Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Tuesday that the Department of Justice was not just after former President Donald Trump, but also those who voted for him.
“In Manhattan tomorrow, what will certainly be an overwhelmingly liberal grand jury will meet and unless something unexpected happens, Democrats will have taken the unprecedented step of using a corrupt justice system to take out the front-runner in the Republican presidential field in a presidential race. And if that happens, America will never be the same,” Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, said in his show’s opening monologue.
“A thousand people have already been arrested and most of them did what Jacob Chansley did. They walked through what we used to call the People’s House, some of them are still in prison tonight,” Carlson said. “So you assume that ugly story was over, at least the law enforcement component of that, but no, it’s not over, it’s just getting started. The Biden administration has identified 1,000 additional Trump voters for non-crimes that they claim took place on Jan. 6, mostly walking, as Jacob Chansley did. In recent months, according to a story in The Washington Post, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, a willing tool of the Biden administration, has written to court officials alerting them that an additional 700 to 1200 people may be charged in relation to Jan. 6.”
