Tucker Carlson held nothing back in his monologue on last night’s show, going after conservative leaders — including the president — for not responding sufficiently, in his view, to the protests and rioting that have become commonplace in America in recent days.
After deriding public figures, including Mike Pence and Nikki Haley and powerful insiders with Trump’s ear, like Jared Kushner, Carlson turned his attention to Trump himself. (Mediaite)
“What about the president? Where was he during all of this?” Carlson asked. The host then aired footage of Fox News reporter Leland Vittert, who was attacked by protestors near the White House this weekend.
“That was in Lafayette Square in the center of our capital city,” Carlson said. “The tape raised a troubling question. If you can’t keep a Fox News correspondent from getting attacked directly across from your house, how can you protect my family? How are you going to protect the country? How hard are you trying?”
Carlson noted that the morning after, while Trump took to Twitter to note that he and his family were safe, “he did not mention protecting the rest of the nation, much of which was then on fire.”
…
Carlson said that for Trump’s supporters, “this was a distressing moment.” He added that if Trump fails to protect Americans, “you’re done, it’s over,” pointing out that Nero, the infamous Roman emperor, is remembered for abandoning his “nation in a time of crisis.”
Do you think Carlson’s harsh criticism is fair, or has his view been clouded? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

HELP Expose the TRUTH About Creepy Joe Biden
Tucker Carlson is an outlaw which he learned when he was at CNN – he has agreed with Avenatti to unfounded accusations against Trump and could never keep us from hearing his murmured slanders against this and that including we citizens that he is so good at casually inserting into his recitations so he’s stupid too for never catching on that we caught on – his species of so-in-love-with-himself-that-his-every-word-is magnificent-and-must-be-swallowed-hook-line-and-sinker is why Daily Caller IS NOT in any intelligent’s person’s repertoire for daily reading b/c Tucker is a hack of the worst order and is doing well for Rupert’s son Lachlan Murdouch’s murderous intent to kill off FOX Free News b/c most viewers are down to three personalities they trust: Harris and Gutfeld and Trish only they fired Regan b/c she was Kayleigh McEnany before we got Kayleigh. – Tucker also was just like Facebook and Twitter and youtube and censoring but that’s suddenly stopped as soon as President Trump signed the Order to vacate those censors – Tucker is also a Libertarian which is as close to Pelosi’s communism as he can get without admitting he is communist too – Tucker’s trashing the President is right up his duplicitous alley.

Take your spam and shove it.
I don’t know where your rhetoric is coming from, but I feel you are incorrect in your response. No one should believe what the media projects all of the time…EVER, but Carlson is right; we as average Americans are afraid and watching this craziness unfold, and praying to God, that at least our President can get control of this completely out of control situation. Carlson is an intelligent person and he usually perceives very accurately what is going on and how many, many of the people feel seeing this and trying to understand what in the world is going on!!
You really do not want the us military in the streets. The guard is one thing, but regular combat troops are another entirely. They are trained not be policemen but to kill and break things and they will not hesitate to shoot if it is between them and they objective and their own safety.
I love how well Tucker can tell it like it is!! I am seeing things about Kushner, Nikki Haley, etc differently!! President Trump better get on the ball, because I want him to win in 2020, but he needs to step up, stop texting, and do a lot more to stop the violence on the cities, and protect all of us!!
Riddle me this……. who’s the president?
The president has told each state what to do and he has been at it all along. He said if they don’t get their National Guard out he will send the military. These are terrorists doing this damage and they are paid by the left wing millionaires that are out to destroy our country as we know it. Some of the governors are with their ideas. What he said about looters needing shot is true. They need stopped and deported. TRUMP PENCE 2020. VOTE RED ALL THE WAY OR WE LOSE OUR COUNTRY AND CONSTITUTION!!!
President Trump very cleverly handed the Pandemic Lock-down problems to the Fascist-Leftist Governore – who in turn handed the problem to the Fascist-Leftist Mayors. Being the fools they are they exceeded their authority and were backed by equally foolish Leftist-Fascist congressmen.
Now the angry laid off Voters are protesting Years of Democrat endorsed Police Thuggery and are letting the worst of those Leftist States and Cities hear their protests. Those politicians know how the voters really feel about their leftist lunacy and called in ANTIFA to organize the leftist protests. And now the Ringleaders behind Antifa have exposed themselves along with the TDS elected representatives and and DHS has declared them terrorists – do tell.
The masses are now waking up to the fact that these progressives cant run the cities or states to wc they were elected. The progressives dropped the ball big time
Local City and State Authorities have the primary responsibility to respond, the President shouldn’t step in until all else failed, unfortunately it’s got to that point. The POTUS in local and State affairs is not a first responder, he is the Commander in Chief of the Nations Military, NOT local law enforcement or even the National Guard who is under the control of Individual States unless he takes action to Federalize them. The President did suggest the States should step up their game in a timely manner but at that time he, as he should been only an observer.
I agree with Tucker, but each states Governor is in charge his state, in the USA, each state is it’s own boss, and their all united together. The leader of each state must take charge and arrest and jail these thugs, thieves and arsonists, NOW!!!!!
William I agree with your comments about state governors and mayors handling their states problems everything is not the President’s responsibility. I don’t know if it will be of help to have the President use the Insurrection or Riot Act; how would he protect the innocent. The democrats comments are not adding to resolving their states problems. It is always easier to solve a problem with their personal viewpoint when the problem has already been solved.
