Tucker Carlson with Fox News was one of the only members of big media I’ve seen addressing the violent attack against a pregnancy crisis center back in June in Buffalo New York. The FBI took the footage from the center but the investigation seemingly ended there. Meanwhile, the FBI raided the home of a pro-life activist.
Priorities…
“We didn’t used to have FBI raids on the basis of alleged misdemeanors in this country. Now we do if you vote the wrong way. But at the same time the FBI is all but ignoring violence committed against people who don’t vote for Joe Biden. In June, criminals fire-bombed a pro-life pregnancy center in Buffalo, a place called Compass Care Pregnancy Service,” Carlson said. “The people that did this, the bombers, have not been caught. Why? Because the FBI has not even bothered to investigate a fire bombing.”
“Now, local police and the feds took surveillance footage from the center, but they didn’t do anything with it, but they didn’t give it back to the center. The center is suing to get it back. Then the attorney for the local police told the crisis pregnancy center they can’t have their own tapes back because those tapes might inspire right-wing violence,” Carlson continued. “Are you following the logic here? It’s completely insane. It’s utterly politicized law enforcement. It’s the deepest level of corruption. It’s totally unacceptable. You can’t have a country run like this.”
Since the leak of the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, dozens of crisis pregnancy centers and prolife groups have been vandalized or otherwise attacked. The Supreme Court upheld Mississippi’s law that imposed restrictions on abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy in a 6-3 ruling.
Carlson introduced the Rev. James Harden, president and CEO of Compass Care Pregnancy Services, the firebombed pregnancy center.
“I know it sounds dystopian, but that’s exactly what’s happening. We’re facing essentially a moral hurricane in our country. The FBI has gone from abdicating their duty to provide equal justice under the law to pro-life people like us, to downright attacking us. That was our concern when we filed suit against the Amherst police department taking charge of the investigation to get our video back so we can start to prosecute whoever the perpetrators are,” Harden said. “We came out … I was concerned that they would engage in character assassination. That is the FBI. That would be their next step. Over 70 attacks on pro-life organizations across the country, zero arrests. I mean, look, it’s naive to think that the largest law enforcement agency on the globe, with the best forensics technology known to man doesn’t know not a single person who’s engaging in these attacks.”
“You can’t allow fire bombings in your country, period. Congress should shut the FBI down over this,” Carlson said.
Watch
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), along with a group of his fellow Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter demanding answers from the Department of Justice and FBI for the aggressive dawn raid on the home of a pro-life advocate, Mark Houck, in Pennsylvania last week. More than two dozen federal agents, some using ballistics shields and long guns, arrived to arrest the pro-life advocate on Friday, September 23, for an incident that occurred nearly a year prior and for which local authorities dismissed all charges.
Thus far, that letter has been ignored.
Just to explain just how ridiculous this is, the case used to raid his home that was dropped by local law enforcement; Houck offered to turn himself in several times before the raid.
