Axios captured some of the key quotes from President Donald Trumps Independence Day speech at Mount Rushmore on Saturday and compared it to the monologues from Fox News host Tucker Carlson over the past week.
During the 2016 campaign, Trumps team dealt with at least three cases of plagiarism, including the most egregious, the Republican National Convention speech given by Melania Trump, which quoted word-for-word first lady Michelle Obamas speech. While the weekend speech wasnt quite as bad as that, it certainly borrowed some themes from Carlson.
July 1, Carlson said. For more than a month, mobs of violent crazy people have roamed this country, terrorizing citizens and destroying things. No one has stopped them from doing that, so theyve continued and theyve become stronger.
Its remarkably similar to Trumps claim on Saturday, Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.
That same evening, Carlson said, The education cartel, enforced on your children, enforces their demands.
Trump similarly spoke to what he called fascism in American places.
In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance, Trump claimed, without giving any evidence or examples.
