Great Replacement theory

The Great Replacement theory, originating with French author Renaud Camus's 2011 book 'Le Grand Remplacement', holds that European-descended populations in Western countries are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants as part of an elite political project.

Tucker Carlson devoted multiple segments to versions of this claim on his Fox News program between 2018 and 2023, most prominently an April 2021 monologue stating Democrats were 'trying to replace the current electorate' with 'more obedient voters from the Third World'. The Anti-Defamation League called for his firing; Fox declined.

The theory was cited explicitly in the manifestos of mass shooters at the Christchurch (2019), El Paso (2019), and Buffalo Tops supermarket (2022) attacks. Carlson and supporters argue his framing was about demographic consequences of immigration policy, not race-based replacement.
