‘Tucker Carlson Has Officially Lost It:’ Says BLM ‘Won’ the Verdict Then Laughs Maniacally While Kicking Off Guest

By

Let’s begin with the premise and get into why it’s now obvious to many that Tucker has lost it to the point he needs to be pulled off the air, including some LEOs and some on the right.

Yes, he has. Over the last week, we have had almost daily reports in which Tucker advocated something utterly bizarre, at times downright dangerous, as was the case when he mused about whether the government could be hiding the truth about vaccines and whether they work at all. People will die as a direct consequence of that statement.

So what would send a guy over the edge, something proving that he’s “officially lost it”? Last night, Tucker Carlson looked and acted angry about the Chauvin verdict. And his anger was expressed through sheer insanity.

We saw the entire trial, saw all the evidence, and his fellow “blue” officers in Minnesota agreed it was wrong. The verdict was obvious except for lingering racism. But this jury found a way to come together.

And that has Tucker …angry?

“The jury in the Derek Chauvin trial came to a unanimous and unequivocal verdict this afternoon: Please Don’t Hurt Us. The jurors spoke for many in this country, and everyone understood perfectly well the consequences of an acquittal in this case. After nearly a year of burning and looting and murder by BLM, that was never in doubt. Last night, 2,000 miles from Minneapolis, police in Los Angeles pre-emptively blocked roads. Why? They knew what would happen if Derek Chauvin got off.

So Tucker just removed the possibility that Chauvin was actually guilty and the only possible explanation is fear of rioting and looting. This is repugnant. The head of the police union in this country said he supports the verdict. Now listen to Tucker’s maniacal laughter while Tucker kicks off an LEO expert who agrees with the verdict. We suspect this LEO thinks Tucker’s lost it.

For those who don’t have time to listen to the interview, this shows it well enough:

Tucker best explained his beliefs here:

“In the end he didn’t get off. If given the maximum sentence under the law, he will spend the rest of his life in prison. Is that a fair punishment? Is the officer guilty of the specific crimes for which he was just convicted? We can debate all that, and over this hour, we will. But here’s what we can’t debate. No mob has the right to destroy our cities. Not under any circumstances, not for any reason. No politician or media figure has the right to intimidate a jury. And no political party has the right to impose a different standard of justice on its own supporters.

“Didn’t get off”? That’s usually called “was found guilty.” Almost no one gets the maximum sentence for a first crime, Carlson knows this, he’s trying to be over the top. (It doesn’t mean Chauvin shouldn’t spend the rest of his life in prison, but the reality is that it’s highly unlikely and would be for most defendants, at least most white first offenders.)  Carlson also said they could “debate” whether Chauvin was guilty all night. No, we cannot, the jury found him guilty. Period.

Tucker says that no mob has the right to destroy our cities. We’re unaware of a mob that did. Additionally, Tucker doesn’t mention that no mob has the right to intimidate voters and destroy our Capitol, nor kill a law enforcement officer. And then Tucker dismisses the possibility that Chauvin is guilty and blames this on… Democrats, because that’s the only justification for the verdict. This comes after one party tried to end democracy in America.

Just more evidence that Tucker thinks this is an incredible injustice that will hurt the “good guys.”

A movement is building to finally get Tucker off the air. FOX will listen if “money” makes Tucker untouchable.

 

On a night when people should have been celebrating justice, instead we got a demonstration in why we’re still a long way from a just society.

This is the only way. Get sponsors to reject him.

We will just end here, there are 2,000 replies to the tweet above, almost all identical in their anger, but this sums it up:

****
Peace, y’all