The only way the president can get involved including in DC is to declare Marshall law. Otherwise we are at the mercy of the local officials, especially the Mayors. Carlson knows that or at least should know that so I believe there was some posturing going on.
Hey Judy, it is NOT Trump’s place to do the job that the Democommie Mayors and Governors refuse to do. I don’t have any doubt that you will see Federal Troops mobilize soon, if they States don’t get their acts together and quell the riots. These were NEVER protests. They have always been RIOTS! Just one more thing by the Dims to take Trump out in November. Either you are a Trump supporter, or you aren’t. Tucker Carlson says some good things, on some important topics. But he is dead wrong on this one!
TRUMP/PENCE 2020
KAG
I agree! I have always loved how Tucker informs his viewers on news no one else talks about. He has an interesting perspective and sometimes delivers a view that is difficult to hear, but often true.
I do not want the Dems to take over bc they will destroy our country – sell us to China, Europize us, dumb down our economy so that Americans get used to handouts and then they control everything.
However, I do believe that the President is in a difficult position. He needs to respect each state’s autonomy even when the top official doesn’t know what to do (and what they should do is ask Trump’s help). But this would not sit right with the Democrat party and therefore these Governers will not ask for help.
So Trump’s only option is to either order in the National Guard or the military and he’s been blasted for doing so.
Now Tucker is right that its inexcusable to have Antifa,I suspect, attacking a reporter right in front of the White House. And the President’s comment the next day that he and his family were ok and safe without mentioning all those who were not safe and ok bc of the rioters was a serious missed opportunity.
I pray the President can safely navigate this tightrope bc we need him, his strength, his courage, his ability to understand our country’s greatest dilemnas.
Racism has been a problem for decades. Why the color of a person’s skin matters or determines how that person should be treated, I don’t know. To say it matters, focuses on an aspect of a person they have no control over.
However, tho racism exists (and shouldn’t), I don’t believe the police officer who killed George Floyd was demonstrating his racism (tho he may indeed be a racist). He was demonstrating his sociopathic tendencies and should NEVER have been a police officer (or anyone with power).
Unfortunately, there are those in power – education, politics, law enforcement, military, businesses – who have these tendencies and should be weaned out of such jobs where they have the power over others.
hey tucker,, the president is one man! Governors and mayors of all these cities have no balls!! send in the troops activate the national guard and get it done! to let thugs run the streets is ridiculous tucker u have a wrong view,,,he told the governors to take control,,,its up to them
he gave them the ultimatum do it or i will,,,,back off carlson,,,
I agree with you Ed. Our President told the mayors and govenors of those cities to quit being politically correct and got their asses to work for the people. Because if they don’t he WILL and justice will be swift.
I agree completely and Tucker you are attacking the wrong folks. You need to go after the democratic leaders of these dem strongholds, George Soros for paying protesters, etc. Trump will step in for us if they don’t do their job!
This anti- government raid on America is really not about a man of color dying at the hands of an over zealous Police Officer! The officer has been charged and the violence, looting, burning & destroying personal property & Businesses keeps escalating! These criminals don’t care that a lot of hard working citizens are trying to get back to work, catch up on rent or house payments, feed their families and not face foreclosure or eviction notices. This is not a Racial problem even though a lot of left media, social media & etc. would love to make People believe. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE, the ones committing crimes on our streets are well paid ( Communist Soros & his puppets) and are all races, very young & impressionable. The Left is trying to force President Trump’s hand into declaring Martial Law so Demoncraps can scream Dictator!! This along with Pandemic seems a little too convenient & the timing is exactly what Socialist want before 2020 Election!! But hopefully People will not buy into the Socialist Elite Propaganda or the Country as WE know it will no longer be a Democracy!! The hipocracy is SO overwhelming, OUR PRESIDENT who has endured more crap from the Dems than any other President in Our History since Lincoln carries a Bible across the street and Declares “We are One Nation Under God” & the left goes nuts & calls him a hipocrit. Then Quid Pro Joe goes in a Church, after finally coming out of the basement, he’s called a hero??? People need to be reminded of Our Country’s History, it was the Democratic Party who was FOR SLAVERY AND NO EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE
OF COLOR!!!
Thank you.
I AGREE! Thank You Dutsi.
Very well said! I agree that the responsibility for the safety of the citizens of the US begins at the local and state levels. Trump is criticized no mater what he does. Where are the mayors and governors of these states. The hypocrisy is unbelievable!
Very well said…Lord bless you sir!! God bless our President and help our land heal!!
AMEN!! Right on!!!
