Wednesday, FNC host Tucker Carlson criticized the double standard in the American criminal justice system, which he argued applied based on the politics of the individuals involved.
He pointed to how the Department of Justice was handling the January 6 U.S. Capitol incident and other acts of violence around the country, which have led to civil unrest, as examples.
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: the ironically named civil rights division of the Biden Justice Department announced today there will be no charges brought against the man who shot and killed protester, Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol back in January.
No one who pays attention and was surprised to hear this. In cases like this, the benefit of the doubt usually does go to law enforcement, as we have often said we are fine with that. It should.
But still, in a free society, the rest of us have a right to know roughly what happened. Of the doubt usually does go to law enforcement, as we have often said we are fine with that. It should. But still, in a free society, the rest of us have a right to know roughly what happened. In this case, we have a right to know who shot Ashli Babbitt and why? No one will tell us.
The Biden administration says the man who killed Babbitt is a Capitol Hill police officer and he did the right thing. That is all they’ve said.
We know that Ashli Babbitt was short. She was female and she was unarmed. There was no evidence the officer who killed her gave her any kind of verbal warning before he pulled the trigger. Is that now standard procedure?
Would he be talking about “Two Sets of Laws”?
LOL.
It won’t matter.
You keep cheering for it and they keep shoving it down your throat and in your face.
HE is not affected by it — he’s rich.
But I’m glad to see one of the elite and protected coming out and acknowledging the phenomena.
The rest of you? You better start paying more attention.
Something tells me that Tucker isn’t as protected as most think.
Fox is in the midst of change, which is scary looking in from the outside. Conforming in a reactive sense to society and they would be willing to set Tucker on a branch. If he gets too heavy for his britches, they would be willing to take the hit – let him go and of course PAY him.
TV is in a reactive state – it too shall pass like an angry bowel movement.
Fox is proactively thinking ahead. All will be fine with the fair and balanced one.
