Tucker Warns: Do Not Ignore Why Yesterday Happened
TownHall ^ | 1/7/2021 | Katie Pavelich

Posted on 01/07/2021 11:27:39 AM PST by Onthebrink

Fox News host and longtime journalist Tucker Carlson is roundly condemning violence at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, but warns the reason behind what happened should not be ignored.

"Political violence begets political violence. That is always true. It is an iron law, it never changes and we have to be against that. No matter who commits the violence or under what pretext. No matter how many self interested demagogues tell us the violence is justified or necessary as they have been assuring us, lying to us, for the past six months. We have a duty to oppose all of it. Not simply because political violence kills other people's children, which it does, but because in the end it doesn't work," Carlson said. "Our only option as a practical matter is to fix what is causing this in the first place. We don't have a choice."

Violence, in the end, is always the answer.

For all the WWII buffs, Yesterday was the attack on Poland on September 1st, 1939.

We’re now in what was called the “phony war”.

https://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/world-war-two/world-war-two-in-western-europe/the-phoney-war/#:~:text=’Phoney%20War’%20is%20the%20name,September%201939%2C%20seemingly%20nothing%20happened.

That gives one a perspective on where we are right now. to say it’s not over is a gross understatement. We are simply at the end of the beginning.

When one side is cut out of participation in politics, violence is usually the end result.

The Republicans were September 17th.

Yes violence begets violence - this is the beginning of the blowback from leftist summer riots and the blatant election fraud we’ve all witnessed backed by the oligarchs and the communists. Because all avenues of redress have been coopted this will be the only way to retake our government.

He wants to outlaw the Dem party and corrupt media?

Fox News helped bring on the mess were in, starting with Chris Wallace’s ambush of Trump at the debate

Please stop watching Fox News, including Tucker. Watching the conservatives at night helps pay the salaries of the daytime liberals

Stop. Just stop. Please stop

I guess we should dismantle our military, which has a habit of using violence.

I’m so done with anything reported by fox news!

Bottom line is, had November 3’rd been allowed to materialize without corruption, it would have been the end of the democrat party and ultimatly the end of the swamp. However, corruption ruled the dark of night and the rats jumped ship and now we are witnessing a one party dictatorship.

So long Tucker. I blocked fox news the night of the election and never looked back. I’m quite content with OAN.

The republicans in congress don't want to hear it. They want Biden and his fraud votes. How do you fix anything when the voters have their voice taken away?

And yet by all appearances, we lost ground yesterday.

Another poor overpaid fool who thinks you can vote your way out of socialism.

“No matter how many self interested demagogues tell us the violence is justified or necessary as they have been assuring us, lying to us, for the past six months. We have a duty to oppose all of it.”

If we were in the Revolutionary War period, why do I get the feeling that Tucker would be one of those Americans who sided with King George’s effort to keep peace and order?
