Tucker Carlson\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49941\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t seen a second of it. Yet his moron-ologue was filled with the hostility of a wounded predator on crack. Carlson raged that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you are watching this right now, you are missing a rare prime-time address from Joe Biden. Biden doesn&#8217;t give a lot of those for obvious reasons, but tonight&#8217;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&#8217;s not coming from barefoot religious extremists living in caves. It&#8217;s not the Chinese government. It&#8217;s not even Vladimir Putin, himself, the most diabolically evil man in history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, ladies and gentlemen, this threat is worse than all of that, and it&#8217;s home grown. As they say in the horror movies, it&#8217;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&#8217;s speech.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The host of the most-watched cable news show in the country is telling his viewers that Joe Biden wants to destroy every one of them. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BeIvwUDK5n\">pic.twitter.com\/BeIvwUDK5n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kat Abu (@abughazalehkat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abughazalehkat\/status\/1565490889140707328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54226\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tucker Carlson Actually Tells the Truth: White Supremacists = Trump Supporters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson didn&#8217;t (couldn&#8217;t) cite a single passage from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/09\/01\/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Biden&#8217;s speech<\/a><\/strong>. 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&#8217;s promise and his confidence in its future. He couldn&#8217;t have heard Biden praise free speech, even that of a heckler cussing at him through a bullhorn.<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>&#8220;all 75 million&#8221;<\/em> Republican voters, when he explicitly clarified that it was a small faction of the GOP&#8217;s extreme right wing. Biden clearly specified that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Too much of what\u2019s 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\u2019ve 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are hard things. But I\u2019m an American President \u2014 not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America. And I believe it is my duty \u2014 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.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden: The Republican party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the Maga Republicans and that is a threat to this country\u2026 Maga Republicans do not respect the constitution.