Dutsi, I agree with everything you say. I’m so sick of Democrats n RHINOS bashing our President when he says or does anything but it’s ok for the left to do the same thing and get away with it. Dems want Trump to call in Military so if ppl get hirt they will blame him and call in Marshall law and try to destroy Trump and try to take away our guns, I say try cuz we the Patriotic ppl refuse to let this happen . The dem governors n mayors are declaring an Allegiance to the ONE WORLD ORDER. that dems are pushing on us right now, ppl be vigilant. I ‘m wondering what about all those MEN REFUGEES that Obama brought over here and put into those training camps? Where is the reporter that several years ago videoed those camps all over NY . I think we need to see those videos again to refresh us about the fact that we will be destroyed from WITHIN. Is this the time for them to be released on us. Obama did say he is going to get involved. There is a dem governor on video, I don’t know her name.for sure so i won’t say it but she is PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE TO THE O W O . ENOUGH IS ENOUGH we the Patriotic Citizens of America DEMAND a vote in this election to return all the STATUES of our History. The young terrorists traitors that took over Seattle know nothing about our History and that’s why they are repeating it. I’m 76 and have seen a lot in my lifetime and these protests have divided us more in 3 weeks than obama did in 8 years. I don’t condone what the police did , not to anyone, but it certainly isn’t worth 20 more ppl dead and millions of damage to our Country. We are now officially a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY . Vote RED OR AMERICA IS DEAD, We have already lost our freedom of speech, if we say ALL LIVES MATTER WE GET FIRED, AN EDITOR PRINTED ALL BUILDINGS MATTER TOO AND GOT FIRED, THIS IS DISGUSTING CUZ ALL LIVES AND BUILDINGS DO MATTER. I WONDER, DID SOROS GIVE OUT MAPS? IT SEEMS THAT MOST SMALL BUSINESS’S THAT WERE BURNED TO THE GROUND BELONGED TO BLACK OWNERS, so please, tell me just whose in the wrong here, I believe Democrats n RHINOS are at the helm, actually ever since they introduced the kkk and slavery, they have been running the show. Time to vote them out and vote TRUMP/ PENCE TO FINISH WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IN THE LAST 4 YEARS WHICH HAS MADE LIFE MUCH BETTER for us all. , WE ARE NOT PERFECT PPL OR A PERFECT COUNTRY HOWEVER IT’S LIKE BEING A PARENT, WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING AND GETTING BETTER AS WE GROW. SO NOW WE STAY AMERICA BY VOTING RED OR WE SWITCH TO A SOCIALIST COMMUNIST COUNTRY . I PREFER THE LATTER. SAVE AMERICA AND OUR FREEDOMS AS WE KNOW THEM. GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT. AMEN. ?????????????????????
Who are you Carlson , back off Your openion way of BASE !!!!!!!!!!
I understand Tucker’s frustration. We are all sick and fed up but the President is only one man who has the weight of the world what is back just day one. He gets enough criticism from the left, the media, and many many others. So get off of his back Tucker. He told the State’s leaders what to do and it’s nobody’s fault but there’s that they didn’t do it. So be mad at them not, President Trump. If you can’t say anything good , then just pray for him which we all should be doing. I appreciate you Tucker, but KEEP YOUR MOUTH OFF OF MY PRESIDENT.
Meant he has had the weight of the world on his shoulders since day one.
Amen!
Tucker.. gets his pay check from Fox News, excuse me but I think Carlson’s a smart enough guy to know what’s going on as we all are. These are paid riotous thugs sent in to cause division, fear and to expell calm. There has been a battle going on ever since President Trump has been put in. Those that want him out have been doing everything they can to disrupt and rid him of this office.. we know that. President Trump will win in November and they know that, so there they have sent in the thugs, to scare us and intimidate. The liberal mayors and Gov’s are standing down and allowing this. We must send in the troops to arrest and take back our land.
Interesting that Tucker has now backed off Pelosi and the other Demotraitors for their constant obstructive and false narratives. To be fair, Trump has offered and given stronger encouragement to the mayors & Governors from the beginning, but in today’s America, you have to “wait and see”! Can’t help but wonder if this is Tucker bending a bit to keep his job or is he upset that one (of many) that have been attacked happen to be a FOX employee!
The President is his own worst enemy. Millions of Americans would vote for Trump if he would stop with his infantile tweeting. Calling people names is something you do in the first grade, not as President. It makes him small.
Trump is on the track on 90% of the issues and I am a devout supporter, but my vote alone will not reelect him
I am one who believes that if Trump is not reelected……our nation is doomed. The Democrats would destroy America should they regain power. They would be the final nail in the coffin of our republic.
Our nation is dying…….and it is dying quickly. God help us.
Amen, the left will ruin us.
You are so right.
I AGREE 100%
I agree with all except your complaint about Trump’s tweeting. From a practical view it is the only way he can get past the lieing media. In my opinion, I love his nicknames for the idiot liberal communist pukes out there wailing at the moon. Something to laugh at them about and the only thing that is laughable about any of them. So keep on tweeting PRSIDENT TRUMP. I for one am glad it isn’t the Butcher of Benghazi and appreciate the occasional chuckle.
Gracias! from Costa Rica.
Dang! Tucker. I think the Donald’s suit of armor and white charger are down in Florida. The constitution sets limits on what he can and the courts hobble him further. Cal it straight if want us to listen to you,
Tucker is wrong on this point and it is extremely surprising to see him succumb to this irrational thought process. This is a Federalist Constitutional Republic, meaning that these type issues are local and state issues. While the President can and did comment of the violent protest that were/are being pushed, controlled and financed by AntiFa and similar leftwing groups for their own political agenda having nothing to do with the unfortunate death of Mr. Floyd, what does Tucker want Trump to have done? People who put themselves in Tucker’s position, mainly left wing radical types, they are always long on vague generalized criticism and short on actual actions that would actually prove to have any positive impact on anything.
