What it is: Sabotage, Sedition, and Stupidity. What it ain't: Patriotism
If you heard Tucker Carlson was trying to incite another jan. 6-style coup against the US government, would you be surprised?
I mean, he does call the perps “political prisoners”, suggesting that they are “victims”, but all white american males are victims, right? Victims of ‘the media’— of which Tucky is a prominent member—and of The Government, that shadowy cabal of elected elites like Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar, Marjorie Greene, Matt Goetz and many other assorted pervs and loonies who are among Tucky’s BFFs. But not that Government—but the one that exists only in the dark fevered swamps of Fox’s audience, the White Grievance Bubble.
And of course, they are the victims of black americans, immigrants, trans children, the ‘woke’, schools, Hollywood, liberal corporations, doctors who won’t cure them with th remedies the medical industry doesn’t want you to know about, books, science, bathrooms, small pieces of cloth, the CIA, FBI, EPA, freight trains, the military, non-christians—did I leave anybody out? Is there anybody left?
Tucky has already produced one such documentary about 1/6, called [cough, cough] Patriot Purge. This piece of North Korean/KGB-style agitprop implies that the insurrection was not carried out by the former guy’s groveling synchophants — (many of whom were featured in violent footage their fellow terrorists had posted online) but by the fictional antifa, FBI, and crisis actors—presumably the same people who show up at every school shooting and blow rooms full of small children to bloody bits.
Some of these folks are apparently in the US military, too. In Tuck’s narration of the foul deeds of the day blamed on innocent culterrorists, he claims ominously that “the helicopters have left Afghanistan and now they’ve landed here at home.”
This was a bridge too far over the cliff for even some of Tuck’s compatriots at Fox, who openly ragged him, and two commentators from the news division quit in protest—one of them being Jonah Goldberg, one of the most conservative stalwarts ever to grace a CPAC podium.
Tuck even dubbed the murderous rampage “a forgettably minor outbreak by recent standards” and a mere act of “vandalism”. Which must be comforting to the families of the seven people left dead in the carnage.
But as you probably know, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) , in another act of self-abasement/crawling on his belly like a snake, released thousands of hours of Jan. 6, 2021, security footage to Fox News host, young Tuck. This has raised alarms about national security risks by some members of Congress. .. but really, what could Carlson actually do?
Well, as it turns out…
“Former members of the House select committee that investigated the riot, are warning that granting Carlson such access could ultimately reveal methods used by law enforcers to defend the Capitol complex — details the investigators say they took pains to obscure.
“The apparent transfer of video footage represents an egregious security breach,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) wrote Tuesday in a letter to the members of his caucus. “McCarthy is endangering Members, staff, institutional workers and Capitol Police”.
The reason all of the footage wasn’t released previously is because “it lays out floor design, evacuation routes, where the vice president went, where the senior members of Congress were evacuated and so on,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said.
“We worked with Capitol Police ahead of time to make sure that we weren’t showing the VP’s exit route, the exit route for the Speaker, for the members,” one source from the 1/5 committee said, noting the footage can also reveal the location of security cameras. “We don’t want to let everyone know the schematics of the Capitol. “
“The footage Speaker McCarthy is making available to Fox News will … allow those who want to commit another attack to learn how Congress is safeguarded,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer added.
You know that the insurrectionists were planning to hang Mike Pence, right? If they had hold of this info, now in the very secure possession of some of the very best friends Vladmir Putin has ever had, they may well have been able to accomplish their goal.
But Tucker Carlson would never dream of endangering anyone just for ratings, would he? Would he?
