On Thursday night President Biden delivered an address that was intended to alert the nation to the threat of right-wing extremism as embodied in Donald Trump and his MAGA cult. So predictably, the knee-jerk, anti-Biden brigades were out in force to lambaste him, mostly for things he never said.

At the front of the line was Tucker Carlson of Fox News. He began his harangue even before Biden began speaking, so he obviously hadn’t seen a second of it. Yet his moron-ologue was filled with the hostility of a wounded predator on crack. Carlson raged that…
“If you are watching this right now, you are missing a rare prime-time address from Joe Biden. Biden doesn’t give a lot of those for obvious reasons, but tonight’s topic is worthy of the occasion. America is under attack. And not from our usual enemies. The threat we face tonight is existential, but it’s not coming from barefoot religious extremists living in caves. It’s not the Chinese government. It’s not even Vladimir Putin, himself, the most diabolically evil man in history.
“No, ladies and gentlemen, this threat is worse than all of that, and it’s home grown. As they say in the horror movies, it’s coming from inside the house. The single gravest threat to America today is Republican voters, all 75 million of them. They are Nazis and destroyers of democracy. They must be stopped. That is the message of Joe Biden’s speech.”

Carlson didn’t (couldn’t) cite a single passage from Biden’s speech. Not having seen any of it will cause that sort of omission. And yet, he spoke as if he had watched the whole thing and had something relevant to say about it. But he could not have heard any of the numerous times that Biden expressed his optimism about America’s promise and his confidence in its future. He couldn’t have heard Biden praise free speech, even that of a heckler cussing at him through a bullhorn.
However, the real message for the speech was the peril presented by what Biden calls Trump or MAGA Republicans. Carlson blatantly lied when he said that Biden had attacked “all 75 million” Republican voters, when he explicitly clarified that it was a small faction of the GOP’s extreme right wing. Biden clearly specified that…
“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. Now, I want to be very clear, very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”
“These are hard things. But I’m an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America. And I believe it is my duty — my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful. And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.”

As usual, Carlson and Fox News don’t bother to connect their bonehead blather to reality. Their mission has always been to viciously malign Democrats and the majority of progressive Americans with rancid hostility and overt hatred in order to divide the nation. And the people who are now accusing Biden of being divisive, are the same people who have been for years calling him a senile Marxist who wants to destroy the country. Then they demand that we unite with them? Yeah, right!

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
Fact is, you can’t reason with wild animals that disguise as humans such as one animal with the name, Carlson Tucker…. all of the GQP are nothing but a group of wild, dangerous animals. Their mental capacity is very limited as their tiny brains are so small an electron microscope is needed to see it.. That is a good description of what Carlson Tucker is. . The only way to stop Tucker and all of the GQP is round all of them up and place them in cages and ship them off to Siberia. Let Putin have them as pets and feed them plenty of good dog food to keep them healthy. They sure as hell do not belong in the United States, they are extremely dangerous. Send their deranged voters over there with them..
Being serious now, i am totally apalled at the mental health of these people that believe what Fox Spews says on a daily basis. With the sheer number of people in the TUMP cult, the United States has a very severe mental health crisis. This crisis could be the end of our Democracy and is a very serious problem here in the United States. The middle term election could very well determine the future of the United States. A large Democratic voter turnout is crucial to our future.
Exactly how are people “dominated, driven, and intimidated” by tfg? I, for one do not see a charismatic leader. I see a fat former game show host who dyes his hair blonde, uses bronzer on his face, uses heel elevators. Is a fake in every other way. Most importantly, he is a criminal.
Great comment, Guest, i don’t understand why people are intimidated by TFG. What i see in him is a fat pig faced baboon that babbles lies out of his facial anus and thinks everyone is scared of him. I for one, am not a bit afraid of him. Recently, i know of a guy that is also an actor that saw him in person going into a building in New York city, his name is Michael R****port and he makes videos of himself ranting about how awful TFG is. He saw TFG and lit in to him calling him names and just before TFG entered the building he yelled to TFG, ” We don’t won’t you here, go away you fat pig” TFG gave him a very angry look and didn’t say a word. I know TFG wanted to confront him. I love it when that guy calls TFG ”Dick Stain Donald TUMP”. That dude cracks me up in his harsh words about TFG. I love it….
