On a recent edition of Carl Higbie FRONTLINE, host Carl Higbie tore into what he called a manufactured racism narrative, arguing Democrats have deliberately amplified racial grievance to goose turnout and cling to power. He did not mince words, saying Democrats portray any loss of control as “Jim Crow 2.0” in order to keep their coalition agitated and loyal.
Higbie delivered that message on Newsmax, where his Frontline program has become a prime-time venue for conservative rebuttal and populist commentary. Newsmax has been promoting the program as a fast-growing show that reaches millions of viewers who are tired of the same old press narratives.
Conservatives have watched this pattern for years: identity politics is turned into a cudgel while the real debates about jobs, schools, and public safety get swept aside. Higbie highlighted how partisan map-making and demographic appeals can be weaponized so districts and narratives favor one party, a point that has become central in recent fights over redistricting in states like Virginia.
Make no mistake — calling out the cynical politics of racial grievance does not mean denying real injustices, it means demanding honest, solutions-focused debate instead of perpetual victimhood. Media outlets and left-wing watchdogs may shriek when Republicans push back, but the American people deserve leaders who want to fix problems rather than keep them alive for votes.
Carl Higbie is no stranger to controversy, and critics will point to his own past statements when he was forced from a prior public role; that history makes his bluntness polarizing but also underscores why many conservatives value a host who fights back. Voters can judge for themselves whether candid talk about political exploitation is preferable to the performative politics offered by the left.
Patriots who love this country should reject the idea that America must be boxed into permanent grievance categories to be governed. We need leaders who champion opportunity, law and order, and unity under shared American principles — not those who trade on division to harvest votes.
