Tucker Warns Fox Viewers That the Black Lives Matter 'Mob' Will 'Come for You'

Source: The Daily Beast

Fox News host Tucker Carlson raged against the social justice movement Black Lives Matter on Monday night, claiming that the movement for racial justice and fair policing was “definitely not about black lives” while warning his viewers to “remember that when they come for you.”

Carlson, who has been highly critical of the protests over George Floyd’s death while claiming systemic racism is nonexistent, began Monday’s broadcast of his primetime show by railing against calls for defunding the police. Calling the protests the “Black Lives Matter Riots,” the Fox star claimed liberals didn’t want to abolish the police but instead planned on replacing law enforcement with an armed “woke militia” to patrol cities.

“Imagine if the Black Lives Matter rioters had weapons and immunity from prosecution,” Carlson dramatically exclaimed. “That’s what they are talking about. Partisan law enforcement, and partisan law enforcement, incidentally, is hardly without precedent. In fact, it’s the rule in the Third World. This is an attempt to bring it here.”

From there, Carlson continued to fear-monger over Black Lives Matter and the “finance moguls” who are funding the movement before expressing concern that Republicans weren’t doing enough to stop Democrats and the social justice movement.

In fact, the combination of the blue-striped shirt and the orange/purple polka-dotted tie framed by the black suit coat is quite attractive and stylish.

However, that melon above the clothes is full of shit.

What he cares about is his own self interest in becoming a hero to the right wing in America. That might include the money, but from what I understand he doesn't need it. With others, it definitely does. He is probably smart enough to understand that what he is doing is enlarging the divide between the Republican Party and the rest of society. At this point, I believe that these sociopaths like Limbaugh, Hannity and Ingrahm are helping us.

If you believe you are entitled and privileged because your skin color originates from northern Europe, if you believe that to keep your position in society you need to put 'them others' down, that POC aren't as good as you . . . be afraid, very afraid.

They have come to destroy your value system, the one you built up over decades in your youth, to deconstruct and make you question everything you believe in and base your life on.

And then where are you? Needing to admit you got it wrong all this time, and rebuild your value system, one where you are nothing special, not superior to others.

Best to listen to Fox, support your local vicious head basher cops, and keep things as they are.

/major sarcasm intended.

"Partisan law enforcement"?

“Imagine if the Black Lives Matter rioters had weapons and immunity from prosecution,” Carlson dramatically exclaimed.

Okay. First, he's ignoring how many of the "rioters" were disguised pigs, pigs practicing kettling, and right-wankers looking to trigger their precious race war. He's not doing that unintentionally.

Second, imagine pigs had weapons and immunity from prosecution. OH WAIT, I AIN'T GOTTA IMAGINE SHIT, THAT WAS LAST WEEK. WE ALREADY ARE THAT SHITHOLE COUNTRY YOU'RE FARTING ABOUT, TUCKLES.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a mob come for you, Tucklefucks.

Recently he was IMHO wrongly featured in one of the better Fly Tying magazines published in the U.S.

For the last 10 years, I have been an avid reader and subscriber to the magazine.

When he was featured in the Winter 2019 edition I wrote to complain that he was not just a regular guy who ties flies.

He has demonstrated through his daily show on FOX that he is a racist who like Trump incites hatred and fear with his language. He is clearly part of the problem certainly not part of a solution.

We need to call him and others like him out every chance we get. We also need to call out those that support his agenda.

I will not renew my subscription when it expires.

He continues his rants https://tinyurl.com/yb75bwdh

Guy was being very upfront about it for the most part. The "financial mogul" thing might have been a dog whistle, but the rest of it was trumpet's ablarin'.

And, as Yavin4 pointed out, we already have a system with armed men who aren't being held accountable. They're called cops.
