Tucker Carlson lit the New York Times ablaze Monday night after one of its own interview subjects was murdered in a racially motivated attack in South Africa.

Four men entered 62-year-old vineyard owner Stefan Smit's Western Cape home and shot him dead as he was having Sunday dinner with his friends and family. Smit became the latest victim in the struggle between white landholders and black South Africans living in poverty who believe the land should be redistributed to them as reparations.

While the Times had interviewed Smit for a March piece about the struggle for land in the country's wine region, the outlet — in the same article — called claims that South African farmers were being murdered in large numbers and forced off their land "false or exaggerated allegations."

Carlson began the segment by pointing out the "hundreds" of farmers killed, "some of whom after suffering horrific tortures." And yet, the South African government has responded not by "protecting the farmers" but by working "to change the country laws in order to seize land without compensation."
