Tucker Carlson: Unsafe cities, divisive mainstream media the real legacy of George Floyd's death

CNN and MSNBC are treating the George Floyd trial like the Super Bowl, and it's obvious why.

But CNN's control room cut to a legal analyst who assured viewers the pause was only temporary. This isn't 'Law & Order,'" the analyst explained. "It won't all be wrapped up in fifty-five minutes. This could go on a while." In other words, stay in your seats. Don't turn away. The trial may be boring, but it's important. It's not about George Floyd, obviously; it never was. No one on CNN cared about George Floyd while he was alive. He was unemployed and on drugs. Like a lot of people in this country, they paid him no attention. For that matter, no one on CNN actually cares about George Floyd now. What they care about is you and your role in the systemic racism that supposedly killed George Floyd. If the Floyd trial ends in acquittal, there could be riots. We accept that as a fact of life in this country. No civilized country should, but suddenly we do. If there are riots, innocent people may die, as they did in large numbers this summer. CNN will downplay those deaths or justify them as they did this summer and as they have so many times before when those deaths are politically convenient. The point isn't to save people from dying. The point is to punish you and to change America. So from that perspective, it's worth it.
