Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into the media last night for their vile approval of the Biden administration’s shocking government overreach.
The primetime host discussed two stories that broke this week: the DOJ investigating parents protesting their kids’ liberal schools as domestic terrorists, and a secret court order showing the Biden administration was spying on civilians through their Google searches.
Carlson opened his show blasting Biden’s radical Attorney General, Merrick Garland, for targeting parents, who have a right to be angry at the trash schools are teaching their children. “Parents who believe in things like biological sex, who oppose racial hierarchies imposed in pre-kindergarten classrooms, teaching kids to hate their parents, those are the threat, according to the Biden administration,” Carlson noted. He pointed out how the DOJ memo doesn’t cite any actual evidence of violence, but admits the government will work with local school boards to determine what is a threat. “Oh, so it is a propaganda operation funded by you out of the department of so-called justice designed to tell teachers and school board members that when parents complain it is domestic terrorism,” he mocked.
The Fox host then called out the dishonest media, specifically CNN, MSNBC's Jason Johnson and “loathsome” MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for approving of this government overreach.
Earlier this year, Wallace repeatedly suggested the president use drone strikes on American citizens she disagreed with politically: [CLICK “EXPAND”]
Imagine if Donald Trump DOJ designated, say, CNN anchors as domestic terrorists. Put it in writing and then told men with guns to enforce the law. How would that go over? We, for one, would be outraged by that. All decent Americans would. A lot of CNN anchors made excuses for violence during the riots of last year, but the media aren't upset about this….
Look around cable news and you won't find anybody explaining what is actually going on. Instead you will find people like Nicolle Wallace barking about how people who don't agree with her don't deserve civil liberties. We almost never use her name on the air. Nicolle Wallace is the physical embodiment of virtually everything that is wrong with this country. She is, in a word, loathsome.
Carlson argued that the difference between the left and the right, is that the right believes everyone deserves civil liberties without harassment. But media types like Nicolle Wallace "would celebrate" if conservatives were arrested for their political beliefs:
But let's be completely honest, if the federal government ever decided and then declared publicly Nicolle Wallace was a terrorist for her political opinion we would unhesitatingly leap to her defense with a maximum vehemence, we would do it instantly and we wouldn't stop because we believe in civil liberties. Would she do the same for us? Of course not. If the entire staff of this show was arrested tomorrow for our beliefs, Nicolle Wallace would celebrate and that is the difference. We believe in civil liberties, and they don't. How can you tell? Has Nicolle Wallace or anyone else at MSNBC said a single word about the federal government spying on people’s Google searches? That is happening.
"Is it a stretch to think that this could be extended to ideological crimes?" he asked, adding, "It's not a stretch at all because it's happening and no one on television even mentions it."

Tucker Carlson Tonight
10/7/21
CARLSON:A few days ago the Department of Justice under the radical Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the national security division has a new domestic commission. According to Garland, effective immediately the national security division is handling the investigation of "Harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school board members, teachers, workers in our nation's public schools." So the question is, who is threatening these teachers and school board members? Is it Al Qaeda? Is it the Russian government? Is it ISIS-K? No, it is parents. Parents are angry about what is happening in schools.
...
Parents who believe in things like biological sex, who oppose racial hierarchies imposed in pre-kindergarten classrooms, teaching kids to hate their parents, those are the threat, according to the Biden administration. You will notice if you look closely that nowhere in Merrick Garland's recent order or the doj positivist press release is an explanation of these "Threats of violence." What threats of violence? Has violence occurred at school board meetings? No. Look closer and you will find this one, "The justice department will also create specialized training and guidance that will help school board members understand the type of behavior that constitutes threats.” Oh, so it is a propaganda operation funded by you out of the department of so-called justice designed to tell teachers and school board members that when parents complain it is domestic terrorism, not the First amendment in progress, its not your constituents voicing legitimate complaints. It’s effectively a foreign adversary trying to kill you.
