With an advertiser boycott already financially damaging his show, Tucker Carlson will address the growing controversy that his former head writer has posted racist, sexist and homophobic comments on internet comment section on Monday’s show, PBS reports.

The writer, Blake Neff, resigned last week after reporting from CNN that he had used an anonymous account to post the inflammatory comments on the forum AutoAdmit.

The posts were so incendiary that even Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace felt the need to denounce Neff calling the viewpoints “horrific.”

They do not, however, address Carlson’s own xenophobia and misogyny telecast on his opinion show, which has recently become the most-watched show on cable news and a favorite of President Trump’s.

Former CNN and NBC host Soledad O’Brien, who is Black and Latina, told NPR, “I think his show is very close to what his writer, Blake Neff was doing, apparently anonymously for five years.  [Carlson is] anti-immigrant, he’s frequently racist. He says despicable things about women, he says despicable things about Asians. He says despicable things about Latinos. He talks about the kind of people who ‘hate’ America.”

Carlson has had a string of controversies that have made him a hero of the alt-right and a bane to advertisers.  Recently, he questioned the patriotism of Senator Tammy Duckworth, who lost her legs serving as a US Army helicopter pilot in Iraq and is believed to be on the short-list for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s vice president.  He called her a coward and a fraud.

He’s denied the impact of the coronavirus.  He’s called racial sensitivity training “the purest kind of racism.”  He called the BLM movement a “terrorist organization” and “poison.”

Carlson is so toxic that many advertisers have had a long-time boycott against his show.  MMFA President Angelo Carusone analyzed three months of advertising on Carlson’s show and found 41% of commercial time was taken by one person:  the owner of MyPillow, to pitch his company and his book.
