Tucker Carlson absolutely dismantled an Australian journalist while taking questions at the sold-out Australian Freedom Conference in Canberra, as part of his Australian tour.
After discussing a wide range of topics – including the release of Julian Assange, woke corporations, and corrupt pharmaceutical companies (watch here), Carlson took questions. from the audience – two of whom were antagonistic journalists.
Kat Wong of the Australian Associated Press launched into an attack of Carlson, saying "So, you talked a little bit about immigration, and, in the past, you've talked about how white Australians, Americans, Europeans, are being replaced by non-white immigrants in what is often referred to as the Great Replacement Theory,"
To which Carlson interrupted, saying "Have I said that whites are being replaced? I don't think I said that."
Wong then went into full 'ACKCHYUALLY' mode, firing back that "It's been mentioned on your show 4,000 times" (it hasn't).
"Really? When did I say that?" Carlson replied. "I said, 'Whites are being replaced'?"
Wong doubled down, insisting that Carlson had made the 'replacement' theory about race – to which Carlson completely dismantled her, The Blaze reports.
"I said, 'Native-born Americans are being replaced, including blacks,'" Carlson shot back. "Native-born Americans … like black Americans have been — African-Americans have been in the United States for, in many cases, their families, over 400 years. And their concerns are every bit as real and valid and alive to me as the concerns of white people whose families have been there 400 years. So, I've never said that whites are being replaced."
After that mic drop, Wong tried to claim she wasn't calling Carlson a racist… only to pivot to blaming him for a mass shooting.
"This is the same theory or, as you say, idea, that's inspired the New York, Buffalo, shooting," said Wong.
"Come on," Carlson replied. "How do they get people this stupid in the media? I guess it doesn't pay well. … I don't mean to call you stupid — maybe you're just pretending to be."
Wong, a terrible driver, then steered the conversation into a ravine over gun control.

The next liberal ambush came from Paul Sakkal of the Sydney Morning Herald, who suggested that Carlson should feel "shame" and "regret" for interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin – noting that conservatives have called Putin "reprehensible."
Carlson suggested that his criticism of the Ukraine war should not be conflated with support for the Russian leader – and indicated that he does not in fact support him, but that if he did, it shouldn't matter because free citizens in free countries should be able to support whomever they choose.
