Nothing that Biden said could be coherently described as <em>&#8220;desecrating the memory of recently murdered children.&#8221;<\/em> Nor was it <em>&#8220;dividing the country,&#8221;<\/em> that is united in support of the reforms that Biden and Democrats in Congress have proposed. But Carlson was just getting started:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What a moment this would\u2019ve been if he had stopped a sentence in and said we\u2019re gonna pray for these families and let\u2019s let this marinate for a minute. Let\u2019s stand respectfully before a tragedy. And Joe Biden has lived tragedy so he can say that with some credibility. He moved immediately into some DNC rant off a cue card. That\u2019s the president?\u201d [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo stand before the image of murdered children, and your first impulse is, &#8216;I can be more powerful if only I leverage this in the right way.&#8217; I am in shock having seen the president on the United States call for more power for himself. That is his answer?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Carlson&#8217;s solution is to <em>&#8220;let this marinate for a minute&#8221;<\/em>? Whatever that means. And he continues to accuse Biden of having ulterior motives of securing <em>&#8220;more power for himself.&#8221;<\/em> However, Carlson never explains how enacting common sense gun reforms that are broadly popular makes Biden more powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson&#8217;s guest, Fox and Friends co-host Will Cain, complained that funds were spent on Ukraine and COVID that should be used on <em>&#8220;protecting schools&#8221;<\/em> instead. Seriously? The shooting in Texas was unquestionably horrendous. But comparing tragedies to one another is the province of a sick mind. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in Ukraine and millions of people have become refugees in this battle for democracy. As for COVID, which Carlson has dismissed as a distraction or a hoax, the United States recently passed the one million mark of fatalities. A decent and humane country has a heart big enough to care for all of these matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49069\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tucker Carlson of Fox News Says \u2018Vaccines Don\u2019t Work and They\u2019re Not Telling You\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/05\/24\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-school-shooting-in-uvalde-texas\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">speech<\/a><\/strong> that Carlson was <em>&#8220;shocked&#8221;<\/em> by, Biden showed compassion and commitment to stemming the epidemic of gun violence.
