POLITICO Article: Conservative brethren, we must go after Fox News. They are refusing to do our bidding and instead attacking our Emperor.
Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, expressed dismay at President Donald Trump’s leadership on Monday, criticizing the president’s handling of mass protests that have engulfed cities across the country and singling out an influential member of his family.
Carlson, who often uses his show to ardently defend the president and attack Trump’s foes, lambasted the nation’s leaders across the political spectrum for letting protests get out of hand. He also went after Jared Kushner, saying “no one has more contempt” for the president’s supporters than Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser. He accused Kushner of breaking starkly from Trump’s platform and talking Trump out of taking decisive actions.
Demonstrations have sprung up across the country after the death of George Floyd, a black Minnesota man who died after a white police officer pushed his knee into Floyd’s neck as he lay on the ground, and held the position for over eight minutes.
Protesters in Washington have since repeatedly gathered in Lafayette Square, across from the White House, facing off with heavily armed law enforcement officers. A Fox News reporter was also chased out of the area by protesters, which Carlson vehemently condemned.
Amid heated altercations between protesters and the Secret Service and local police, Trump reportedly took shelter in a White House bunker.
“If you can’t keep a Fox News correspondent from getting attacked directly across the street from your house, how can you protect my family?” Carlson said on his show. “How are you going to protect the country? How are you trying?”
He continued: “On Twitter the next morning, the president reassured America that he and his family were just fine. The federally funded bodyguards had kept them safe. He did not mention protecting the rest of the nation, much of which was then on fire. He seemed aware only of himself.”
Carlson also evoked Nero, who — according to legend — fiddled idly as Rome burned, implying Trump would be remembered similarly if he didn't take decisive action to contain the protests. Still, Carlson acknowledged Trump where he promised a display of force if governors and mayors did not rein in the demonstrations.
Trump and Kushner weren’t Carlson’s only targets on his Monday show. The Fox News host took broad swipes at state and local leaders, as well, for supporting the protesters. Though many elected officials have spoken in support of demonstrators’ demands for racial justice, several cities have imposed curfews with additional force from the National Guard.
Kushner was also just one of some unnamed "key advisers" who Carlson said "don't seem to understand ... the gravity of the moment," not only for the country but also for Trump's reelection prospects.
"'No matter what,' they'll tell you," Carlson said of a handful of advisers around the president, "'our voters aren't going anywhere. The trailer parks are rock-solid. What choice do they have? They've got to vote for us.'"
He continued: "Jared Kusher, for one, has made that point out loud. No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Jared Kushner does."
Carlson added that Trump’s reelection was at risk unless he shored up his response to the protests.
“The first requirement of leadership is that you watch over the people in your care,” Carlson said. “Donald Trump is the president. Presidents save countries, and that’s their job and that’s why we hire them. It’s that simple.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

FOX NEWS Tucker Carlson is New ENEMY OF THE STATE
When Trump faces a reality she can't stand, she becomes highly emotional and illogical. Every crisis is met by histrionics, tantrums and an inability to deal with facts. "Its a HOAX! Its a FRAUD!"
The emotion then becomes the reality. Those of us with girlfriends are familiar with this phenomena. Donald Trump menstruating 24/7: "Blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his WHEREVER."

What can Trump do tho? It's looking like he will have to step in now, but initially it's up to the states to act, no? If Trump stepped in from day one, he would have been labelled a dictator, authoritarian, Nazi etc. He had to give them a chance to act, but it's a fine line. I think it's time now.

trump is smart. he's playing 10D chess.
its because he gave the governor + mayors to do their own thing, which is to preserve and protect the city. they have a responsibility to do. he gave them the national guard.
that leadership has failed. its mostly the democrats that have failed
now tomorrow he will invoke a special act to call and command the national guard in states that need them overriding the governor's control.
he's going to look even better coming out of this. just wait.

Like I said before, Fox News hosts often disagree with Trump. Big difference compared to the leftist retard NPCs on CNN who have nothing but their leftist bias and hate the President for breathing oxygen.
BTW I only support more strong action from Trump so good for Tucker to encourage it. Still waiting for ANTIFA to be declared as a terrorist organization and I won't accept a pussy-cuckery from Trump if he backs away from it.

Normally, and so far, it's up to the localities and states to use their local and state law enforcement to quell riots, civil disorder, insurrections and similar and any use of the National Guard is up to the state governors.
If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, it gives him full control of the National Guard and also the use of active military to deploy and use as he needs domestically.

Obviously I saw that tweet. Fact is that it's yet to be done.
We need guys like Tucker to remind Trump that he wasn't elected to babysit libs. If we wanted some compassionate "act of love" cuck then we would'be elected Jeb. I voted for Trump to squash the leftist cockroaches and piss of their graves, and I don't give a sh!t that some liberal fukhead's feelings get hurt. Leftism is a cancer and it can only be eradicated with strength and strength only. I fully support Tucker on this one.

I don't see how Trump "took his sweet time". The issue is that Dem leaders did nothing over the weekend, this thing erupted just a few days ago. Or was Trump supposed to immediately go full tilt on day 1 and overstep local leaders?
I think the big problem with the right is they expect everything on a platter. Same thing with immigration, or pretty much any other issue. And then they wonder why they get Bush, McCain, Romney.6'3 Master Race

Trump is reactionary….he watches Tucker I'm sure of it and loves often what he hears on that show more often than not and follows Tuckers ideas....he heard all of it tonight.
In other words good night sweet Kushner and prepare to be bent over "protesters" ...you bout to get a red/white/blue MAGA cock swung across your terrorist faces.

That is hard to watch and infuriating. I agree that Trump needs to act. Should he have acted sooner? Probably. But where are the local police? Where are the sheriffs? Where are the mayors? Where are the governors? Why aren’t local or state organizations doing anything? It’s almost as if no one wants to be seen or labeled as racist. Let the racist orange man do his thing!

‘Tough Talk’ Trump was AWOL for days while anarchists destroyed America and left people in fear. It’s his job to protect the country from enemies foreign and domestic.
America needed a strong leader and calming voice. Instead they got a president more concerned with igniting the flames (remember looters and shooters, which he had to explain?), talking about China, wiping out peaceful protesters for a church photo op near the White House, and yes, tweeting about his poll numbers.
After finally addressing the matter, he refused to even say the words “police brutality,” (in the past he’s joked about it) and threatened to unleash the military on its own people if this wasn’t handled to his satisfaction.
I could go on. If you don’t think Trump’s leadership has been a problem during this crisis, you’re the problem.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