Tucker , You are not looking at the whole picture . Where are the Mayors ? Where are the governors ? Why cant they control the people in there own town, State . Why is it the President has to fix everything. Lets just get rid of Mayors and Governors . STOP trying to get the President involved . And Tucker I would though you could figure that out.
I agree
I watch tucker but after last night I will do something else. I noticed he got the cold shoulder from sean last night when he came on air.
tucker no more
I will no longer watch Tucker
I will no longer watch Tucker. He is off the list at our house
He is off the list at our house. Hope they take him off
**** Sean Hannity. Everyone is sick and ******* tired about how he talks about his Martial Arts, that he is only a “small little radio host”, ‘did I ever tell you that my Parents were in Law Enforcement?’, or the worst narcissistic comment of all ‘do you agree with me about?”.
PEOPLE ARE SICK AND ******* TIRED OF THIS SHITHEAD TALKING LIKE HE IS THE TOUGHEST PRICK AROUND….JUST DO YOUR ******* JOB TOUGH GUY!
Gary M. Rotherham
I have usually tried not to watch him (baby Shepard Smith that he is), but from now on I WON’T watch his show.
I quit watching Tucker a few weeks ago. He started sounding like the people on CNN. I can only stomach any of that station for a short time when I check it out on short clips.
Please people, be careful! I have learned not to react hastily to DJT tweets as they tend to be way more complicated then they first appear. (Donald you magnificent TROLL) I believe Tucker is also moderately capable of playing at this level. He has a good crew and generally, sometimes magnificently are on track. (The demise of the democraps party, bad China, etc) I believe he wants Trump to restore the Republic as only a non withholding, non politician man can!!!
I can be wrong but generally I watch carefully with jaundiced eye!
I think Tucker was right on about what he said. President Trump has worked tirelessly for the American people and has had a roadblock every step of the way – including those that are part of his administration and yes,his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Where are the Governors and Mayors – this is theirs to handle. Being politically correct is not what we need right now or ever. Let’s get honest. Most Americans believe in equality – if you cut anyone of us we bleed red. I do not believe there is the racism in this country that some would have you believe. It’s always a good excuse to fall back on when you look for someone or something to blame.
What happened to Raymond Floyd was horrendous and despicable – 4 police officers were involved and all 4 should be arrested and tried. Why has that not happened? Blaming entire police departments and the police as a whole is wrong. We have a wonderful country – we are not perfect but we always try to rectify situations that we get wrong. It is so sad to see a faction of this country try to destroy what has taken over 200 years to build.
It is the job of the governors, not the President. Deep State started the riots and they are intended to be a trap for Trump. They were certain Trump would respond immediately with force so they can call him a dictator. That’s why they are already calling him dictator despite the lack of evidence, because that’s the narrative they had been told to repeat in the event of a Trump crackdown. Tucker is just bringing attention to that. He may be working for Trump, come to think of it. Later when Trump brings in the military, he will be criticized and threatened with impeachment for abuse of power. But there will be a record from people like Tucker saying he hadn’t done enough, showing how much restraint he had exhibited. All the evidence, right now, shows that Trump is restrained, thanks to people like Tucker.
your right trump 2024
Wow! Tucker I really do adore you. I think you’ve gotten a little juice from Donna Brazile and Paul Ryan. I think Trump handled the proper way. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. Just like COVID-19. Aren’t the Mayors and Governors responsible for their own states Tucker? Guess what Tucker. These are all democrat states and guess what they want to to see Trump fail. I feel very bad for what happened. That doesn’t give anyone the right as a human being to come in and do what they’ve done. Trump gave them every opportunity to make something happen, but they were not going to do this Tucker! Diblasio and Omar’s kids were demonstrating really! Trump gave them plenty of time to make this right and they didn’t finally Monday 6/1 things started happening. I think you need to step back and think about what you stated Tucker. This man has fought a battle way before he won the election with one arm and most of the time two arms behind his back. You’re starting to sound like Meagan Kelly; maybe you should get a job at CNN or MSNBC. You’d fit right in!
Excellently said! go Trump 2020!
Totally agree, Bobbie!
This is a democrap plan. ONLY the blue states are burning. They have NO desire to stop this, punto.
Tucker I always watch your show but this commentary on President Trump is grossly unfair! He most certainly had taken steps to get the Governors to do their jobs! Remember how they threw it up to him at the beginning of the charade known as COVID-19 that they had the power to determine what was best for each state!? Trump believes less government is better but many of the Democrat Governors turned out to be little Hitlers, keeping their states closed for inordinate amounts of time. he told them to get the National Guard in right away but if they didn’t listen that is not the President’s fault. Please apologize!
I agree with you Anna C…. Tucker please rethink this through and seriously consider an apology to the President
Tucker, You know our President Donald Trump has been persecuted since Day 1 of his presidency. He needs our prayers and support. How can you criticize him? He has the weight of the world on his shoulders! You need to walk in his shoes and then apologize. Your words only help the liberal left-wingers. Do you want them to be in control of our country? God help us! Please retract what you said. You can help him be re-elected or your words can help our country be destroyed.
President Trump’s option against 24/7 lies and hate is to use an on-line publisher like twitter. I just wish someone would start up an independent one. If the President left twitter for another outlet twitter would fold.
