Carlson: Indicting Trump Is Worse Than The Capitol Riot

The Hill reports:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the indictment of former president Trump by a New York grand jury on Thursday was a bigger assault on the American system of government than the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by the former president’s supporters.

“If you believe in our system and you want it to continue, you have to raise your hand and say stop, because this is too great an assault on our system, much greater than anything we saw on January 6th, that’s for certain,” Carlson said. “This is transparently political, it’s meant to take him out of the presidential race. That’s not allowed.”

Carlson has separately faced widespread criticism for is framing of the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6. which he described earlier this month as “mostly peaceful chaos.”
