I now I know WHO CARES but people see this crap and it resonates. The part about the “FBI informant” refers to Thomas Caldwell and takes more of an explanation.
Anyway here’s this....


Tucker Carlson Goes Full Conspiracy Theorist, Ties Insurrection to George Floyd’s Death




Claiming he wasn’t “going to speculate” what this all means, the far-right Fox News star did just that—and he took a giant leap to do so, bizarrely tying the insurrection to Floyd and the racial justice movement sparked by his death at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer.

“The question is why would they lie about this?” Carlson rhetorically asked. “For an answer think back to last spring. Beginning on Memorial Day, BLM and their sponsors in corporate America completely changed this country. They changed this country more in five months than it had changed in the previous 50 years.”

He continued: “How did they do that? They used the sad death of a man called George Floyd to up-end our society. Months later, we learned that the story they told us about George Floyd's death was an utter lie.”

Insisting there “was no physical evidence that George Floyd was murdered” by Officer Derek Chauvin, who has been charged with second-degree murder, Carlson added that “the autopsy showed that George Floyd almost certainly died of a drug overdose, fentanyl.”

1. Yes, desperate for a distraction

I always try to spend a few minutes watching Fox News to see what they are talking about. “Desperate distraction” was also my thought. I believe no autopsy has actually concluded that the cause of death was fentanyl. The fact that Tucker didn’t even mention that makes it clear that he is not interested in being objective. It’s sad that so many people will watch his show and never get the full story.

2. I've been flipping over there as well as listening to talk radio

Fox seems mostly to be trans sports, the National Anthem, and CHINA.

Right wingers have almost no idea that an Impeachment trial is even going on.

3. Come on, man...everyone knows George Floyd is still alive, hiding out at Mar-a-Lago with

Breonna Taylor. Jeffrey Epstein and Jamal Khashoggi are there, too.
