Tucker Carlson shared his reaction to Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech at the DNC, expressing a sentiment that he believes many Americans share—he finds her “really scary.”
During a discussion with sports columnist Jason Whitlock, Carlson commented on Harris’ speech as it was happening.
Harris stated: “Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again. Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol. His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy.”
Carlson responded, “Can I just interject here for a second? This woman’s really scary.”
He went on to say, “She could easily get elected President. She’s much more skillful than I have ever seen. She’s a liar on the deepest level. The things she is saying right now are not just untrue. They’re the opposite of the truth, which is the hallmark of evil. She’s an extremist. She’ll say anything. She’s much more like Gavin Newsom than I ever realized.”
Carlson challenged Harris’ portrayal of the Capitol riot, stating, “It wasn’t an armed mob. There’s not one person inside the Capitol with a firearm, period. The only person who was shot in the Capitol was an unarmed woman, shot by one of Nancy Pelosi’s bodyguards.”
Whitlock added, “She argued that Donald Trump, quote, ‘tried to throw away your votes.’ Didn’t the Democrat Party just throw away all the votes and install her?”
Carlson agreed, highlighting what he sees as contradictions in Harris’ stance on law enforcement and crime: “She’s saying that Donald Trump will free from prison violent extremists, meaning 75-year-old, lower-middle-class women with diabetes, when she endorsed defunding the police and opening the prisons to allow actual criminals out.”
Carlson criticized Harris further, saying, “She’s got no reference points in the truth, and she’s an extremist. She’s a former prosecutor, and no former prosecutor should hold power, period. I’ve covered them my whole life. I’ve intensely disliked every single one of them for good reason. I think they’re scary, they’re liars, and they’re megalomaniacal, and they put people in prison for political reasons. I’ve seen it again and again and again, and she’s one of them.”
