In the past few days, Tucker Carlson presented facts about occurrences on January 6th, 2021, in and around the Capitol building that debunked the spurious Democrat narrative of a ‘deadly insurrection’ by Trump supporters.
The ‘deadly insurrection’ claim was and is being used to
target civilians and subject them to draconian punishment when the severest
punishment they actually deserved for their actions on January 6th was a small
fine or community service.
Biden's
DOJ says over 1,000
people have been arrested for the 'insurrection'. Most of them were charged
with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building.
More
than 300 were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or
employees. More than 100 were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon
or causing serious bodily injury to a police officer.
They
are hoping that these draconian punishments serve as a warning and deterrent
against any further demonstrations or protests in favor of President Trump.
This
'insurrection' narrative is being used to brand others dissenting citizens as
domestic terrorists or violent White nationalists and target them.
The
goal is to outlaw political opposition.
The
‘insurrection’ claim was, is, and will be used to target President Trump.
They
will place impediments to Trump’s campaign for 2024 and hope they can end it.
All through the campaign and during the debates the narrative will be used to
force Trump to place him on the defensive. The narrative will be used to
possibly indict Trump in the hope that voters are turned off by the drama.
When
Trump wins again in 2024, they will use the narrative as an excuse to limit his
power and authority as President. If the Democrats retake the House in 2024, there
could be another January 6th probe that could hang like a sword over the second
Trump Presidency.
The
Biden presidency has been a total catastrophe and the Democrats know it.
Biden’s
misgovernance has caused an uncontrolled influx of illegal aliens,
record-breaking inflation, a fragile economy, a crime wave, and unprecedented
violations of seemingly inviolable norms in conduct and practice.
Globally
Biden has weakened the US due to his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
It doubtlessly emboldened Putin to intervene in Ukraine. The war continues to
rage and Biden has dispatched over $111 billion with the approval of both
Republicans and Democrats.
Exploiting
voters’ fear about peddling the ‘insurrection’ narrative and claiming Trump will
be a dictator is the only way the Democrats can secure votes.
This
is why the Democrats and establishment Republicans are demanding that Rupert
Murdoch and Fox News prevent Carlson from airing further episodes on the
January 6 footage and that Carlson be sacked.
If
facts were on their side they would not have restricted access to 40,000 hours
of security camera footage from the Capitol Building.
If
facts were on their side, footage of Officer Sicknick being bludgeoned to death
by Trump supporters and footage of the QAnon Shaman being violent or
destructive would have been played on every mainstream news channel.
Biden’s
DOJ is claiming that about 140 police officers were assaulted that day. If
that was true, footage of Trump supporters beating up policemen would have been
made released.
The
incriminating footage would also have been used during the January 6th show
trial.
If
facts were on their side, someone among those demanding Tucker’s sacking would
have appeared on his program and demonstrated how his claims are false.
But
nothing of the kind occurred.
Since
they cannot counter Carlson on facts,
They
are merely demanding that Carlson be shut down so that their disinformation
campaign is unconditionally believed.
Tucker
is now a target
A
series of private text messages allegedly from Carlson was released by Dominion
Voting Systems as part of their $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News.
In
a text message on January 4, 2021, Carlson allegedly expressed an intense
dislike for President Trump and claims to be “close to being able to ignore
Trump most nights”
Carlson
allegedly made disparaging
claims about the Trump Presidency overall.
In
another text exchange, Carlson allegedly agreed with Trump that there was fraud
in the 2020 elections, but added Trump and the lawyers
who allied themselves with him — Lin Wood and Sidney
Powell — had "discredited their
own case."
So
what do we make of these texts?
Is
this a case of dual standards?
Not
exactly!
Unlike
Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or others,
Carlson
has on various occasions branded Trump as a buffoon and even vulgar. and has
been critical of the Trump Presidency on various occasions.
So
his anti-Trump texts are not a surprise.
Carlson
is undeniably a supporter of the causes that Trump stands for. He has openly
acknowledged that Trump's questions challenging the purpose of NATO after the
cold war, opened his eyes.
There
are many such Trump supporters who don't always support Trump’s statements or
humor but support the MAGA agenda and the fact that Trump is a rare Republican
who gives it as good as he gets.
What
about Carlson’s texts on Trump’s lawyers had "discredited their own case?”
On
November 19, 2020, Carlson grilled Sidney Powell regarding her claims on his show
and by November 22, 2020, the Trump team had
cut ties with Powell.
Beyond
the specifics of the text, we must understand that text messages or chats
are informal and cannot always be regarded as personal verdicts about any
issue.
People
often vent out with friends via text messages or chat, it could also be exaggerations
in jest and visceral reactions emanating from frustration or anger.
The release
of these texts must be seen as a violation of Carlson’s privacy.
The
goal behind the amplification of these texts is to give the impression that the
claim Carlson is a conman doesn’t really believe the claims he is making on his
show, he just doing it for ratings or financial gain, or political clout.
If
fame, financial gain, or clout was all that Carlson cared for, he is smart
enough to know that claiming to be liberal and defending the Democrat
groupthink is much safer and lucrative.
But
instead, he is challenging the groupthink for which he has become a
target.
It
will not be wrong to assume that various government agencies are scouring
through Carlson’s past.
Perhaps
they scrutinize Carlson’s financial records and find some
impropriety. Perhaps his personal behavior is examined – if he has lost his
temper with a colleague or if he has told a slightly off-color joke to a female
colleague, it will all be made public. They could claim any or all varieties of
bigotry.
Perhaps
they find a jealous former colleague or a disgruntled former subordinate
who not only sings but composes for the right price.
The
goal will be to force Carlson out.
They
successfully managed to force Bill O’Reilly and Eric Bolling from Fox News.
They tried to do the same with Sean Hannity but failed.
They
tried it before
with Carlson but failed, they could try it again.
This
once again is a reminder of how far the nation has moved from what the founding
fathers had envisioned.
