As Americans, we have the right to be outraged by the latest move by the Biden administration and the Department of Justice to target Trump voters. Fox News host Tucker Carlson spoke out against this injustice in his show’s opening monologue on Tuesday. He said that the DOJ was “not just after former President Donald Trump, but also those who voted for him.”
The DOJ has identified 1,000 additional Trump voters for non-crimes that they claim took place on Jan. 6. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves has written to court officials alerting them that an additional 700 to 1200 people may be charged in relation to Jan. 6. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg planned a meeting with law enforcement to coordinate the arrest, according to Fox News.
“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.”
Later in the segment, Carlson added:
“You’ve got to hope that for the sake of the country, the Biden White House, which will be running against Trump, will put the country above partisanship and stop this. Merrick Garland at DoJ will issue every public statement saying that this is wrong, which it is, and therefore preserve for our grandchildren our justice system,” Carlson said. “As of tonight, it doesn’t seem to be happening. In fact, as of tonight, it’s not just Trump, who is the target of this. It’s Trump’s voters.”
This move by the Biden administration and the Department of Justice is a clear attack on our democracy and our rights as citizens. It is an attempt to silence those who disagree with them by targeting Trump voters with baseless charges. This is not only wrong, but it is a direct violation of our rights as citizens.
