Tucker Carlsons history of hiring extremist-linked staff

Carlson and his team have a history of working with extremist and white nationalist-linked individuals. In 2021, Carlsons team collaborated with Scooter Downey, a director of alt-right and white nationalist documentaries. Downey wrote Carlsons Patriot Purge documentary, a conspiracy theory-laden, InfoWars-style three part series about the January 6 insurrection. The series and its wild claims were nothing more than fascist propaganda.

In 2020, it was revealed that one of Carlsons writers, Blake Neff, was pushing white supremacist content and making racist posts on AutoAdmit, an online forum thats known for hosting questionable content. Tucker Carlson Tonight has also hosted numerous guests with links to white nationalism.

Escandon is the director of The Most Canceled Man In America, a sympathetic documentary following Fuentes and his groyper movement of mostly white, male, young extremists. The documentary includes scenes with fellow Fuentes-linked white nationalists, including Vincent James Foxx and Tyler Russell. Escandon himself appears to be pro-insurrection, pro-Christian nationalism, anti-LGBTQ, antisemitic, and a fan of Carlson.

Escandon and Fuentes appear to have a relationship outside of this as well:
