“Remarkable story. We don’t know the full parameters of it, but apparently, the FBI has launched a full scale purge of supporters of Donald Trump, that would be Joe Biden’s likely opponent in the coming presidential election, and that purge has intensified significantly today,” eternal fraternity pledge and guy trying fascism on for size Tucker Carlson said on his Fox program. “So Steve Bannon just said that yesterday alone the FBI raided the homes of dozens of Trump allies. We want to get to the bottom of this.”
So to be clear: Carlson has only an allegation by a man who was just indicted yesterday on fraud charges of this alleged purge–which actually isn’t a purge because no one is being assassinated or un-personed. And they’re not “Trump allies,” Tucker; they’re called “co-conspirators.” And there are a LOT of them. But couldn’t Carlson even try to find one corroborating source? … or call the FBI to get official comment? … or do an ounce of actual reporting rather than gossip mongering?
