El Salvador President: They’d Kill Carlson If They Could

Breitbart reports:

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, published a message of support to journalist Tucker Carlson on social media late Monday following Fox News’ abrupt announcement that day that its most popular anchor would no longer work there.

Bukele suggested that Carlson would soon face a “smear” campaign and attempted censorship as “they” could not kill him without facing a significant public outcry. Bukele did not identify, either in the social media post or the attached video, who he considered to constitute “they.”

Bukele explained that he feels “safer” from assassination by expressing himself freely and thus making himself a more problematic person to “eliminate,” and suggested that Carlson had also reached such a level that censorship and “smears” are more effective than violence.