Yes Tucker, the President should follow his gut and not listen to others not even Jared. Too bad about Nikki Haley, I thought better of her.
Normally, Tucker is pretty correct. However, he got this one wrong. The Secret Service is responsible for protecting the President & family. Various police departments are responsible for protection of citizens outside the White House fence. As you see, when they don’t perform, the President threatens to bring in the military.
I absolutely agree. This is one thing I think Carlson missed the mark.
The only thing the President can do is call in the military. Its not there job. The govenors already have the national guard. Its there jobs to break up this crap. If the military got involved everyone would say he acted like a dictator.
You know, I don’t care what “people” say about me and I’m very glad that PRESIDENT TRUMP has followed my example. We both always o what is right rather than listen to the mob.
Cecil Lavern ABSOLUTELY!
Pretty dumb statement. Even dumber question.
That type of speech is expected from the left because it is accusational.
Here in lays the issue. Passive action leads nowhere, other than allow continued violence. Taking action against violence will stop it if done with decisive actions that quell violence. The issue isn’t about protecting, it is about being prepared to stop the rioting. There in is where protesters get identified as rioters.
If you protest in large groups then the local governments need to have adequate resources to guard against violence to the protesters and to stop it if it becomes a riot.
In the meantime those that incite violence need to be charged with exactly that.
Wake up Tucker! POTUS does not run the city and state governments. That’s the responsibility of the governors and mayors. Where have they been? Lafayette square is under city jurisdiction. Have you asked the DC mayor why there was no police presence there. You might also queasy the DC police chief. That’s where your criticism belongs sonny.
then we don’t need no govenors or mayors
Tucker, now you’ve gone too far in questioning President Trump not being there in any form ! Question is : Where is the city’s mayor — state governors — the fake news people (so-called journalists and/or reporters) ??????? I totally agree with Anna C Kania on her “spot on” post to you) ! I have fought as hard as any to keep you on FOX NEWS, but you’re not being really objective to say the least ! I’ll leave at this ! I agree with Anna C Kania , you do need to apologize !
Trump is one of the few in power to speak out forcefully and demand that local authorities act decisively to quell the civil unrest or he will deploy the military to accomplish what governors, mayors, National Guard and local police seem incapable of accomplishing. Thank God he is in the Oval Iffice rather than bumbling Joe!
Extremely disappointed in you Tucker! Will be switching to another station from now on and will return to Fox to watch Hannity. Do we want our President to solve what these democrats blue states Governors and mayors should be doing? What is your solution to this since you seem to know so much? Trump has been the best President we have had since Reagan. And when I see all this looting, destruction, arson, I get sick to my stomach for these people that see their things, their lives, their businesses up in smoke! These states need to use the National Guard, and the police force and identify. And arrest these criminals.
Tucker was only echoing similar thoughts as these acts of terrorism continue. I wonder the same thing. We watch these people trash businesses when they are already suffering from the Covid economy. They trashed our national monuments that our veterans died for. They intimidate our citizens with fear. No Governor, Mayor or police do anything but watch because they agree with the actions and are part of the terrorist network. The media is gorging themselves on the violence and the ad monies. We wonder why? We know why. It is all part of the original plan. ANTIFA (Really Soros), the media, Demoncrats and a vast array of very wealthy liberals are behind this. It may have started about a black person dying but it was used to fuel the liberals agenda. No one is arguing that was wrong. However, if they are that truly upset about blacks dying, why aren’t they storming Chicago or the other liberal cities where blacks murder blacks weekly. Thousands die every year. Where is the outcry?
It is all about this election and conservative values. We need a strong response, but we have no one in those cities to support that. President Trump has our full support, but it is time to get this done with.
Carlson is wrong.
Governors and local authorities control the local police and sheriffs. President Trump authorized the governors to use the National Guard. They can ask for the army to back them up and then our president has some sway…
Trump never pretended to own the army and he follows the law. Every governor and mayor who did not confront these terrorists need to be replace
Hear, hear!!
FOX seems to have started leaning more left all the time. Tucker has seemed like he is too’ I don’t watch him too much anymore. Why has FOX hired people like Donna Brazil and Juan Williams? I don’t watch any of their garbage. I don’t watch The Five anymore. If FOX goes left, who do we have left. I think they are fixing to cut their own throat.
Generally, I think Tucker does a pretty reasonable job with his monologues. Sometimes, he goes a little over-board in how he weights his points (maybe to help his ratings), but pretty fair and balanced overall. This AAN synopsis was not fair and balanced. If you listened to the monologue, Tucker blasted almost everyone, from local officials, to mayors, governors, Hollywood flapjaws, the mainstream media, before he started in on Trump administration (current or ex) people and Trump himself. As I was listening, I was saying….right on….and not disagreeing with much, until the last part. I think his balance in terms of laying blame for inaction or missteps was skewed too heavily on Trumpers. Most of the issues, their causes, and the blame belongs on the first half of this list, much less so on the second half. But, perhaps in an attempt to be “fair and balanced” he mistakenly thought that meant smacking everyone equally hard was appropriate. His comments regarding Trump were the least fair part. Trump seems to be the only one willing to piss people off by taking action, usually stronger and sooner than most others, because his overall understanding and appreciation for what is best for the citizenry is not rooted in power struggle/media driven/self-serving ideology and motivations like the others are. Hopefully people who read this piece, saw the monologue for themselves and are not relying on this as an accurate representation. Boy, could you imagine how all this would go if Biden was President?….think Ferguson, Baltimore, etc. etc. He would probably end up bunkered in at the top of the Washington Monument watching DC burnt to the ground, much like Nero watched Rome burn, wringing his hands, and incoherently muttering about how he gave everybody everything they wanted and this is still happening. Like Robert Gates said, nobody seems to have been wrong on most things foreign and domestic than Biden consistently was.
