Tucker takes a flamethrower to Hunter Biden after sweetheart deal, torches KJP too

June 21, 2023 | | Print Article

Untethered Tucker Carlson took to Twitter Tuesday to rip apart the “secular miracle” of Hunter Biden’s reported plea deal and related it to the broader cultural issue in America

“What we’re watching…is the total inversion of virtue.”

Without the constraints of a cable news network, Carlson didn’t wait long to deliver his reaction to the news that President Joe Biden’s son had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts, likely to see his federal gun charge dismissed.

The outcome from a Justice Department that has overseen the perceived persecution of political opposition for an administration that relies on the likes of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to maintain messaging was not wholly surprising.

“What we’re watching through Hunter Biden’s life and through the Biden administration, now entering its third year, is the total inversion of virtue,” the former Fox News host surmised.

“What was once considered admirable is now derided as stupid, if not racist — that would include achievement, intelligence, honesty, self control, humility,” he continued. “Those are features of the old America; those were yesterday’s virtues, they are gone. In their place, all that we once considered contemptible and repulsive. We’re told to worship that now.”

Compared to the “predawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN” against former President Donald Trump, Biden is not only getting off relatively scot-free in this case, he’s being treated as though no other allegations exist against him.

“In fact, the Justice Department just baptized Hunter Biden. A lifetime of sins washed away in an instant,” Carlson said of the agreement. “It was a secular miracle. Most miraculous of all, Hunter Biden somehow escaped a FARA [Foreign Agent Registration Act] charge.”

“Hunter Biden was a foreign agent. He never registered as one. But for years, that’s exactly what he was. He sold access to his father and other lawmakers to the Chinese and the Ukrainians and countries throughout the world. There’s no debate about that,” the commentator asserted. “The FBI has known about it for years.”

“For years they’ve had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, but they didn’t charge him for it today. They never will. Why? Well, you know the answer: Hunter Biden has good genes,” he charged.

Reacting to the monologue that included corporate media’s fawning over the president’s love for his son as they had served up an opportunity for him to publicly distance himself from complicity, billionaire Elon Musk tweeted, “Raises interesting questions.”

One was raised rhetorically by Carlson himself who said, “The question is what can we learn from Hunter Biden’s plea deal?”

“First off, the obvious, for the children of the people in charge, there are no penalties, there are only upsides,” he answered. “They’re princelings, they can do what they want. You are not, therefore you can’t, so don’t get any ideas about cheating on your taxes or violating federal gun laws, unless you want to celebrate next year’s Father’s Day through the glass in the visitor’s room. The rules definitely apply to you, including rules you don’t yet know exist.”

On the previously mentioned “total inversion of virtue,” Carlson presented “historic figure” Jean-Pierre as a prime exhibit. Playing a clip from her recent interview boasting of her own significance, the commentator said of her hiring, “It was designed to degrade the country and dispirit the rest of us. ‘That’s the White House press secretary? Shut up!’ But here’s the thing. The White House press secretary herself has no idea why she’s in the job. She thinks she’s amazing.”
