Biden and His Campaign Go After Tucker Carlson, Don’t Realize They’re Handing Him a Gift "As my RedState colleagues Bonchie and Streiff previously reported, Tucker Carlson is not in the mood to play the left’s hypocritical “civility” games at this critical moment in America’s history.
"He’s also not interested in backing down from the fight against cancel culture, not in the face of left-wing boycott efforts, and not in the face of Democrat mobs who are fauxfended over his pointed criticisms of Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-IL) bizarre and nonsensical comments about President Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech and her saying she’s open to listening to radicals who want to cancel our Founding Fathers.
"Duckworth is an Iraq war veteran who lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in 2004. Carlson suggesting in the aftermath of her comments about the Founding Fathers and Trump’s speech that she and other Democrats who agree with her “hate America” has led to predictable outcry and condemnations by the media, Democrats, and even some of the Usual Suspects on the right.
"The latest entrant into the Outrage Sweepstakes is, of course, the Biden campaign. Spokesman T.J. Ducklo trotted out another variation of the left’s “words are violence” argument by claiming Carlson was engaging in “hate speech masquerading as journalism”:"

Tucker Carlson Doubles Down On His Tammy Duckworth Criticism and It’s Absolutely Brutal "Tucker Carlson does not care about your outrage. That’s basically the theme that emerged as he took to the airwaves last night to address the dust up over his recent criticisms of Sen. Tammy Duckworth.

"For background, here is what led Carlson to originally question her love for America.
"This led Duckworth, who apparently had no actual defense at all for what she said, to tweet back at Carlson a reference to her losing two legs in combat. The insinuation was clear. "She’s a veteran and questioning her motives, even after she tacitly endorsed the canceling of George Washington, is off limits. The media rushed to her defense, including some on the right.
"Carlson was having none of it. He responded and doubled down on his criticism, while also including Ilhan Omar in the discussion after she stumped for tearing down the entire U.S. system yesterday. It’s an absolutely brutal take down." . . .
