Tucker Carlson: Obama’s Secret Service detail should lose guns first if he wants gun control [View all]
On Saturdays edition of Fox & Friends, Carlson suggested that the president had used the recent massacre at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston to advance a political agenda against guns.
The president has said a number of times guns are the problem, guns cause violence, Carlson complained. Theres nobody in the world surrounded by more armed people than President Obama himself. I notice hes not suggesting the people around him disarm. He wants to remain protected, but the rest of us have to go without means to self-protection.
Left-leaning Fox News contributor Jehmu Greene found Carlsons remarks offense.
To say that the president of the United States is hypocritical because he has people with guns around him, Tucker, that is beneath this discussion, Green explained. You are trying to compared Secret Service armed people to someone who walks into a church and kills nine people.
And to say the president doesnt have a right to talk about gun control because people with him have guns? she continued. Is that literally where we are as a country, to compare that he shouldnt have protection?
