Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson sat for an interview with his old network colleague-turned-SiriusXM podcaster Megyn Kelly on Monday and dropped a bombshell prediction when the subject turned to former President Donald Trump potentially being convicted and jailed on charges that are “not real.”
Specifically, Carlson predicted widespread violence if that happens.
“This is one of the reasons why I said if this judge [Chutkan] in DC… because we assume Trump’s gonna get convicted in that case, I mean, the smart bet would be this DC jury convicts him because they hate them politically. 92% voted for Joe Biden. And she hates him,” Kelly began.
“If she puts him in jail, pending appeal before the election, the country’s going to burn. And then all this blowback, ‘Oh my god. She’s calling for violence.’ I’m not calling for violence,” she added. “But there is no way that Trump base is not going to be beside itself with anger at that level of deprivation of being able to simply vote for the candidate of choice. That’s what’s being taken away here.”
Carlson said in response: “Speaking of violence, that’s what you’re gonna get. And speaking as someone who detests violence… If you leave people no alternative, then what do you think is going to happen? The whole point of electoral democracy is that it’s a pressure relief valve that takes people who are very frustrated with the way things are going and gives them a way to express themselves, have their desires heard, and ultimately, their will done to be represented in a peaceful way.
“And if you take that away, if you have staged an unfair election, which 2020 was — if you suppress information that voters need to make an informed decision, you’re rigging the election, and they did that,” he continued.
“So if you keep doing that, and people are like, ‘Wait, I have no economic power, you’ve devalued my currency, so it’s like $11 for a dozen eggs, and my vote doesn’t matter anymore. Well, then what do I have? Like what power do I have?’” Carlson went on. “And you’re gonna get violence if you keep the shit up. And that’s just the truth.
“And I am very upset about that, I don’t want that to happen. I think the counter-violence will be much more extreme than the violence. But any rational person can see what’s coming. So they have to stop this,” he said.
“The charges against Trump are not real. They’re not even for serious crimes. I was told Trump was like a murderer and had killed a bunch of people in New Jersey or something. He didn’t even cheat on his taxes. And they’re treating him like a felon at the same time. Like they protect Epstein until they have to murder him in his cell. It’s insane and it’s all on public display. Everybody knows what’s going on. So I do think the people in charge the people were pulling the strings on Tanya Chutkan in or whatever these ridiculous front people they hire. Those people need to really think this through a little bit. You’re about to wreck the country. Don’t do this, please,” he concluded.
