Fox News' top-rated host has responded to critics who accused him of inspiring the deranged gunman responsible for the deaths of 10 people in Buffalo, New York.
The horrific shooting occurred at a grocery store on Saturday. The man behind the trigger described himself in rambling online manifestos as a “moderate left authoritarian.” However, Tucker Carlson's critics blamed him, in part, for the massacre for supposedly fanning the flames of racial intolerance.
Not one to sit idly by, Tucker responded to their attacks last night:
RedState further reports:
Carlson notes the way in which Democrats rushed to execute a coordinated campaign to assign culpability for the Buffalo massacre to everyone from Donald Trump to Elise Stefanik. And shock of all shocks, the solution is to act on the left's prior demands by limiting speech and cracking down on social media companies. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is shown in a clip proclaiming that you “can't shout fire in a crowded theater” and that “hate speech” isn't protected under the law. Both those claims are false, but even if they weren't, think about who gets to define what “hate speech” is, and then you'll understand the left's end game.
Later in his monologue, Carlson moved on to Joe Biden. As RedState reported on Sunday, the president is headed to Buffalo, scheduling a trip almost immediately. That's in sharp contrast to the litany of nonsensical excuses the White House gave for why he couldn't visit Waukesha, WI, after a black supremacist killed six people, including a child, and injured 60+ others. Yes, it appears Biden is choosing what mass killings to respond to based on politics, but that's hardly surprising given the vicious, vindictive partisanship that animates him.
Instead of seeking to help Americans as they continue to be harmed by his policies and a variety of other factors, Biden is doubling down on division, proclaiming the GOP an “existential threat to the nation's democracy.” That led Carlson to his main point, which is that the dangerous racialization of our politics that “erases people” and “dehumanizes them” incites violence in the process. There is no free lunch, and when one side constantly proclaims the other side evil, specifically dividing people along racial lines, it should be expected that unstable individuals may respond in evil ways.
Carlson ends by noting that the only way out of this and back to some semblance of sanity is to choose to de-escalate. That comes from treating people as human beings regardless of their race or ethnicity. It also comes from ceasing to use inherent traits as a wedge to gain political power. Unfortunately, our leaders have no desire to stop jamming their fingers into the wound.
Only the willfully ignorant don’t see through dementia Joe’s racism. “Never let a tragedy go to waste when you can use it for your own sick political purposes.” What to go Joe.
Everyone knows all this fresh new hatred comes from demtards. They keep the coals burning just to make some feel bad enough to bow under to them
I absolutely agree with Tucker. The constant racist accusations by the left, of the right, is disturbing to say the least and totally false. There will always be some people on both sides who hate for superficial reasons like race, but the majority of people are not racist on both sides of the aisle. The philosophy of the left as a party seems to be hatred of the right and by their promotion of hatred in all its ugly forms, they are causing violence like the Buffalo horror story. I’m a Conservative and I feel absolutely no feelings of hatred toward any group of people nor does anyone I know feel hatred. It’s a false narrative promoted by the left. It’s the quality of the person that matters and nothing else.
It is very sad that our dementia president is so racist and the cause of evil and hate. It has gotten so bad that even he doesn’t know or understand how he has polarized this nation. Dinkins did it in NYC in the nineties. Obama did it in the 2000’s. Now Joe is doing the same thing. People just don’t understand how bad it is. They continue to believe lies and gaslighting by networks trying to get viewership and politicians looking for votes. Americans need to think and vote their conscience not what our leaders lie in order to control and get their vote.
