Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that Justin Trudeau’s blackface scandal has exposed the Canadian prime minister’s inner racism and hypocrisy.
During his show’s opening segment on Thursday night, Carlson ripped Trudeau, calling him a phony that, in reality, is much different than his woke public image.
“He may be the most sanctimonious head of state on planet earth so, of course, he was leading a secret life as a racist,” Carlson said. “That’s why he is so sanctimonious — so you won’t notice.”

Carlson compared Trudeau to the”super-sensitive” feminist brother-in-law who inevitably ends up hitting on the babysitter.
“The virtue is always a cover for the sin,” Carlson added. “That’s the key to understanding the modern left; whatever they’re accusing you of doing, they’re doing themselves, but more enthusiastically.

On Thursday’s “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah took a look at the unexpected news that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a long history of wearing blackface costumes, and identified some big problems with it — besides the racism of course.
On Wednesday, Trudeau apologized after Time Magazine published a photo from 2001 in which Trudeau wore brownface as part of an “Aladdin” costume. At the time, Trudeau also admitted to a separate instance of using Blackface. Since then, a video taken in the early 1990s emerged in which he put makeup on his face, neck, arms, hands and legs.
Noah started with a look at the photo from 2001. “There are so many problems with this photo. First of all, it’s obviously never ok to do blackface and secondly, if you are gonna darken your skin, at least get the color right,” Noah joked as the Trudeau photo appeared next...

The soundtrack for Disney's Aladdin is about to get even more magical! The iconic 1992 animated film is getting the live-action treatment, and it has the perfect team behind it. In addition to the star-studded cast, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are teaming up with Disney music legend Alan Menken to create a few brand-new songs! The two recently dished about the music for the upcoming film to Variety, and we're already freaking out.
"We got to write a new song for Jasmine," Paul told the publication. "Alan wrote a beautiful piece of music and [Naomi Scott] is incredible." And if you're obsessed with "A Whole New World," then you're in luck, because Aladdin and Jasmine are getting a whole new duet as well. "It's a sweet song," Paul added. Not to mention, Pasek and Paul also wrote a new verse for "Arabian Nights," which was originally written by Menken and the late Howard Ashman.

The soundtrack of a Disney animated film is one of its most important aspects, though that’s something that the previous live-action remakes of these movies have approached differently. The Jungle Book and Cinderella decided to scale back on the singing and dancing, while Beauty and the Beast embraced the musical side of things, even adding in a few new songs.
Now, the upcoming revamp of Aladdin seems to be taking the Beast route. While talking to Variety, songwriters Benji Pasek and Justin Paul confirmed that they’ve penned two completely new songs for the reboot of the Arabian Nights-inspired tale, alongside original composer Alan Menken.
First off, Naomi Scott’s Princess Jasmine will get her own song this time. “We got to write a new song for Jasmine,” Paul said. “Alan wrote a beautiful piece of music and [Scott] is incredible.” What’s more, Mena Massoud’s Aladdin and...
