Fox News host Tucker Carlson had an interesting message for his viewers on Memorial Day: The U.S. military doesn’t always seem interested in protecting the American people and the country.
Mediate reports that Carlson was broadcasting from the set of “Tucker Carlson Today,” his show on the Fox Nation streaming service when he suddenly declared:
“So much has changed in the United States in the past year that it’s hard to keep track of it all. Public health experts have been exposed as frauds, as incompetent and dishonest. Our schools are openly teaching racism to our children. Our military, at times, does not seem interested in protecting the country. These are big changes with real ramifications.”
Following Michael Flynn’s supporting a coup, Tucker Carlson’s Memorial Day message: “Our military, at times, does not seem interested in protecting the country.”
Which counts as… patriotism?pic.twitter.com/bYlxW9FDr2

Kamala Harris was pummeled for a tweet wishing everyone to enjoy the long weekend without saying anything about the troops; Tucker Carlson sits relaxed at the end of a long weekend and casually accuses the troops of betraying their country

What in the world is that about? Granted, Carlson has been criticizing mask mandates since the COVID pandemic began and often attacks the American educational system, but since when is the military not protecting the country?
Carlson was immediately hit with a reality check on social media:
Negativity about the military started when the JCS came out and said they weren’t going to support Trump’s coup.
So now the military are “black hat” enforcing tyranny and infected by the other side’s politics.
So violence against them is now ok
It’s horrifying

Are we seeing the beginning of the @GOP actively speaking out against our troops? Lyin’ @tedcruz did it a few days back, Klansman @tuckercarlson today and of course the failed former guy who lost the 2020 presidential election by a 306-232 electoral landslide insulted them.

More dog whistles to the base. If the coup movement can swing the military, we are in for a bumpy ride

There are so many things wrong with what Tucker just said. His military service is what again? What gives him the right to question their patriotism?

While most Americans today are thinking about the brave sacrifices made over the years by our service men & women, this what we get from Tucker Carlson over at the “bullshit factory”
The word disgraceful doesn’t seem to adequately describe this.@votevets @FoxNews

America’s military put their lives on the line every day to protect little Tucker’s first amendment rights to spew this BS.

If Tucker doubts the loyalty and dedication of the American troops, maybe it’s time for him to move to Moscow and never return.
