Fox News host Tucker Carlson hammered the political left Thursday evening over their reaction to the devastation inflicted on Florida by Hurricane Ian, a powerful Category 4 hurricane.
Carlson noted that “decent people” typically step back, take inventory of the moment and realize that there are more important things in life than politics when they see others suffering from natural disasters.
“The one thing you don’t do is immediately jump forward to score some sort of cheap and sleazy political point from it,” Carlson said. “That used to be obvious. But for the past several years it’s been clear it’s no longer obvious, at least to one political party. You saw this happen after the forest fires in California two years ago.”
“It happened after tornadoes killed people in Midwest last year, and it’s happening again now,” Carlson continued. “Immediately on cable television and on the floor of the legislative bodies across this country, self-described experts are demanding that you accept responsibility for whatever natural disaster has just occurred. It’s your fault, including for Hurricane Ian. You did this because you didn’t support giving Joe Biden trillions of dollars to fight climate change. So, you caused it.”
The Fox News host showed clips of multiple Left-wing news shows on CNN and MSNBC.
“Imagine taking a science lecture from someone as stupid as Stephanie Ruhle or Ali Velshi,” Carlson said. “So, on that level, it’s ridiculous and it’s also, as we just suggested, unseemly and anti-human. Of course. People are dying, so wait just a moment before putting forward your demands for more political power.”
Carlson went on to hammer CNN’s Don Lemon and several of the leftist co-hosts on ABC’s “The View.”
“It’s time to stop taking them seriously,” Carlson said. “Of course, they’re not compassionate. They don’t care about other people. What they care about is advancing the political power of the party they belong to, and if you need more evidence of that, Joy Reid went on to explain that the hurricane, the one we just saw, is not a moment to stop and reflect on the fragility of life. No, it’s another reason to keep our border open.”
“Can’t we just have a natural disaster that we accept as natural?” Carlson asked several minutes later. “That’s what they’re called natural disasters, because we didn’t cause them. They’re products of nature. God’s in charge. We’re not God.”
“But you really have to think you’re not God in order to admit that, and they think they are God,” Carlson said. “They think they’re in charge of the weather, and that’s why they just can’t give it a break. They just can’t let people die, and their deaths be observed for what they are, which is a tragedy that demands reverence, not posturing, none of their stupid political speech. But they can’t control themselves, ever.”