Applause, applause!!
Tucker you are not long in this plush job. CNN could use your voice. Fit right
in.
Were his comments fair or unfair? A little of both, in my view. I am always suspicious when someone who purportedly wants to persuade me to a certain viewpoint uses ad hominem attacks to support his/her case. And ad hominem attacks were the most obvious ones Mr. Carlson used, especially against Ms. Haley and Mr. Kushner. I have no desire to defend either of those individuals; if pressed, I would say that both were deserving of criticism, but that criticism should take the form of specifying exact statements and actions. Mr. Carlson did point to a statement by Ms. Haley, but it was hardly proof of his point. And he offered no concrete evidence against Mr. Kushner. Obviously, Mr. Carlson doesn’t like either Ms. Haley or Mr. Kushner. Fair enough; I’m no fan of either myself although I would easily prefer Ms. Haley over Mr. Kushner, if it came to that. Using rumor and innuendo, however, is just not acceptable; it’s been the “go to” tool for Leftists attempting to bring down President Trump. It’s wrong when they do it, and it’s wrong when Tucker Carlson does it. Having said that, I do believe that Mr. Carlson raised a valid point; I think President Trump and Republicans in Congress have not handled these riots well. Initially, they didn’t look so bad because the only point of comparison was with imbeciles such as the Governor of Minnesota, the Mayor of Minneapolis, and the Mayor of New York. But avoiding being an imbecile won’t help you much in the long run. People expect actual leadership. This chaos must be stopped; President Trump has already waited longer than he should have. The Left will blame him regardless, so he may as well do the right thing.
Tucker, I have watched you move farther to the left and you are now to the point that I seldom watch you. Do you really have to kiss up to James Murdoch to keep your job or do you just enjoy looking in the rear view mirror for things about which to criticize our President? You could be much more constructive in pointing out what needs to be done in the future rather than complaining about what our President and his administration are doing. Stating what should be done is much harder than being critical of what has been done.
I was going to respond, until I read “GT from 2500 feet up” commentary. His response was spot on, and echoes my sentiments exactly. Very well said GT.
I think Tucker may be experimenting with a new philosophy. Up against O’Reilly every night, it might be a good idea.
Tucker Carlson is and always has been stuck in my craw. He is actually one of those people I would love to buy for what they are really worth and sell for what they think they are worth.
His performance last nigh was indefensible.
shame on you, Tucker, I had watched you for years, not anymore, seems like you don’t know that the response at first is from the mayors and governors, the president can’t do much at the beginning, why you did not speak out like now when the riots during Obama’s era, you are showing now who you really are, I’ll like to see where all those who wrote comments above against the president were during Obama, they are all a bunch of cowards, that it. Trump is and will be the best president.
Tucker should keep his mouth shut and apologize to to President Trump!
No, Doris Vantierce, President Trump should acknowledge Tucker’s comments as being sound and well thought out. Tucker Carlson’s editorial is spot on. He points to the political corruption and the hypocrisy that’s rampant here. What I believe you misunderstand is it is part of the Presidential (constitutional) mandate to protect citizens and our freedoms by what ever manner is needed. However there is a mandatory delegation given by the constitution as to how that protection is achieved. It’s called the 10th amendment. State leaders swear an oath to defend and protect, yet when these leader’s fail, there is no constitutional direction as to what needs to be done, and, to my current knowledge, any constitutional law decisions. Politicians, past and present, have seen to that. We have acquiesced in those decisions and government being government has used this to make us dependent. That may not have been the perception at the time, but it is the end result. Yet when circumstances present themselves as is happening right now we want somebody to do something. Both sides of the political spectrum have created this. All Tucker Carlson did was present the situation as it is. We still have the means to begin to correct this journey, and it can start this November, our time for a revolution. Of course, we won’t because we all have to blame others for our lack of accountability and politicians being politicians are more than happy to take advantage of that to gain power.
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU TUCKER. WHO RUNS THE STATES? GET OFF YOUR STAGE AND REPORT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. WHY NO OUTRAGE AT THE SHOOTING OF THE CALIFORNIA POLICEMAN. ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS PAUL RYAN AND THE REST OF THE FOX EXECUTIVES?
lEAVE IT TO A LIBERTERIAN TO TELL THE PRESIDENT WHAT TO DO. dID TUCKER CARLSON EVER WEAR A U.S. MILITARY UNIFORM? HE WAS TOO BUSY COUNTING HIS MONEY MADE BY SWANSON FROZEN DINNERS WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WITH A PLATE FULL OF PROBLEMS, MOST HE INHERITED AND SOME CAME FROM CHINA THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP.

Agree with Ms Vantierce Tucker attacked our President not the looters or the rioters,
he should keep his mouth shut and apologize to our Presdident, he has sided with the
perpetrators and defended them.
