Tucker Carlson Already Pushing Stolen Election Conspiracy Theories About 2024

 

Tucker Carlson

Fired Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson went live on X following President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday night and quickly declared Democrats “are going to steal the election” from Donald Trump in 2024.

“Joe Biden can’t win in a fair election. Joe Biden will lose in November. He cannot win. That’s the thing that nobody in any media wants to say out loud. In a fair election, Joe Biden cannot win,” Carlson said some twenty minutes into his livestream.

“So they’re saying the opposite,” Carlson continued, playing a clip from MSNBC praising Biden.

“This seems like a weirdly like, counterintuitive hot take, even though it’s the most obvious thing you could say, which is that Joe Biden is good at politics. Like Joe Biden is good at politics. He’s very good at politics. Like he, the man really does know what he’s doing. And you really see it in those sort of situations,” says MSNBC host Chris Hayes in the clip, which is somehow meant to illustrate the media knows Biden has no chance and will therefore steal the election.

Carlson replied in a mocking tone, “Joe Biden is just really good at politics. It’s the one thing he’s really good at, really?!”

“If Joe Biden is so good at politics, why is he losing to Donald Trump, who the rest of us were assured was a retarded racist who no normal person would vote for? But now Joe Biden is getting stomped by Donald Trump, but he’s also at the same time good at politics, right? Chris Hayes, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous lesbian in television,” Carlson continued, adding:

So again, they can’t win, but they’re not giving up. So what does that tell you? Well, they’re going to steal the election, and we know they’re going to steal the election because they’re now saying so out loud. Here is the attorney general of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer of this country in Selma, Alabama, just the other day. Listen to this.

Carlson then played a clip of Attorney General Merrick Garland warning Republicans want “to implement discriminatory, burdensome and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of dropboxes and voter ID requirements.”

“That is why we are working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans that dilute the vote of Black voters and other voters of color,” Garland added, noting Democrats are working to under gerrymandering that strips Black communities of representation.

Carlson reacted, “Did you catch that? Of course, you are a racist. That’s always the takeaway.”

“But consider the details of what the attorney general of the United States just said. Mail-in balloting, drop boxes, voter ID requirements. The chief law enforcement officer of the United States government is telling you that it’s immoral, in fact, racist, in fact illegal to ask people for their IDs when they vote to verify they are who they say they are,” Carlson continued, adding:

What is that? Well, no one ever talks about this, but the justification for it is that somehow people of color, Black people, don’t have state-issued IDs. Somehow they’re living in a country where you can do virtually nothing without proving your identity with a government-issued ID, without government-issued IDs.

While perfectly reasonable to debate the merits of voter ID laws, Carlson ignores that after dozens of audits following the 2020 election, all of Trump’s allegations of voter fraud were found to be baseless. Audit after audit found that the current system did not allow for voter fraud on scale to impact the outcome of the election.

Watch the clip above.
