Fox News host Tucker Carlson held his trademarked mouth-agape, “I’m trying hard to understand” look for a full 17 seconds before claiming falsely that Loudoun County police moved in to silence speech they didn’t like from Jon Tigges (more on him below)–not that the group had stayed in a public building long after the meeting ended.
“Then they got this stooge cops, who should be ashamed of themselves, to arrest you for the crime of saying something they didn’t like,” Carlson said after his brain cell rebooted.
Jon Tigges, who runs a bed-and-breakfast, wedding venue and vineyard called Zion Springs in Hamilton, Virginia, is (at best) a conservative operative and (at worst) a con man who is trying to bilk money from people to support his struggling business.
Tigges started a GoFundMe page to help finance a lawsuit against Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to lift coronavirus public health restrictions. He stated in court testimony that his business, Zion Springs, was on the verge of failure in the year before the pandemic in a lawsuit he brought in June 2020. Tigges lost an emergency injunction to suspend public health regulations about gatherings and masks put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic. He has apparently decided it is more lucrative to be a conservative grievance professional and expanded into transexual students and Critical Race Theory.
