Tucker Carlson: The riots are not about George Floyd or racial justice. They're about Trump and seizing power
Fox News ^ | June 05 2020 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 06/05/2020 10:03:01 AM PDT by knighthawk

For the past week, all of us have seen chaos engulf our beloved country. The violence and the destruction have been so overwhelming, so shocking, and awful and vivid on the screen, that it's been hard to think clearly about what's going on.

Most of us haven't been able to step back far enough to ask even the obvious questions. The most obvious, of course, is what is this really about? What do the mobs want?

Well, thugs looting the Apple Store can't answer that question. They have no idea. They just want free iPads. But what about Apple itself and the rest of corporate America, which is enthusiastically supporting the rioters? What about members of Congress, the media figures, the celebrities, the tech titans, all of whom are cheering this on. What do they want out of it?

I have come to view him as a dipstick, but without even seeing it...he is right on this.

Criminal, leftist democrats mean it when they say ‘never let a crisis go to waste’. They are executing an insurgency against the United States to gain total power over all US citizens.

We must not let this happen.

They want to look good and be “on the right side” of this issue so that once this all goes away, and then next time it comes back, they can say “I called for blah blah blah, when George Floyd was killed....

What do the mobs want?

Most of us dead, the rest in chains.

Tucker Carlson has been anything but a “dipstick” this week. Treat yourself to a few of his recent commentaries ... particularly the ones from Tuesday and last night ... their content and impassioned delivery are worthy of your consideration. Cheers!

“That’s the nub of it. The most privileged are using the most desperate to seize power from the rest of us.”

Too true, to the point where it’s ludicrous. A
I saw a crowd of clearly not starving, almost all white young people getting ready for their protest in Denver yesterday afternoon....and they were screaming “We have nothing to lose but our chains!”

Gimme a break! These privileged white brats, hiding behind media manipulated and ignorant blacks, could actually scream this communist slogan with a straight face.

I am aware. If there were four times a day that the clock hands registered the same time in 24 hours, I would say he is a clock that is right four times a day instead of the twice a day we allude to some others.

I commend him for speaking up.

I detest his style. He reminds me of Bill O’Reilly, who was and is an even bigger blowhard. But that’s me, your views may vary.

yes. but these efforts at undermining our Republic are misfires. the more violence, disruption, and terrorism in our streets— the more Americans get disgusted ... and the more rally to defending us all (and themselves, and their families) against the SorozNazi type street thugs.
Result is more and more support for those politicians that stand up to, arrest, defeat the dangerous hooligans. PDJT gets more support, too, as he is pointing out how some politicians are actually promoting or encouraging or enabling or applauding the gangs/mobs. Trump gains votes as people see some local Democrat party politicians doing precisely the wrong thing and kissing the rioters’ anatomies

And by the way-just because I dislike his style, it doesn’t mean I think he is a bad person, is anti-Trump, or anything else. I simply dislike his style.

For the record, I don’t watch television at all, and what I know of him is from reading transcripts or watching video excerpts of the five minute variety.

Fair enough. I just thought his commentaries this week were particularly insightful and passionate and thought them worthy of recommended watching. Cheers!

I made the same points on the local radio show two days ago.

I was up to date on them, and had read them. I understand how it is....

Thanks.
