Summary

And Tucker Carlson, the most-watched host on Fox News, has championed the ideology, which holds not just that immigration is reshaping demography and politics but that a cadre of elites is engineering population changes for political gain.Nearly 1 in 3 Americans say they are extremely or very concerned that “native-born Americans are losing economic, political, and cultural influence in this country because of the growing population of immigrants,” according to recent polling from the Associated Press and NORC.Since 2011, when French polemicist Renaud Camus used the term as the title for a self-published book spreading fantastical claims about immigrants killing off European culture, his conspiracy theories have been translated on far-right forums and turned into catchphrases deployed by extremists.Gendron, who wrote that he grew concerned about declining White birthrates and the “genocide of the European people” by trawling 4chan, the anonymous online message board, is only the latest exponent of the “great replacement” to turn to violence.His forerunners and role models have left a trail of destruction stretching from Norway, where Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people, including 69 at a summer camp, on a single day in 2011, to Christchurch, New Zealand, where Brenton H. Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said the video violated the platform’s terms of service and that the post has been removed.Gendron’s 180-page document describes his radicalization on Internet forums and details a plan to target the Black community in Buffalo, 200 miles from his home in Conklin, N.Y.It makes explicit the inspiration he found from Breivik and, in particular, from Tarrant, while also citing hate-fueled murders at synagogues in Pittsburgh and Halle, Germany, as well as at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C.Fear of a “great replacement” animated cries of “You will not replace us” at the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, after which then-President Donald Trump said there were “very fine people, on both sides.”Gendron’s document apes many of Tarrant’s words, a sign of how directly extremists are citing one another when they resort to violence. “But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening, actually.”Perry, the Pennsylvania Republican, raised the idea during a hearing held by a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee the same month.“For many Americans, what seems to be happening or what they believe right now is happening is, what appears to them is we’re replacing national-born American — native-born Americans — to permanently transform the political landscape of this very nation,” Perry said.A Fox spokeswoman did not address Carlson’s commentary about the “great replacement” narrative, including a request for evidence underlying his claims, but pointed to several instances in which the host has said he stands against political violence.
