Fox News Tried To Blame Weed For The Uvalde Mass Shooting

Perhaps in an attempt to avoid discussing topics like gun control and racist conspiracies adopted by mass shooters, some of Fox News’ biggest stars have shifted their attention to seemingly bigger threats to American democracy: Canada and weed. On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson spent a good six minutes misrepresenting new firearm and drug policies in Canada. Carlson’s colleague Laura Ingraham, on the other hand, wants to know why more people aren’t talking about weed in relation to the mass shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two adults dead and injured another 17 people. Citing vague news reports that claimed the Uvalde shooter smoked weed, Ingraham suggested the fact that Americans aren’t hearing more about the link between cannabis and mass shootings is a “pro-marijuana” conspiracy.
