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

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

How many times has Bubba opened and closed his door with the rope handle before he noticed the manufacturer really put a Noose there instead ,LOL

And the FBI didn’t even “solve” the case - conservative bloggers did.

So what about the 99% good ones that Hannity takes about?

It seems that there may only be 1% good ones these days. The priorities of the FBI are not in accordance with the good of the country. There needs to be a major reset of that organization that purges and punishes those that do not put the laws of the country first.

The FBI descended into the abyss after J. Edgar Hoover died in 1972.

Glad the FBI was able to clear this up in record time. Fifteen agents to investigate a garage door pull-rope while 6 blocks in downtown Seattle are under siege and have been for a couple of weeks now.

Tucker nails it. Again.

I haven't missed a Tucker opening piece for a long time and it seems like every one for the past month has been even better than the one the night before. I've made a practice of finding a link for them the following morning and sending them off to a few family members who don't have Fox on their channel selection.

For some reason, I couldn't find the full opening comment for Tucker's show last night..... just a short clip as posted in the Daily Caller. If anyone else did see the whole opening, would it be possible to get a link for it? Thanks!

They take orders from the 1%.

It's pretty obvious to me that the senior levels of our government are thoroughly corrupt, politicized, and left-leaning.

Trump failed to establish his Administration.


Yes...we get that you are an anti-Trumper, by your numerous Trump bashing posts.

Rather than consistently bash POTUS, why not post what YOU would have done, differently, in each post/instance?

More FBI investigating a garage puller than an actual hanging in the case of Epstein.

I see someone provided the link... for future reference, if you have the Fox News app, it always posts Tucker’s opening in its own clip. At the bottom, you go to “watch” then click on Tucker up on the right and there’ll be some of his segments... always the opener. It’s usually up within hr or so of airing. It’s easy to share by message, email, Twitter, etc.. I never miss his openings either👍 He has been on fire lately! I think he’s angry for buying into the total lockdown back in March and spending the first several weeks adamantly pushing it.

Cross burning is verboten, per Clarence Thomas, I guess fake nooses will be banned soon too. US flag burning is OK though.

Has anyone seen a photo of this noose?

As usual, you gotta go to foreign sources to see it.

(UK Daily Mail)

Photo from 2019 - white driver's bay.
