Incendiary commentary has become a daily ritual at Fox News. When they aren’t justifying Donald Trump’s delusional allegations of an allegedly \u201cstolen\u201d<\/em> election that already incited insurrectionist riots on Capitol Hill on January 6th, they are fomenting fear of a “socialist”<\/em> take over that will put an end to freedom in America once and for all.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

No one on Fox News has been more determined to spread dread to his dimwitted viewers than Tucker Carlson. He has fear mongered about “dirty”<\/em> immigrants “invading”<\/em> the United States and overwhelming \u201ctraditional\u201d<\/em> Americans<\/a><\/strong> (the White Replacement Theory). Carlson has also stirred paranoid panic with dangerously false disinformation about the COVID pandemic<\/a><\/strong> and the common sense methods of mitigating harm via masks and vaccines. He even went so far as to encourage his followers to report parents whose children wear face masks<\/a><\/strong> to the police as child abusers.<\/p>\n

On Monday night Carlson took another step over the cliff of crackpottery by arguing that violent revolution is justified if President Biden doesn’t apologize for successfully ending the twenty year long war in Afghanistan. Carlson was terribly disturbed that he hadn’t seen anybody in the Biden administration take responsibility for the sometimes messy evacuation from a war zone that was entirely predictable.<\/p>\n

Of course, Biden himself had explicitly told the American people that he assumed full responsibility for anything that happens on his watch. But that clear and concise message was too complicated for Carlson to grasp. So he unleashed this bit of asininity:<\/p>\n

“This can’t go on. When leaders refuse to hold themselves accountable over time, people revolt. That happens. We need to change course immediately and start acknowledging our mistakes. The people who made them need to start acknowledging them or else the consequences will be awful.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
