The Buffalo suspect was enraptured with the oldest of white supremacist and Nazi tropes: That Jews were sending in non-white immigrants to replace whites.

Terrorists who believe in the replacement theory have killed Jews, Muslims, Mexicans and Black people, all seen as "invaders" trying to replace white people. This is repeated almost daily on Tucker's show. Murdochs have blood on their hands which they wipe off with money.
