Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized federal law enforcement for allowing rioters and those who topple monuments to go free while sending 15 agents to investigate the “absurd” story of a noose supposedly found in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage.
After days of wall-to-wall media coverage and nationwide sympathy for Wallace over the incident, the FBI concluded Tuesday that the noose had been in the Talladega Superspeedway garage stall since October 2019 and that no federal hate crime had been committed.
“Every few months, there appears to be new hysteria over nooses discovered somewhere off in a public place and almost inevitably, the hate crime we are warned about turns out to be fake,” Carlson said on Tuesday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “The story has been told again and again and again, but our authorities never learn the obvious lesson, this isn’t a very racist country. Sorry Democratic Party.”
The Fox News host criticized the overreaction to the initial story, which came with scant actual evidence, from politicians like former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former ESPN host Jemele Hill, who “used the incident to tar millions of NASCAR fans as racist.”
“From the beginning, there were a few who expressed public skepticism,” he continued. “Bubba Wallace, who never produced pictures of the noose, had a message for anyone who questioned his story. They were stupid and they were racist.”
After playing a clip of Wallace criticizing those who questioned the story, Carlson turned his attention to federal agents and their priorities.
“The FBI bought the story completely,” he said. “They’ve done nothing to arrest the people who are burning police stations or tearing down monuments of George Washington, but the FBI sent 15 agents to Alabama to investigate the noose

Tucker nails it. Again.
1. The 15 agents were probably the entire staff of the Alabama field office of the FBI.
2. They were all assigned to work on this case because they have nothing else to do. There probably hasn't been a Federal crime committed in Alabama since (Democrat) George Wallace kicked the bucket.
#MAGA.
Got to have priorities./sarc
I said the same thing to the wife.
The FBI won’t roll up the money/logistics network of these roving, trained terrorists, but send 15 agents to investigate a pull-down loop on a garage door?
Meanwhile 104 people were shot in Chicago last weekend and 2 children died,
But garage pull aka noose = hate crime
15 FBI agents.
Why on earth would so much time and effort be put into something so obviously a hoax? There have been dozens of “noose” hoaxes over the last several years and no one is ever punished for filing false police reports or even shamed over their attention-getting stunt.
Back in the 1990s Clinton sent a dozen FBI agents to investigate a Confederate flag put on top of a radio station in Mississippi. Their “investigation” lasted over a week and they concluded that it was an “inside job”, but they didn’t figure out who the culpret was.
Just repeats a theme, if it involves politics they like, the FBI jumps in with both feet.
Has anyone seen a photo of this noose? Funny I don’t recall seeing one either.
The government can find the time and manpower to send in a battalion of agents with armored vehicles to raid a leased compound looking for possible illegal weapons in Texas (Waco), but they cannot find the time to send in a contingent of agents to arrest a group that has taken over a few city blocks and declared them selves separate from the US.
What would you do if you were one of the other drivers?
Since Bubba essentially called EVER DRIVER and it’s Crew RACISTS, created a FAKE HOAX Investigation and Tarnished the careers of ALL Drivers in NASCAR.
I know NASCAR will do NOTHING at all about this and if I was a Driver I would be pissed and would not want him anywhere near the track.
I would enccurage EVERY Driver in the next race to Start trhe race normally6 and at the end of the first lap Every Driver should pull into Pit Row and SHUT THEIR CARS OFF AND GET OUT.
LET BUBBA RACE HIMSELF!!!
This crap is like the Salem witch trials.
It also put a dagger in the “hidden racists in NASCAR” narrative. Made Bubba and NASCAR look ridiculous and completely trashed their attempt at virtue signaling. With 15 FBI agents, it is impossible to allege that there wasn’t a serious effort to find and prosecute an alleged “perpetrator”.
15 agents rolling in talking to high priced drivers and their crew had to be making some people sweat
There will definitely be resentment towards this fool.
NASCAR probably didnt realize they would get so many agent
there are some real hot heads in Nascar
Bubba wallace is one of them and lost a sponsor because of it
Sounds like the FBI is overstaffed. #DefundtheFBI
Why would they arrest them? Let people see who these idiots are. Besides, that is what Seattle voted for.
I don’t believe it was a hoax. I saw photos of Bubba’s garage and adjoining garages. They all had this “noose” hanging from the inside door handle. When you raise the door up and it’s near the ceiling, for some people the handle is out of reach. Hence a handy “noose” hanging down for convenience. Duh!
Yes, there is definitely a religious fervor involved in detecting, investigating, and then punishing racists, even when there is no evidence supporting the claim or accusation.
The videos of hysterically angry white people cursing black police officers are even more proof of how unhinged these vicious little Marxists have become.
Peach
If someone did leave a piece of rope fashioned into a noose, what possible federal crime was committed?
Did Bubba milk the victim card?
