Tucker Carlson says Democrats are 'fascist' for threats to jail political opponent

Wait until the Fox News host hears about Trump.

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson believes it is “fascist” to suggest a political opponent belongs in jail.

On Monday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson warned about the supposed dangers of Democrats’ threats to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee.

“These people are fascist,” Carlson proclaimed in response to footage of Reps. Jackie Speier (D-CA) and Steve Cohen (D-TN) calling for Barr to be imprisoned, a possible — but unlikely — discipline for contempt of Congress.

“Lock him up! Send him to jail!” the Fox News host said in an effort to mock these Democratic lawmakers, with no apparent sense of irony.

We have actual criminal charges to bring, try, convict and imprison. What do you have? I mean, besides a 30 year tantrum?

Barr is a criminal. He belongs in prison. It has nothing to do with politics except for how the RW nazis spin it.

... As he speaks, I will not engage with his points, because they are extremely bad, and there is no real conversation to be had about why defending a pedophile, saying you “love” the image of teen girls experimenting sexually, and calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “the biggest white whores in America” is all terrible and wrong. I may, however, point out that he looks like an angry jowl wearing a toupee, or, if he really upsets me, I may tell him that he looks exactly like someone who would be named “Tucker.”

... I will not pants him, or “accidentally” spill water on him so it looks like he wet himself, and then make everyone in the office come and look. But I will also not remove my headphones to listen to him spew hate speech, or take him up on his offer to watch his show, because life is precious and short, and there are more enjoyable things I can do with an hour, like getting a root canal. When he appears done, I may simply call him “cunty,” like he called TV host Alexis Stewart ...
