Tucker Carlson on Thursday challenged Democrats that objected to President Donald Trump’s remarks earlier this week about the gang MS-13.
On Thursday the host of Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” said that the inspiration for that backlash aimed at Trump for those comments was that it challenged the left’s view on immigration, which is that all immigrants are good.
“Why would the left be defending the country’s most violent street gang?” Carlson said. “Trump has made them irrational. That is part of it. But the left also senses a threat to its basic worldview. MS-13 is a living reminder that the left’s position on immigration is fundamentally a lie. The media tell you every day that every immigrant, legal or not, is a future brain surgeon or tech company founder. Therefore, immigration controls are unnecessary.”
“If they admit MS-13 is bad and must be stopped, they’d have to also admit that when some countries send their people here, they aren’t sending their best,” he continued.
Meanwhile on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham praised President Donald Trump for speaking “bluntly and honestly” when referring to MS-13 gang members as “animals.”
Ingraham also said that this type of talking helped Trump to win in 2016, explaining that people like that Trump is honest and speaks his mind.
“This is why Trump got elected — by speaking bluntly and honestly, not a lot of concern for political correctness. Frankly, a lot of people are done with that anyway. But he is talking about the challenges facing America — law and order, safety on the streets, law and order and the border. He changed the political landscape, and he frustrated liberal narratives by speaking to the people as they speak among themselves. And if he keeps up that focus and he keeps speaking truth to power, he’ll get elected again. And perhaps, that’s why the left is acting like a pack of wild animals over a side comment by Donald Trump,” she said.