Sound like a Liberal going off half cocked Tucker. Get your facts straight!
This President is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. I suppose all these armchair critics could do a better job.
I like Tucker Carlson, but I think his criticism is a little heavy handed and unfair regarding the president. This is a very complicated situation, and unless he knows exactly what will work best, he shouldn’t be so quick to criticize. The governors should be making decisions for their own states. When you are so quick to find fault you risk sounding like Ann Coulter.
There,s nothing that can be done if the governe,s and mayors refuse to act. The NYPD is the best police dept. in the USA. DeBlasio is a Jew hater, and so proud of his daughter who was arrested for protesting. It,s also not even his name. It,sWilhem
something, Google It. Tucker was a little heavy handed, but there is so much going on I don,t know how everyone hasn,t lost their minds by now. I,m living in BROWARD
County and we have been on lock down for months. We,re the only one and Miami Dade county in Florida who have been on lockdown all these months. Trump is the Prez. He has more than enough on his plate since he became President. Omar, Tlaib and her daughter are telling the protesters what to do, what to wear, to cover their tattoos, etc. These people are in Congress. Why are they working for the US gov,t.??
They and Pelosi and the other two are all anti American. The Hollywood people are bailing out all the people who are jailed and so are the Liberal Dems. We still have a 9:00pm curfew here. The cops are being abused, the President is being abused, and the Conservatives are being abused. And Hanoi Jane and Cher and all their buddies are donating money to this rioting. Of course there,s always Al Sharpton and Obama also stirring the Pot. This is disrespecting the Floyd family and Floyd himself. He is with God now, but his family is suffering and none of these people care. Any parent who has lost a child knows how horrible it is. Their life will never be the same, nor will their children’s. I,VE been there and know how it feels. God bless all the Floyd family, God bless the USA and God bless President Trump.
Sorry Tucker but I don’t think it’s the Presidents job to be protecting media crews outside his home especially if that crew decides to get into the middle of a protest looking for quick sound and video bites. My tax dollars aren’t available to protect your a** just because you’re looking for your next latest and greatest. My tax dollars should be available to protect my President. Get a life.
” SUPERSTAR” ~ ? ? ? ? ? ? You’re Putting Me On !!!
My husband and I were so disappointed in Tucker’s commentary on President Trump last evening. He made very bad and untrue judgments about our president. We are sickened by it!!! We are so grateful for Pres. Trump’s strength and leadership, even though we don’t always like his off the cuff comments on Twitter. After 8 years of dragging our country down with Pres. Obama in office, we finally have some respect from the world again. We are to be the shining light in such a dark world!!! We quit watching Tucker when we found he seemed to laugh in such a sarcastic way about so many things and did not really listen to the person he was interviewing. We gradually started watching him again, but after last evening’s show, we are finished! Tucker, you need to either get back to reporting the truth, or leave FOX!!!
Discounting the fact that Trump was ushered out of harms way to the saferoom as required by protocol when the White House is being breeched, He would be as stupid as Tucker in advocating for a federal force and then be accused of running a police state instead of abiding to constitutional obligations provided to the states and districts. Can you imagine the outcry by every media, governor, and congressman if he did? He came out strongly condemning the mayors and governors for not being prepared and not intervening with their National Guards while offering any request for federal help by them to protect peaceful protests but quashing the radical attempts to destroy and injure. He handled it correctly and anyone here needs to look at how the mayors and governors handled what was known to happen. NYC with a 11 PM curfew, streets empty from cops, no barriers, get real. NYC alone at least 47 police vehicles were damaged or destroyed during the incidents on Saturday. A total of 33 police officers were also injured, and hundreds of millions of damage were done as whole stores were vandalized, set afire, and stripped clean of goods. Then we have BLM and the fawning media saying the police are out of control over 1 unarmed killing. Even across the country 14 unarmed blacks were killed with only 2 being declared unjustified by grand juries. Meanwhile, more than 1500 blacks were murdered by other blacks last year and not a peep from BLM, black leaders, or the leftist media.
I watch Tucker most night and sometimes he can be an azzhat, this is one of those times
I don’t watch or support Tucker. He’s part of the elitist group. I know a lot of other Trump supporters are tired of Tucker. Let’s see how long he lasts at FOX when people stop watching and supporting products from sponsors.
I agree with everyone else, what Tucker said about the President last night was
disgusting , the President gave the governors and mayors a chance to settle
this and they didn’t do it. The President had a lot of guts walking across the
street to the church, any other president would be hiding in the basement like Biden.
Tucker, I watch your show religiously every night and you are always spot on. Trump cannot run everything in this country, I agree with most of the comments from above. Tucker, think this one over, Trump will and should only take over if the mayors and governors are too stupid and lax to see that something absolutely has to be done, forget about whether you mayors and governors will be re-elected. What about us, and those folks losing their life’s work.
Tuckers opinion of himself is far greater than the rest of our opinions of him!! His majesty
has gone bonkers, I would love to see him attempt to do any of those 9 he want’s replaced..
I want him replaced, whatever they pay him he hasn’t given back to his audience! If all we wanted was lying, crying and whining we could listen to Chris Matthews or Don Lemon!!
