Hello, welcome to finding out who Dave Rubin is, something that unfortunately happens to many of us. The man has a YouTube show called The Rubin Report, which he launched in 2013 after leaving The Six Pack radio program on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. For eight long years, he’s been trying to be Tucker Carlson, and he may have actually gotten closer than ever before this week with a particularly deranged viral clip.

The clip was shared by research Jason Campbell, and it’s a lot of info in just over a minute. First, Rubin rants a bit about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which is an important step in the conservative talking head playbook. He says she gave a speech that was “word salad,” which is quite an accusation considering what comes next.

“We do not have systemic racism, there are no laws in the United States that are racist against any one person,” he continued. “By the way, I do believe that the ‘woke left,’ the progressives, will instigate laws that will be racist against people. they will start having anti-white laws, this is not a crazy conspiracy theory.”

He then “cites” an example that seems pretty made up about Harvard not wanting “more Asian people” because they’re “over-represented,” then says that there are government offices trying to turn away white and Asian people from jobs. (It’s fun to make up your own statistics to justify all your stupid beliefs. Over 147 percent of all people know that.)
It is unlikely that Rubin is deeply sincere in his beliefs, he seems more interested in getting attention even if it’s just for being the foulest person online.
But the phrase “anti-white law” really captured people’s imaginations:
