You're VERY wrong on that. Carlson may be conservative, but he goes after anybody he feels is wrong. He's put Trump on blast many times.
If you're actually objective at all, he's one if the better commentaries on cable news.
Nevermind, he’s calling the Houston Police Chief a creep for saying immigrants “built this city” and saying “his people” need to continue to take a stand.
I can’t watch Carlson without watching this clip of Jon Stewart and Carlson on Crossfire.
Crossfire was cancelled shortly after.

Yes, he can. The Enforcement Acts.
I was sent to LA riots in 92 from Ft Ord under Enforcement Act.
Both legal analysts on CNN and Fox News stated the President can not deploy military to a state unless that state governor requests it.
provisions were used by Eisenhower during the Little Rock integration of students though.
CNN just had a retired LT. General who said the same.

There are a number of situations in which the Act does not apply. These include:
- National Guard units, state defense forces, and naval militias[15] while under the authority of the governor of a state. However, only the National Guard can be federalized under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which shifts control from the state governor to the President, making them subject to the PCA as well.
- Federal troops used in accordance to the Insurrection Act, as was the case with the 1st Marine Division and 7th Infantry Division being sent to curtail the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
- Under 18 U.S.C. § 831, the Attorney General may request that the Secretary of Defense provide emergency assistance if domestic law enforcement is inadequate to address certain types of threats involving the release of nuclear materials, such as potential use of a nuclear or radiological weapon. Such assistance may be by any personnel under the authority of the Department of Defense, provided such assistance does not adversely affect U.S. military preparedness. The only exemption is the deployment of nuclear materials on the part of the United States Armed Forces.
- Support roles under the Joint Special Operations Command.
- Provide surveillance, intelligence gathering, observation, and equipment for domestic law enforcement on operations such as drug interdiction and counter-terrorism missions.
He totally went after Trump for not addressing this sooner. If you didn't hear it that way, then you were intentionally trying not to listen to what he was saying.
What was the opinion of you and your fellow soldiers being deployed to LA? I wasn’t old enough to even know it was happening.
Sounds like you want Trump to be weak like the Dem Governors - Just Say "Please, Please, Please, Please, Please , Please stop being thugs, thieves, arsonist, looters....Please, Please, Please, Please, Please"
I didn’t check this one beyond seeing another clip of the same guy/gas mask breaking windows of stores and a black woman attempting to dissuade him. Also saw several white men throwing things. As far as twitter goes the platform doesn’t determine the validity of the content, all of them are vulnerable to lies. However twitter is trump’s choice so you may have a point.
Wait, you think him showing some empathy is going to stop these idiots from blocking highways and torching buildings? As if the Floyd killing and the looting/destruction are connected. Pffft. Come on. These idiots looting and destroying property don't care about justice, all they'e doing is living out their suburban anarchist fantasy derived from watching The Purge and playing video games in mommy's basement.
She gets kudos for that? Her assistant tweeted that lmao why do words carry so much weight during times like this
It was honestly surreal.
My initial reactions were:
1. After some of the weapons we gathered from raids, the citizens were better armed than we were...outside of tanks and claymores.
2. Fear, but not in the way one would think. We were under to not engage unless engaged orders. If engaged, we were allowed to defend ourselves...which usually means lethal force. My fear was happens if a child or adolescent points a fake gun at me? You can't just assume either way...
Seeing how all of that unfolded on American soil is just hard to explain. It was definitely an uncomfortable deployment.
Empathy is an important skill for a leader to have. If you don’t know what that word means(it is 3 syllables I’m sorry), look it up in a dictionary.
Seems like the Enforcement Act has to do with protecting the rights of Black people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfor...s were three,receive equal protection of laws.
Yes, the words that the President of our country uses matter a lot. Showing empathy for people or threatening to send the dogs, I wonder which message comes across better?
Why do words matter when most major cities are having protests?
I’m not sure that’s a serious question. How do you think most leaders of developed nations handle civil unrest? With words or with the military?
What trump is doing isn’t right. He has mishandled this situation. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with this on a national scale. We should pray for our country.
Ok..specifically, the Insurrection Act. As stated, it has been employed before.
Two guys defending their business the same way I would defend my home. They could vote either way (probably republican or non-voters). That's not really who I'm referring to. I'm thinking about the McMichaels of the world who are gonna see an opportunity to gun down some people.
I’m not advocating for military force. How you made that assumption from my words is unclear to me. I’ll like to see the statistics on how many rioters stay home now due to the first lady’s tweet though. The famous expression “talk is cheap” is a famous expression for a reason.
So You think Trump (& all of us) should have Empathy for the Thugs, Thieves, Looters, and Arsonist that are destroying US city's? They are destroying people's lives...
Bwahahahahahaha, you beleive that BS? Give us a link. Not some Twitter Antifa douche, a real link.
Never said it would fix all the problems, but yes, putting out a positive message will do more to help the situation than what The Don has done.
Trump just tear gassed and shot rubber bullets at peaceful protestors on live tv outside the White House while awkwardly holding up a Bible in front of a church.
He’s not just trying to silence the looters, he’s harming innocent civilians as well.
It’s such a head scratching thing to me. Someone is suddenly vindicated because they type something into their phone. All I see all day every day are empty words and reposts. If I don’t put anything on twitter am I part of the problem? If that’s the case I think I’m gonna hang it up with social media.
this isn’t supposed to be aimed at you, Dicktales, I’m just getting frustrated with some of the virtue signaling I see around SM.
Unproven is not the same as disproven I’ll withhold further comment until verification one way or another.
as the peaceful DC protesters burn down a church.
If you think they are only going after looters and rioters you are severely naive. That is just the words they are choosing to use in place of "all protesters".
You should have grown up in the 60's with all of your idealism dicktales. You would have had a blast.
You are making sh!t up again (3rd time today) - I watched the entire thing. Its like you want something to be true so bad that you pretend it happened.
