Tucker Carlson slams NYC leaders for 'endangering' public in early stages of coronavirus pandemic
Fox News ^ | March 26 2020 | Victor Garcia

Posted on 03/27/2020 12:27:03 AM PDT by knighthawk

Tucker Carlson focused the top of his Thursday show on New York City's battle with the coronavirus, ripping city officials for increasing the "risk" for citizens and not taking the outbreak seriously in its early stages.

"As this deadly virus emerged from eastern China and began to spread inexorably across the globe, clearly headed here, leaders in New York not only failed to shield their citizens from it, they took affirmative and aggressive steps to increase the risk to their population," Carlson said.

"Why would they do that? Well, because they were worried far more about being called racist than protecting human lives. That's not an overstatement. That's not hyperbole."

NYC shoulda shut down the Subways.

It’s just proof that Agenda 21 is unsustainable.

Democrats are nothing but America haters, traitors & turncoats. POTUS Trump smelled a Chinese (PRC) rat quickly and closed the West coast down to foreign travelers and...then less then a month later our great POTUS shutdown the East coast, Mexico & Canada to foreign entry!!! Sniffed a biological war coming from the PRC (China). Trumpie saved thousands of American lives and probably saved the country!!! God bless POTUS, Trump!!! The Chinese communist leaders could care less about killing a million or two million of their own people to contaminate the rest of the world...if they could destroy the world economy to their advantage!!!

I hope I am dead wrong....but...we shall see as time rolls by!!! Yep...Americans...you all vote Democrat and kill yourselves and your country...too!!! Wise up...American fools!!!

Carlson criticized New York City health commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot, among others, who dismissed the incoming threat of the coronavirus in February.

“The risk to New Yorkers from coronavirus is low and ... our preparedness as a city is very high,” Barbot said at a Feb. 2 press conference supporting the Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and Festival. “There is no reason not to take the subway, not to take a bus, not to go out to your favorite restaurant and certainly not to miss the parade next Sunday [Feb. 9].”

That did age well.

The subway system has lots of stainless steel flat surfaces that would collect virus laden cough and sneeze droplets. The subway was a central place for the virus to spread.

Also the irresponsibility of many of its residence. Even after the delay of school closings, when they were finally ordered to close people paid no attention, case in point: large park and playground across the street from a friends business just last week. The park was packed with parents and their children playing

It was a well prepared, well executed expose we may never see again.
Brutal. It will be in the history books.

Saw it on YouTube.

Tucker did an outstanding job of showing how NYC encouraged the spread of the pandemic by word and deed. It was devastating.

I would like to see a show trial. Put DeBlasio on trial for mass murder.

Not necessarily.

It's much easier to cull the herd when they're all gathered in one corral.

The subways are practically empty. I took a train more than two weeks ago, my last. Had to go to the office to retrieve materials to work from home. Few people on the platform. The train had one stop and when the door opened, I saw a rate larger than a cat scurrying across the platform at 9:30 in the morning. That’s how empty it is. Rats felt it was safe to come out and search for food.

That’s what I thought. Are the subways shut down now?

“Yep...Americans...you all vote Democrat and kill yourselves and your country...too!!!”

We have millions of third world immigrants that have moved here that vote for socialism every time. They come from cultures where you grab everything you can for your clan and that’s what they’re doing.

Not to mention a relatively small capsule where a single sneeze can be held with half a carload of people.

The driving force of this though, appears to have been MetroNorth where people often spend a half-hour to a couple of hours in a slightly larger capsule, and Grand Central Station.

Well, at least it wasn’t as big as a car.
