EXCERPT:

There is a major media outlet, there is a major news channel that is fueling political violence in this country, and we're acting like it's normal. It's not normal. Like I can tell you 110 percent one of the largest sources of death threats that I get is Tucker Carlson.”

And then when something happens, because it's indirect, you say, ‘Oh, I had nothing to do with that.’”
HOST: “Right.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Tucker Carlson, God forbid, anything happens he plays a massive role in political violence. Like it comes on his doorstep specifically, not -- I mean, it's not just --”

HOST: “Other journalists.”
OCASIO-CARTEZ: “-- he will target journalists, but he will also target activists and advocates that do not have resources or an infrastructure of protection, either. And it is extremely dangerous.”
