Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed "woke" attempts to reframe the British Empire as worse than other historical superpowers, blaming Chinese colonialist narratives for the change. On Brian Kilmeade's radio show Friday, Carlson accused those trying to whitewash history of being "all in on the Chinese empire."
TUCKER CARLSON: QUEEN ELIZABETH II IS BEING ATTACKED BY SOME BECAUSE SHE LIVED IN A BETTER TIME
