Although Fox News said Carlson was referring to Democratic leaders and not protesters, Carlson's comments on Black Lives Matter were met with rebuke. Advertisers including The Walt Disney Company, Papa John's, Poshmark, and T-Mobile stopped advertising on Carlson's program. In other comments, Carlson argued that the unrest following Floyd's killing stemmed from a desire for ideological domination, rather than genuine opposition to police brutality. Carlson claimed in 2021 that "there was no physical evidence that George Floyd was murdered by a cop" and "the autopsy showed that George Floyd almost certainly died of a drug overdose", even though two autopsies found that Floyd died from homicide caused by former police officer Derek Chauvin's kneeling on his neck for more than eight minutes. Floyd had drugs in his system when he died, but medical professionals determined this did not cause his death.

He characterized the protests as "nearly a year of burning and looting and murder by BLM". Ketanji Brown Jackson Supreme Court nomination (2022) In February 2022, Carlson criticized President Joe Biden's nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, calling her "ignorant of the law", in contrast to most legal analysts who have described Jackson as highly qualified.

One commentator, Jennifer Rubin, characterized these remarks as an example of white supremacy. Kanye West interview (2022) Carlson aired an edited version of his interview with Kanye West over two days in October 2022 in which he called some of West's views "obviously true"; Carlson did not disclose that during his interview, West had made a number of antisemitic remarks and had claimed that his home had been infiltrated by "fake children" (child actors). Footage of the omitted answers, leaked to Vice News, was scrutinized in light of West's tweets shortly after the interview that he was "going death con 3" against Jewish people. Philip Bump of The Washington Post wrote that Carlson had presented "a very specific version" of West's remarks that "mirrored Carlson’s rhetoric on
