Fox News' Tucker Carlson sounded off on Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Thursday night and accused her of engaging in a "weird arbitrary fascism."
"When the coronavirus hit Michigan in force last month, Whitmer had no clue what to do. So, she responded with a mixture of comical ineptitude and a weird kind of arbitrary fascism," Carlson said. "She banned the sale of carpets and paint and potted plants. She told people they couldn't fish or go to church or drive alone to their own homes. But at the same time Whitmer kept liquor stores, weed shops lotto kiosks open because, this was purely an epidemiological matter in the interest of the public health, those were 'essential services.'"
"They also happen to provide massive tax revenue to her government," he continued. "The whole thing was ridiculous. It was just a matter of time before the people suffering under this insanity said something about it."
And that's what this is all about: keeping the tax stream flowing while infringing on basic liberties of Michigan residents.
Tucker: If there's one thing Gov. Whitmer doesn't like, it's civil disobedience
Whitmer was protested this week for her ridiculous stay-at-home order, which includes a ban on people buying seeds to grow their own food.
She appears to have consulted with some Teaching Assistants from Ann Arbor to craft her policy.
Fascism is on the ballot this fall. Our civil liberties are on the ballot this fall. The Democrats are Nazis without the armbands. The best thing about this crisis is that the head of the snake has been revealed.
Come on now, She’s a Democrat, are we going to blame dogs for acting like dogs now??
I think it is simple as looking at Democrat priorities.
Working on your lawn or house? No, Democrats are either rich and have servants do that or live in government housing.
Synagogue or church? Silliness!
Abortion? MUST HAVE. Moloch is a hungry one.
Need a quart of malt liquor or a fine white wine? MANDATORY.
Ms. Whitmer maybe visited weed shops and bought all their inventory now sits around totally stoned.
Whitmer has the look of someone with some serious character disorder issues going on. She has the look of someone who has an inability to empathize and a need to control others.
If the police were real Americans they would tell her to enforce the rules herself.
“She has the look of someone who has an inability to empathize and a need to control others.”
Typical democrat..a sociopath.
Why does her face always look so greasy, like she’s been bobbing for bacon in a barrel of pig fat?
It is amazing how none of these State Police Officers question the orders from this out of control Governor. They have no problem arresting their law abiding friends and neighbors.
Cruella de Vil
Four sheriffs in Michigan told her they would not enforce her un constitutional orders. Actually.
Civil disobedience should be the only new norm to come from this hoaxdemic
Tucker absolutely knocked it out of the park last night, I hope everyone gets a chance to see his segment.
This ho bag bitch is one of them
The bleach blond kept talking about Confederate and Nazi Flags.
I saw no Confederate Flags and the only thing resembling Nazi materials related to her fascist behavior — e.g., a Jewish man holding a sign saying “Even Pharaoh released the Slaves During an Pandemic”
The Taste of Power the Left never had
