Tucker Carlson: Peaceful assembly is suddenly a crime depending upon who you voted for

Tucker Carlson examines the Democrats' hypocrisy in their response to political dissent.

What would you call an event like this? There’s really no other word for it: it's an insurrection. It is a planned uprising against our elected government. In fact, it is an attack on democracy itself, maybe the most organized attack since the Civil War and September 11. If you’ve been paying attention for the past year – eleven months to the day in fact – you probably assume our elected officials vehemently oppose this. They’re against insurrections. In fact, at this point, insurrections are the main thing they’re against. Their whole job is to oppose insurrection. 

Nancy Pelosi tells us that every day. So does Liz Cheney. But not in this case. It turns out that some insurrections are just fine – it all depends on who is planning on insurrecting. Just today, Nancy’s Pelosi’s top bodyguard, William J. Walker, the House Sergeant at Arms, issued a statement describing tomorrow’s insurrection as the "shut down the capitol" event; this is the "city-wide first amendment demonstration." No big deal, implied Walker, just a group of political extremists coming to shut down the United States Congress while it’s in session. Not a threat.