The enemy should have been squashed the very first time it reared it’s ugly head, but the whole nation hesitated and allowed it to gain confidence and wreak havoc on our beloved nation. What a sorry bunch of American patriots we turned out to be. I am shamed to think of what our forefathers would think of us.
Sorry Tucker! Your comments lack wisdom. President Trump is faced with the Pandemic, restoring the economy and now these riots and looting by thugs. No president has ever had to deal with more than one of these issues. He’s doing an admirable job. So get behind him and stop your whining.
Good Night Tucker, you lost. Lastima!
Tucker who paid you off??? I use to like your program not anymore. Will be turning you off! Rather watch Andy Griffin.
Hey fellow posters, ease up.
At least give Tucker credit for being 100% correct with regard to all of the other worthless republican lifer bureaucrats who either said nothing or sided with the rioters.
We need to take note of how brainwashed your own kids or grandkids are!!!
I know, I know, “Not my kids.” “My kids weren’t raised that way.”
Well the millions of spoiled, clueless white kids im seeing on TV, suburban street corners (suburbs – like where YOU live), and Facebook, etc. THEY ARE VILE, ANTI – LAW ENFORCEMENT, PRO-ANARCHY, SPOILED SHITS!!!!
Ya’ll better start worrying more about what your offspring are saying when you’re not around.
Carlson is always big on Monday Morning Quarterbacking of what others do. He was not elected by the American people and thinks more highly of himself than he ought to. He is often wrong in what he says, although he is also often right. He needs someone on his staff or management to critique and advise him to keep him from going off on an ignorant tangent at times!!!
Back off. Trump can’t snap his fingers and things happen. It takes time.He said he would get the National Guard and he did. Now the other states have to make up their own minds if they want them.
What we are seeing is the collapse of a phony monetary system that has been deteriorating over a period since the Great Depression. Whatever faults that anyone thinks our President Trump has, which he has inherited over this time period, will only be made worse by those of the communist/democrap party. Obummer had no growth plan of any type for the American people, only strip from the prosperous, to give to the losers in our society. The commie plan will only appear to work as long as there are enough to adequately feed the country. I have nothing against our President, despite some minor personality faults. His experience and love for our country surpasses anything that the communist critics can even think they can offer for the future of our country!
Tucker, what more do you think our President can do? When he talks about sending in troops, the left cries out that is unconstitutional. Give the guy a break. Libs tie his hands at every turn. You should be more supportive.
Tucker Carlson is carrying his message to the faithful, but Trump is correct again. Getting federal military into a situation of possibly shooting against demonstrators, even rioters, will only improve the demonstrators’ argument of Trump taking powers beyond his Presidency. Letting local and state officials handle the riots is the more wise path.
The import issue here is the November election. Antifa and their Democrat controllers are primarily seeking the election of a Democrat government. They will burn the US into the ground to make Trump look bad and to achieve their ends.
There are people truly seeking social disintegration and civil war by uprising against the police and all law enforcement everywhere in America. This is what is really going on on this election year. Tucker Carlson made a lot of good points….but he seems not to get the real evil or is he afraid of another visit to his home by ANTIFA?
Mr. Carlson – Donald Trump is the only president you have who will protect the Constitution and Conservatism – the only one.
Tucker Carlson sounds like he is more afraid of ANTIFA banging on his door again and him getting worse from them.
Tucker:
I disagree with your view of what “we” want (review 19:19 of you video):
I want, simply, to be able to defend the life and property of mine, my family, my neighborhood, my city, state, and country.
Government wants to help me in that, great. It wants to supplant me in that, problem – unless you station a cop at my house AND at my office – it’ll be over before what I’m protected is safe.
You want to prevent me? Ugh.
Why must we always look to the Federal government to solve every problem and meet every need? That’s part of the problem, not part of the solution. Addressing what is happening now is a state and local government responsibility. The Federal government should only get involved when requested by the states if they need help. I understand Pelosi has participated in a protest. That’s inappropriate for a Speaker of the House, and she is just grandstanding. If she wants to lend support, she should issue a statement. As an official of the Federal government, particularly the legislative branch, she has no role.
Tucker Carlson after last night, you are now a traitor and liar like all the other’s fake news reporter. I will change channel when you are on the air. You should be ashamed of yourself. I guess you are now part of the payroll of Soro’s . May God forgive you for all the lies you said. You are now in my shit list.
On balance Carlson challenging Trump is not all that outrageous. Carlson delivers some of the best conservative commentary on cable news and I support Trump, certainly not Quid Pro. Actually Trump might have been more forceful as riots broke out. I think that’s a fair criticism. Now let’s move on.
I trust that the president is doing what he and his cabinet believe is best for the nation. I also believe they have vastly more information than any ordinary citizen. Nobody in this nation has suffered with the colossal level of constant commentary, hounding by political goons, shattering litigation and all the rest.
Since none of us can affect executive action, I plan to wait and see how it turns out. I’m affording generous slack in view of the fact that he’s been correct thus far in his first term. I’m hopeful that he’ll carry us through a successful second term.
We have watched your program. But it is now off of our list. Cannot believe that you did
protect the President with your comments. He is the leader of our nation, and he should be
protected.
Tucker, we thought you a good conservative truthful Fox News commentator.
Good by.
Hey Tucker, how much is Soros paying? You back stabbing piece of crap.
