In the stories themselves, Daily Stormer writers, who are anonymous except for Anglin, repeatedly characterize Carlson as a publicly cautious ally in an approaching race war, in which whites will be forced to defend the United States from racial minorities, immigrants, and Jews. An April 2018 segment in which Carlson debated a Cuban American news analyst over so-called cry closets for students at the University of Utah to de-stress during finals became, on the Daily Stormer, “Tucker RAPES AND IMPREGNATES Crazy Eyed Whore in a COLLEGE CAMPUS CRY CLOSET.” A February 2018 debate over gun control became “Tucker FILLS Liberal Kike with LEAD for Demanding Gun Control.” A January 2018 Carlson interview with a DACA recipient became “Tucker Carlson FORCES Fat Beaner Whore to CHOKE to DEATH on GREASY TACOS.” There are dozens more stories along the same format. A typical story seizes on a confrontation between Carlson and a guest - usually a Jew, a racial minority, or a woman - and attaches a disturbingly violent headline. Most, but not all, of the stories feature clips from Carlson’s show. BuzzFeed News was able to independently verify the researcher’s work by using the same method. The researcher used subject tags, created by Daily Stormer to categorize topics on its site, to arrive at the above numbers. “We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service,” the message read.Now, new research shared with BuzzFeed News reveals just how obsessed the Daily Stormer is with the 49-year-old Carlson, who is the subject of hundreds of stories on the site over the past two years, far more than any other conservative pundit.Īn analysis by an independent researcher, who requested anonymity because he feared retaliation from Anglin and other neo-Nazis, found that Carlson had been featured in 265 articles on the Daily Stormer between November 2016 and November 2018.īy way of comparison, Sean Hannity, considered President Trump’s most rock-ribbed supporter on Fox News, was featured in 27 articles in the same time period Laura Ingraham, another Fox News host, in four and Lou Dobbs, whose Fox Business show frequently focuses on the alleged dangers posed by immigrants, two. The “hack” happened just as web hosting provider GoDaddy tweeted several people stating that it will be pulling The Daily Stormer from its servers within 24 hours. Seriously, suck less,” read a message on Twitter from one supposed Anonymous member. “If goal of Daily Stormer was to get us to celebrate a BS claim, it backfired. However, there has been some speculation that the apparent “hack” has been staged to stir up antisemitism. Heyer was killed at the weekend when a car rammed into a crowd of counter-protesters in Virginia.Įarlier, white supremacist marchers at the “Unite the Right” march, which had been promoted on The Daily Stormer, were heard chanting “f**k you faggots”. If legitimate, the group claimed that the spark for its decision to hack the site was the death of Heather Heyer, “a victim of white supremacist terrorism” in Charlottesville.
