Tucker Carlson has created a new bizarre term to describe the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has a new description for the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. According to HuffPost, Carlson believes the insurrection was more of an “election injustice protest.”
On Monday, September 12, the primetime conservative host made his remarks during the recent segment of "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged hundreds of individuals for their involvement in the plot to overturn the presidential election and halt the confirmation of the Electoral College vote.
At one point during the segment, Carlson spoke about Vice President Kamala Harris' recent interview on the anniversary of 9/11 where she also addressed the rising threat of domestic terrorism in the United States.
During the interview, NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Harris how domestic terrorism compares to foreign threats. The vice president, according to Politico, said, “Each are dangerous and extremely harmful, but they’re different."
According to Carlson, Harris compared the insurrectionists to 9/11 plane hijackers. "The threat within? What does that mean? What the hell are you talking about you freaking lunatic? There's no group of Americans anywhere in the United States half as dangerous as the 9/11 hijackers," Carlson ranted. "To suggest otherwise is literally insane. Drawing a parallel between the election injustice protests of January 6th and the fall of the Twin Towers? True lunacy."
He later said, "But Kamala Harris didn't even pause, almost like the whole question was a set up. She just nodded. This unspecified internal threat, she confirmed, is in fact just like Al-Qaeda -- 'very dangerous and very harmful.' You may be wondering at this point, 'What is this threat?' Since we've just declared a new war on terror, but against whom? Who is this threat? Well, of course, it's you and anyone else in the way of the Biden administration."
“So again, that’s the sitting vice president who they tell us over and over, and you just heard her say it, received more votes than any vice president in history," Carlson said, adding, "And if you don’t believe that ― and there are reasons not to believe that ― if you don’t believe that, you’re like [Sept. 11 hijacker] Mohamed Atta. Your beliefs are acts of terror, you’re comparable to a mass murderer and you need to be pursued by law enforcement.”
