Conservative podcaster and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has accused the Trump administration of using Charlie Kirk’s death to trample on the First Amendment, a concern that has been raised by many on the left.

The outspoken right-wing voice said that Kirk was a “free speech champion” and he hoped that his murder wouldn’t be used as “leverage” to bring in hate speech laws in the U.S. following the administration’s threats to take action against critics of the Turning Point USA founder.

“You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of his murder won't be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country,” Carlson said Wednesday during a special edition of The Tucker Carlson Show in tribute to Kirk.

“And trust me, if it is, if that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever. And there never will be,” the pundit added. “Because if they can tell you what to say, they're telling you what to think...There is nothing they can't do to you because they don't consider you human.”

The longtime former Fox News host did not target President Donald Trump personally in his opening monologue, but went after Attorney General Pam Bondi for comments she made Monday that sparked fierce backlash from both the right and the left.

What the hell? Little Tuck Tuck is pissed off about this.

Let's see if they try to cancel him next.

What laws have been passed to monitor your speech and shut your mouth since Kirks death?

Passing laws and corporate decisions are two completely different things. No laws have been passed since Kirk died that restrict speech. Glen Beck lost his job because of speech when Obama was President. Did you ButtsforObama whine?
Kimmel was hemorrhaging viewers, and still is. He won't last too much longer...

Federal agencies threaten, discipline employees for criticizing or mocking Charlie Kirk​

The Trump administration is “tracking…very closely” social media posts suggesting Kirk should not be mourned, some agencies say.​

Schools and private companies have the right to fire employees if their actions are considered egregious. So do federal agencies. They should be expected to follow a certain decorum. And Trump is doubling down on the, if you see something, say something, approach to try to find the person before they kill someone. The scrutiny may not be needed forever, but for these turbulent times may be necessary.

 

[initforme]

So black killing white not hate crime, any white shooting a black for any reason, hate crime. Speech is still free, but being held accountable by your employer is going to happen, especially if it puts the company in a bad light with consumers, and could cost them money!

So one cannot comment on their employer? Wow oh wow.

So now you are switching it up. How many folks lost their jobs when the right made fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked? How about all the jokes we heard when Floyd was murdered? Don't recall any declarations like that being made.

 

[The Irish Ram]

I'm not switching up anything. I don't recall gleefully posting about Pelosi or Floyd. Desperate times call for desperate measures. After trying to kill the President twice and killing Charlie Kirk calls for measures beyond the norm.

Fox News co-host's quip about Paul Pelosi sparks fury: "Sickening"

Rachel Campos-Duffy was criticized on social media for making a joke about Paul Pelosi's October 2022 assault.

Trump said he would “stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi“ if reelected president, asking a crowd of supporters, “How’s her husband doing by the way?” and saying a “wall around her house” didn’t do a “good job” of protecting her 82-year-old husband from an intruder who fractured his skull with a hammer during a break-in last year—prompting laughter from the crowd.

Republicans Are Literally Laughing at the Pelosi Attack

The violent attack left Paul Pelosi with a skull fracture. Republicans somehow find that funny.

On Social media?, causing an issue for the company, I suppose not if the company is seen in a bad light, and then they then are fired!

In his crusade to shape MAGA’s isolationist future, Carlson has launched a campaign to define Charlie Kirk’s legacy. While stopping short of claiming that Jews killed Kirk, he alleged that pro-Israel donors “tormented” him in his final days—casting Kirk as a martyr broken for daring to question the Gaza war and Netanyahu’s leadership. In Carlson’s revisionist gospel, Kirk becomes a tortured saint in the church of America First, martyred by a vengeful elite just as he was turning against Israel. The stakes are immense: Kirk commanded a vast following, and the struggle for MAGA’s soul is also a struggle for those loyalists. Yet the record tells a very different story. Kirk’s final letter to Netanyahu brimmed with affection for Israel and the Jewish people, faulting only the combative tactics of some allies and insisting that the surest antidote to anti-Israel fervor lay in vigorous, open debate.

The antisemitism of left and right is not a noxious gas seeping out of the soil and wafting into politics. It is being weaponized—cleverly and deliberately—by organized forces for political warfare. Progressives festoon their bigotry with banners of diversity, equity, and inclusion, demanding Jews disown Israel. Meanwhile, Carlson updates the Protocolsto paint Jews as the hidden hand behind the empire, insisting the covenant be cut so American patriots can smash unelected concentrations of global power.

Despite the hostility between transnational progressives and Carlson’s brand of conservative populism, both camps favor accommodation with Iran, about which they make almost identical arguments. By casting rapprochement with Tehran as both necessary and attainable, they recast Israel as the source of America’s troubles. For progressives, Israel blocks harmony among nations; for Carlson, it ensnares America in needless wars.

The ‘Jews’ Are a Proxy for a Far Bigger Political Fight

Progressives festoon their bigotry with banners of diversity, demanding Jews disown Israel. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson updates the Protocols to paint Jews as the hidden hand behind global power, writes Michael Doran.
