Tucker Carlson offered a vigorous defense of his coverage of white farmers in South Africa, who he says face the threat of having their land expropriated by the country’s political leaders.

Carlson said that his facts were accurate and that extremism in the country against its white minority was a real problem.

The Fox News host then played footage of Al Sharpton on MSNBC, who suggested that Carlson was parroting “neo-Nazi” talking points by speaking about the concerns of white South Africans.
