrelevant how much they cost to support or how dramatically your quality of life may decline after they arrive.”
“It doesn’t matter if the crime rate spikes, if your daughter is afraid to go outside, if the schools become unusable, the hospitals fall apart,” Carlson said. “It doesn’t matter, you never complain. You take it like a man.”
Carlson also disparaged Martha’s Vineyard residents for serving cereal to the migrants.

The migrants included children. Children love breakfast cereal. The church where the migrants were sent probably had a lot of cereal. pic.twitter.com/PBKqSNysie— Decoding Fox News (@DecodingFoxNews) September 17, 2022
Tucker Carlson,
"That's a really ugly thing to do, race is un-changing. So, why would you brood about it all the time? They are obsessed with it. They're obsessed with race. And that suggests to me there's something really ugly inside them."
