Tucker Carlson: Democrats Show What It Looks Like To Destroy A Country For Political Power

September 21, 2017



FNC: In his monologue, Tucker Carlson asked what would happen if America's two main political parties "changed completely and nobody noticed." Carlson said the Democratic Party has morphed into something that bears no resemblance to what it was even 10 years ago.

"Where are the adults in the Democratic party? It used to be in the leadership but not anymore," Carlson said.

TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight. What if one of America's two great political parties changed completely and nobody noticed? We don't need to guess. It happened. While the National Press Corps stare's transfixed at the President's Twitter feed, the Democratic party has morphed into something that bears no resemblance to what it was even ten years ago.

For many decades, that party was a coalition of liberal intellectuals, the urban poor, and the country's working class. That last group kept the Democrats grounded in the vicinity of reality, but those voters are long now, and with them, the Democrats' connection to America itself. Consider the party's evolution on the question of borders, Bill Clinton ran twice against illegal immigration. He attacked it in stump speeches and in his State of the Union address. Clinton understood that without borders, you don't have a country. He also knew and repeatedly said that a flood of low-wage labor undermines the wages of American citizens, because it does.

Try making that point today. Keith Ellison will denounce you as a Nazi. Ellison is a Democratic congressman from Minnesota. This year, he was nearly elected Chairman of the DNC. He's not a fringe character, and yet the other day, he announced that opposing illegal immigration in any way is morally on par with aiding Hitler.

KEITH ELLISON, MINNESOTA CONGRESSMAN: I'm one of the people who believe that we should give our neighbor sanctuary. And if you ask yourself what would happen if I was a gentile in 1941, if my Jewish neighbors were under attack by the Nazis. Would I give them sanctuary? You might be about to find out what you would do. Would you pass that moral test or would you fail it?

CARLSON: So if you think we ought to enforce the immigration laws, Congress itself passed, Congressman Ellison believes you are evil. When did Democratic politicians start talking like this? Maybe around the time Congresswoman Maxine Waters of Los Angeles became a folk hero on the left. In a recent appearance, Waters explained that the Trump administration isn't simply wrong on the issues, it's a front for the Klan.

MAXINE WATERS, LOS ANGELES CONGRESSWOMAN: I'm cleaning out the White House. This person who does not respect you, this dishonorable human being who cheats everybody, this dishonorable human being who will lie at the drop of a hat, this dishonorable human being who has the alt-right and the KKK and everybody else inside his cabinet. I'm going to say impeach 45 every day, impeach 45 every day.

CARLSON: That's not political rhetoric, it's a war cry. it's incitement to hysteria and maybe worse. If you really thought the Ku Klux Klan control the White House, what would you do? What wouldn't you do? Where are the adults in the Democratic party? It used to be they were in leadership, but not anymore. Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful Democrat in the House of Representatives, she was once a speaker, if you remember, she may soon be again. Pelosi isn't just tolerant of illegal immigration, she's now explicitly encouraging it. Watch this.

NANCY PELOSI, MINORITY LEADER, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: The list goes on and on about how we want to advance and protect the Dreamers until we can pass the bill. Their families did a great thing for our country, bringing these kids here who are working, who are in the military, who are in school, who are a brilliant part of our future.

CARLSON: Breaking our laws is now a great thing says one of our country's chief lawmakers. People who ignore the legislation, Congress writes, should be congratulated for it, says one of Congress' top leaders. That's more than perverse, this is what it looks like when the people in charge of a country decide to destroy it. Their motive? it's always the same, political power. They lost it, they want it back. Even if it means hurting the people they are sworn to protect. Democrats alienated the middle of the country during the Obama years but they have no plans to convince those voters to return.

Instead, they plan to replace them with new and more reliable voters from abroad and damn the consequences for the rest of us. That's why they are far more upset about DACA than they are about the Opioid crisis. It's why they care more about preventing a border wall than they do about raising the wages of American workers. It's not complicated. What's amazing is they are now saying it out loud.
