Tucker questions calling the people involved on January 6th “terrorists” when they were largely unarmed and, as far as they knew, abiding by the law. Highlights include:
“Nothing that happened on January 6th came remotely close to threatening our constitutional order, or from preventing Joe Biden from taking office. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying and should be forced to explain specifically how the mechanics of democracy were imperiled that day. But they never explain, they just yell louder and then they issue more indictments.”
“Where exactly is all this criminal white supremacy, this right-wing domestic terrorism that poses ‘the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland’? Where is it? It doesn’t exist.”
“Many thousands of Americans are killed each year by violence, they’re murdered, but conservatives are not the ones who are murdering them. Look it up, it’s a ludicrous lie.”
“Many of the rioters were expecting war … really, were they? Then, why didn’t they bring guns to the war? The indictment doesn’t explain that. In fact, it tells us that as January 6th approached, these ‘dangerous conspirators’ who were anticipating war agreed not to bring firearms into the District of Columbia.”
“The whole point of this exercise is to redefine any opposition to the democratic party as domestic terrorism as they face defeat in the midterm election.”
“So, how do the rest of us respond as the US government redefines people who disagree with their political beliefs as terrorists? Well, there’s really only one way and it’s a nonviolent way, it’s the essential way. Refuse to play along. Don’t pretend they’re sincere, they’re not sincere. Tell the truth. Call authoritarianism what it is.”
