Tucker Carlson argues Democrats using coronavirus 'as a political weapon' in hope of winning in November

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden used the coronavirus pandemic to send a message of "power and coercion" Thursday by calling on America's governors to mandate outdoor mask-wearing and telling Americans such a move was "not about your rights, but about your responsibilities," Tucker Carlson argued Friday.

"Joe Biden hasn't waded too deeply into questions of public policy," said the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host. "Whatever else Biden may be doing ... it's fair to say he is not running a campaign about ideas. But Biden has made at least one campaign promise so far. He has pledged, if elected, he will force you to wear a mask when you go outside.

"Biden didn't specify which epidemiological studies would justify a law like that," Carlson added. "That's probably because there aren't any, not a single one. But whatever, Biden's never been much of a science guy, he's a lifelong politician. His specialty is not public health, his specialty is power and coercion, so he does what he knows.

How Deep is the swamp? How vast are the players? What is allowed to be broadcast? For what purpose?

Tucker is spot on. Imagine if CNN or MSNBC was as honest as Tucker is Biden would have no chance at all. But the left lies they lie they trick people into voting for a smoke screen. I really don’t know how they sleep at night.

>> Imagine if CNN or MSNBC was as honest as Tucker

CNN is ATT
MSNBC is Comcat

ATT is the nation’s #1 telecom provider
Comcast is the nation’s #3 telecom provider

Nothing wrong with this of course /s

They may not defeat Trump, but they’ll keep the House at a minimum. The GOP holding the Senate is dicey right now. What should have been a lock to retain the Senate and a good shot at the House is being squandered by the GOP.

yes those networks are devious and dishonest, but be aware of this; there are many more people out there that will vote for Biden than for Trump, many more; which is why Trump needs every vote he can get in FL, WI, MI, and PA, his path to victory in 2016...

“so far. He has pledged, if elected, he will force you to wear a mask when you go outside.”

I hope Trump plays that as a campaign ad many times before November.
