I never heard of this HUD Community Block Development Grant before Tucker Carlson and i think its a good program (help low to moderate communities develop) but I was amazed at how much Tucker Carlson just out right lied and made stuff up.

In early 2009, the Obama administration made a surprising, probably unprecedented accusation against Westchester County, New York—a pretty liberal place. According to the Obama administration, Westchester was an instrument of white supremacy — not the good liberals who live in Westchester, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, many others. No one accused them of being bigots. The problem was the buildings they lived in. All those single-family homes — row upon leafy row, set back from the street, well-tended lawns and mailboxes — were examples of racism — literally "structural racism." The only solution, the Obama people announced, was much greater density: more subsidized housing complexes in Westchester, more hi-rise apartment buildings, maybe some drug-addicted vagrants living on the sidewalk, begging for change. Only if Westchester became more like the Bronx could it become non-racist.

"According to the Obama administration, Westchester was an instrument of white supremacy .."
This is just straight dog whistle word salad to rile up the Tucker Carlson fan base ...
This program was started in the 70s under Ford, not Obama
This program requires 70% of the grant money to be used towards developing low to moderate income housing .. so if your exclusively single family only zoning, you cant use 70% of the grant money to help low to moderate income bc you have no low to moderate income.
Obama wasnt forcing communities to build high rises etc. Westchester was taking money they should have never received by intentionally committing fraud on their grant application forms.
People who watched Carlsons show think Obama is forcing white communities to have "drug addicted vagrants living on their streets" .... when this is not true, not even close to true
im just amazed at the level Carlson will lie and his viewers take it as gospel.
This took 2 minutes of googling to fact check
Stunning example of Tucker Carlson being an absolute untrustworthy source of information .. fake news, misinformation ....
