Fox News host Tucker Carlson was accused of projection after a monologue on Thursday in which he attacked President Joe Biden’s administration and warned that “weak people in power” are destroying society.
“First, you must imagine in your mind that the villain who destroys society – a wild spit-flecked dictator who shakes the podium, asking to destroy his enemies,” said the self-deceited liar.
“It’s the Hollywood version, but in real life, people like that are very rare. They are very obvious,” Carlson continued. “You’re not a cartoon demon to worry about. It is a weak person in a position of power. They are the most dangerous. People who have no principles but a desire to protect themselves, hollow people who live in terror will be revealed for who they really are, people who will do anything to save themselves. That should be feared. And you can see it in our moment now. The weakest are the most destructive.”
Carlson attacked some Democrats as “sad, insecure, broken men filled with the envy and hatred of a lonely little boy.” “He hates you because he hates himself. That’s not masculinity. This is his weakness,” he added.
Carlson has been increasingly in the spotlight in recent weeks amid the release of court filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News.
The company sued the conservative network after its hosts made unsubstantiated claims about the machines flipping the 2020 election against Donald Trump.
In a text message released as part of court documents, Carlson called for his Fox News colleague to be fired after he verified a tweet from Trump for accuracy. Carlson expressed concern about the company’s declining stock price.
