Schumer Demands Murdoch Pull Fox’s Tucker Carlson Off-Air “Because Our Democracy Depends On It”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

‘…thou doth protest too much, methinks’<\/strong><\/em> is about the most perfect summary of the spectacle that erupted today after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson exposed some realities (and all the falsities) of the events of January 6th.<\/a><\/p>\n

From Mitch McConnell to Mitt Romney, and every RINO and uniparty member in between, Carlson was pilloried using the standard ‘conspiracy theory’ narrative – though oddly, not one those that spoke out actually refuted any of the never-before-seen footage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And yet, the so-called ‘mainstream media’ – which ate up every second of the January 6th Committee’s endless charade, fell silent:<\/p>\n

\n

NY Times. WaPo. WSJ. LA Times.<\/p>\n

Front page blackouts of explosive new footage showing Americans were lied to about January 6.<\/p>\n

But one man stood above it all and demanded this horrific show of free speech be brought to an end – enter Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stage left…<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen an actor treat the American people and American democracy with such disdain,\u201d <\/strong>Schumer said. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s going to come back tonight with another segment. Fox News should tell him not to.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then with trembling voice, Schumer set forth his demands…<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese lies continue tonight, Rupert Murdoch, who has admitted they were lies and said he regretted it, has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight,<\/strong> now that he\u2019s seen how he has perverted and slimed the truth, and from letting him go on again and again and again,\u201d Schumer said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNot because their views deserve such opprobrium, but because our democracy depends on it.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

If Democracy did really depend on stopping Tucker Carlson from revealing the truth about how Democrats have been lying about this subject for three years, it would deserve to fall.<\/p>\n

Schumer concluded by claiming that Carlson manipulated his audience by cherry-picking sequences.<\/p>\n

To that we simply say – Pot meet Kettle, Chuck, old boy.<\/p>\n
