I'm watching Fox to see what these jackasses have to say...

Last edited Tue Apr 20, 2021, 10:36 PM - Edit history (1)

Tucker Carlson had several guests on.
All but one made excuses for the cops, and slammed the Chauvin verdict.

The one exception was a REAL police chief, and he stated the actual facts about how Chauvin totally botched the arrest of George Floyd, Carlson cut him off in mid-sentence. Naturally.

Update, Carlson's tantrum can be seen here:

Oh for Christ's sake, he has on right now Glenn Beck.

Will update as to what Hannity has to say.

Update: Hannity blathered the usual.
Turned the MF'er off.

Falsely equating damage done last summer to the murder of a human being. They are really showing their true colors on this as are people on Facebook

twice. One asshole was bashing the verdict, I looked in again later and he had a black woman who appeared to be mid-20s doing her best to smear George Floyd.

They are scum of the earth.

We saw a clear murder, the verdicts were just and deserved. He should rot in prison, and Fucker Carlson and the guests I saw should rot right next to him.

She's a Trump-can-do-no-wrong asshole, and she said once that what Hitler did in Germany was ok, until he started invading other countries.

And she has YET to even acknowledge that she said that.
Much less apologize or disavow this.

... racism in America.

Butt Hume even went so far to say "there will be a backlash" against people fighting for equality

masquerading as a news network. Some of their viewers actually think they're a news network. Can you imagine that?

Tucker Carlson had a complete meltdown tonight in response to a former New York corrections officer who criticized Derek Chauvin for using excessive force on George Floyd. Here's how the interview (abruptly) ended.

why can't Fox News see that they can be "pro-cop" and STILL think that what Chauvin did was wrong, wrong, WRONG
I think it is because they know they'd lose a lot of their racist base of viewers
