Fox News Host Mark Levin Says It’s All the Racists That Make the Country Work
He accidentally said the quiet part out loud.
Mark Levin, a right-wing radio personality and longtime host of Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox, went on air on Friday to admit he was a racist.
Okay, maybe that’s a little simplistic. What I meant to say was, Mark Levin totally admitted he was a racist the other day on his program. It was a little breathtaking, honestly. It’s not that we didn’t already know that or anything. Hell, he just had a show last month where he actually said that Black Lives Matter protesters carry “spears.”
But for someone who’s used coded language in order to fit in on mainstream shows for his entire career, hearing him just come out with it like that made me do a double-take.
On his radio show, Levin went on a rant about “two sets of rules,” one for “law-abiding American citizens” and another for “illegal aliens.”

But if that already sounds bad, buckle up:
We have two sets of rules, one for illegal aliens who come into this country, and we don’t know about them, and two, the rest of us law-abiding American citizens who follow the laws and pay our taxes.
That’s right. We’re the ones, you know, the ‘racists,’ as the media call us. All the racists out there, we’re the ones that make the country work. We’re the ones that provide the food and harvest it.
We’re the ones who truck it across the country. We’re the ones who put it on the shelves to feed their fat faces. That’s correct.
Actually, Mark, I can’t remember the last time I saw someone who makes enough money to pay income tax harvesting any food.
This is yet another attempt by a hardcore conservative to use populist messages of unity against “Them” in order to rile up the right-wing base.
Unfortunately, this stuff often works. Especially on racists like Mark Levin.
