Fox News host Tucker Carlson started his show on Tuesday night with a fiery monologue lambasting the “intentional” crisis involving the poor and homeless in American cities.

Carlson asked “what happened” on his show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” amid an apparent collapse of American society, lamenting that “at every intersection, there are beggars. It’s what we used to imagine India was like, but this is not Calcutta.”

Carlson got straight to it: “the short answer is our leaders did this.”
