In the face of recent announcements from companies dropping their ads from his show, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson was unfazed by the liberal thought police as he delivered a 17-minute-plus opening monologue Monday night speaking truth to the power of the Black Lives Matter movement. He called out their bullying tactics, manipulation of our moral values, and the brutalization of anyone who even offered mild criticism of the group.
At one point, speaking about the normal rules of our political system, Carlson noted that “Black Lives Matter wants to run the country, therefore, you can freely criticize Black Lives Matter.” “If the leaders of Black Lives Matter are political actors, and they are, then by definition you are allowed to have any opinion you want to have about them,” he said before ominously arguing that the rules had been changed.
“Imagine a world where you are punished for questioning the behavior of the president or for insulting your local mayor. You probably can't imagine that. It's too bizarre. It’s un-American. But that’s where we are right now,” he warned. “You can be fired from your job if you disobey. Many Americans have been.”
And he had evidence, people who had lost their jobs and called racist for offering just mild criticism of the group and their tactics:
On Friday, for example, the principle of a public school in Windsor, Vermont was dismissed from her job for posting the following words on her personal Facebook page. Quote, "While I understand the urgency to feel compelled to advocate for black lives, what about our fellow law enforcement? Just because I don't walk around with a BLM sign, should not mean I'm a racist." End quote.
Unfortunately, the principal's boss disagreed. The superintendent of Windsor schools describe the quote you just heard as, quote, "Outright racist." Windsor, Vermont, by the way, is more than 97 percent white.
Also on Friday, an economist called Harald Uhlig lost his job at the Federal Reserve Bank ok Chicago for daring to offer milder criticism that that. On Twitter, Uhlig noted that Black Lives Matter had, quote, "just torpedoed itself, with its full-fledged supportive #DefundThePolice.” Now is the time, Uhlig, noted, quote, “for sensible adults to enter back into the room and have serious, earnest, respectful conversations about it all.”
That was a racist statement, the Federal Reserve concluded, so they fired Harold Uhlig. We can give you many other examples of the same thing happening. There are a lot of them.
“Black Lives Matter now enjoys almost complete immunity from criticism,” Carlson added.“By the way, that idea forms the basis of the Christian faith. It’s the entire premise behind our founding documents,” he recalled. “And yet, suddenly, thanks to Black Lives Matter, you can no longer say it out loud. Affirming the fundamental equality of all people is now considered hate speech.”
Further noting that we’re in “a dangerous moment” and that BLM’s policy demands had seen a surge in support, Carlson urged: “If you strongly disagree with something, say so. Otherwise, it's much more likely to happen.”
Comment:
Tucker Carlson is unquestionably the most courageous talking head in media at this time. It remains to be seen how courageous Paul Ryan and the Murdoch children are.
Tucker has been on fire recently. Many more in the media should be echoing his monologues, but it is easier to go with the cancel culture and be PC.
We need more voices of reason and sanity to broadcast the news instead of the MSM which is filled with "The Giant Sixth Grade Brain Political Journalists" and the MSM does not even realize this or the MSM has turned communists right before our eyes.
