Tucker Carlson: FBI Won’t Arrest Rioters, But Sent 15 Agents To Investigate ‘Absurd’ Bubba Wallace Noose Story
Daily Caller ^ | 06/23/20 | Scott Morefield

Posted on 06/24/2020 5:43:47 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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

#MAGA.!!!

Ha, yeah....they were 15 of these guys sitting...begging for just one juicy investigation, and this noose thing came up. They all jumped into their black SUVs, and stayed at the Best Western over at Talledega. After interviewing two dozen people, and eating dinner....they probably wised-up and realized that you can’t make a 17-page report out of this.

FBI-dude Marvin then sat at the pool the next morning...writing a 2-page summary, and did his best to delay their drive back to the office until the next day. All of them were given honorary NASCAR hats as they left town.

“This crap is like the Salem witch trials.”

It is worse; much, much worse. At least at Salem the PTB finally said “Oh, f**k! Did we ever get this wrong!” With this Antifa and BLM and Democrat bunch (but I repeat myself), repentance is not only alien, it is not a reality.

:: Did Bubba milk the victim card? ::

Nope.
He did as the NASCAR owners told him to.

I thought I saw pictures of the other garage doors at Telladaga and they also had a ‘noose’ door pull like that hanging down. Did anyone else see that?

That photo is from 2019 not the recent race in 2020. It is
the door pull down rope as they don’t have electric doors.

Here's the rest of the story

Bubba Wallace loses sponsorship after rage-quitting during NASCAR iRacing event:

This was nothing but a preemptive strike to prevent more sponsors from pulling their sponsorship for fear of being called racists.

I know that. That is the same stall that Bubba used? And the point was that the rope (fake noose) been there for that that long and no one knew what stall he would be assigned. Also, that is the actual noose he cut down?

Where is the photo of the noose? Was it actually a noose? I did a search, thinking I would see the actual noose. This is all I found:

Chris Wray needs to be fired immediately for incompetence.

Sending 15 FBI agents to check out a car garage is beyond bureaucratic negligence.

The FBI is ANTIFA. Same as during the inauguration. They haven’t changed, never will. Trump has zero control over them. Trump failed to establish his Administration.

Maybe it’s just me, but Bubba Wallace bears a close, physical resemblance to Juicy Smollet.

I worked for the DOJ in Alabama and a few times WITH the FBI... trust me, they have more to do than go after this lunacy.
