In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News star turned independent host on Twitter, shook the digital world with another groundbreaking episode titled “America’s Principles are at Stake.” Within less than 20 hours, the episode amassed an astounding 60 million views, along with over 464,000 likes, 140,000 retweets, and even earned the coveted endorsement of Elon Musk.
This captivating episode saw Carlson boldly exposing what he referred to as the evil and political persecution faced by former President Donald Trump. Carlson’s scathing remarks reverberated across social media, reigniting the fervor surrounding Trump’s ongoing legal battles.
Taking aim at the indictment of the former president, Carlson also leveled serious accusations against President Biden, suggesting that Trump’s political adversaries were relentlessly targeting him. “Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy who actually has a shot at becoming president and diverging from Washington’s longstanding pointless war agenda,” Carlson passionately asserted during the latest edition of his “Tucker on Twitter” show. “And for that single fact, they are trying to take Trump out before you can even vote for him.”
While Carlson acknowledged Trump’s imperfections, he juxtaposed them against the alleged misdeeds of his persecutors, asserting that Trump’s sins were minor in comparison. This unexpected embrace of the former president comes in the wake of Carlson’s departure from his prime-time show on Fox News. The network’s decision to part ways with him was announced less than a week after they agreed to pay a substantial settlement to Dominion Voting Systems over false claims made by Trump and his allies on their platform.
Carlson asserted that the prosecution against Trump is not merely a political matter but carries ideological implications. According to him, anyone who shares Trump’s views is being systematically denied access to power in the United States.
During the 2016 Republican primary debates, Trump made statements regarding the US invasion of Iraq, stating that it had “destabilized” the Middle East. Carlson argued that it is Trump’s stance on this matter that has now landed him in legal jeopardy. He claimed that criticizing the country’s military actions and wars disqualifies individuals from holding influential positions, and persistent dissent could even lead to imprisonment.
The conservative host contended that by labeling prominent figures as “liars,” Trump sealed his own fate. Carlson went on to assert that both major political parties are complicit in this situation, emphasizing that the Democrats and Republicans alike share the responsibility for the marginalization of those who question the established narratives.
Highlighting his views, Carlson stated, “Hillary Clinton was guilty, but so was Paul Ryan, all of them were guilty, they all knew and they all lied, and to a person, they hated Donald Trump for exposing them.” He alleged that Trump faced relentless opposition from politicians he deemed “filthy and decadent,” specifically naming Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, and Lindsey Graham, whom he accused of ganging up against the former president following the charges related to mishandling classified documents.
The Fox News host proceeded to target Mike Pompeo, claiming that he failed to support Trump’s agenda and continuously undermined his policies and ideas. Accusing Pompeo of being subservient to his boss, Carlson criticized the former secretary of state for his recent statements expressing concerns about the safety of the military due to Trump’s possession of classified documents. Carlson dismissed Pompeo’s claims as lies and part of a broader narrative.
According to Carlson, the prosecution of Trump extends beyond political motivations. He argued that individuals who hold similar views to the former president are being deliberately prevented from attaining positions of power in the country. Carlson asserted, “Nobody with Trump’s views is allowed to have power in this country. Criticize our wars, and you are disqualified. If you keep it up, we will send you to prison.” He contended that this message is being sent not only by the Democratic Party but by both major parties in Washington, D.C.
As the legal proceedings against Trump continue, Carlson’s comments add fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the motivations behind the prosecution. Supporters of the former president may find resonance in his claims, while critics argue that the legal actions against Trump are necessary for upholding accountability and preserving the integrity of the nation’s institutions.
