Fox News host Tucker Carlson highlighted some of the hypocrisy surround Democrat rhetoric on “election deniers” this week, pointing out that many prominent left-wing politicians continue to undermine faith in US election results.
“You cannot deny elections and yet, even in the face of the mounting evidence, this is now a very serious felony, there are some extremists who are not deterred.
They’re continuing to commit the crime of election denial and they’re bold enough to do it on video. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is one of them,” Carlson said before playing a video of failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In the clip, Clinton claimed that “Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election, and they’re not making a secret of it.”
“Did you hear that? Right-wing extremists will literally, – literally – (Must teach that word at NPR) – literally steal the next election,” Carlson jibed. “That’s pre-emptive election denial committed by Hillary Clinton herself, but here’s the thing. Probably not likely that an FBI SWAT team is going to show up at Hillary Clinton’s house when she’s in the shower tomorrow morning and in fact, the next time a courthouse is attacked in Portland, Oregon, or a church is torched in downtown Washington, D.C., it’s unlikely that a DOJ court filing will cite what Hillary Clinton just said as an extremist ideology that led to violence. ”
“Why is that? Well, because in the considered opinion of the Democratic Party and the DOJ, it’s not election denial when they do it,” Carlson noted. “No, it’s just ‘election affirming care.’ And there’s been a lot of election affirming care going around these past few weeks.”
The Fox News host added, “In Washington in the hometown newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post, Max Boot just announced that, we’re quoting, ‘If the current trends hold up, Republicans are likely to take over at least the House and quite possibly the Senate, too, along with many state offices. This is how democracies die, both at home and abroad.'”
Carlson concluded, “In other words, if you vote for the wrong person, that’s not democracy, which by the way, unlike dictatorship, does not always come to the conclusion that you favor. That’s not democracy. That’s the death of democracy. Democracy dies in both darkness and non-liberal election outcomes. Oh. OK.”
