Tucker Carlson, other Fox pundits call for protests of Trump charges

Conservative commentators, presenting the indictment as political oppression, predicted ‘unrest’

Fox News hosts and other conservative commentators fulminated Thursday night against the indictment of Donald Trump, portraying it as an act of political repression, calling for protests and predicting “unrest.”

“It almost feels they’re pushing the population to react,” said Fox prime-time host Tucker Carlson, referring vaguely to Democrats. “‘We think they’re demoralized and passive, let’s see if they really are.’ At what point do we conclude they’re doing this in order to produce a reaction?”

Carlson’s guest, former ESPN personality Jason Whitlock, struck a similar tone: “They are agitating for unrest. That is the only way to interpret this,” he said, before seeming to call for some kind of response: “I’m ready for whatever’s next. And I hope every other man out there watching this show, I hope you’re ready for whatever’s next. If that’s what they want, let’s get to it.”

Carlson’s 8 p.m. show offered some of the most fiery talk on a heated night of conservative reaction to a New York grand jury’s decision to indict Trump after hearing evidence about hush money paid to an adult-film star during his 2016 race for president. Former Fox host Glenn Beck visited the show to predict the country would be “at war” by 2025; the indictment’s intent, he warned was “to inflame this country” so that an unnamed entity “could close the cage” on those who react.

1. Trying to encourage violence and then blame Democrats.

Disgusting pigs.

2. Future Headline: "Ones of people show up to protest Trump's indictment."

Deep down, MAGAs know not to be caught on camera anymore. They learned from Jan. 6 They can still rage in private, but public showing of support and outrage? Infintesimal.

4. Don't ever forget these folks are merely entertainers no one would be so foolish to believe...so

say some very foolish judges in the past…maybe time to revisit the whole issue of Fox is just for Fun and Games, nothing adults would indulge in!

But there are…many many adults with arrested development, and a few political adults who pose with them and pretend to be Ivy League lawyers who also don’t know what’s going on and equally confused!

And then there are the the purely evil, genuinely stupid evil genius adult children posing as politicians, those are the arrested development child’s favorites!

6. I love it.

They've spent so much time in fantasyland, they can't tell truth from reality, whether it comes from their side or the outside. They now overthink EVERYTHING leading to action paralysis.

7. Lets get to it

I hope the maggots don't believe for one second any of these guys saying this is going to be out there protesting or fighting. They're cowards and its not gonna happen.

8. I'm sure Tuckums will be right out there with them.

Don't forget to bring your AR-15, Tuckums. Can't be too careful these days.
