Earlier this week, former First Lady Michelle Obama launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, claiming that the president is “lying” about Black Lives Matter protests being violent. Now, Fox News host Tucker Carlson is firing back by proving that the real liar here is Michelle.
In a video released earlier this week in support of democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Michelle claimed that Trump is “lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs. And pinning it all on what’s been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity.”
“It’s true,” she said. “Research backs it up: Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all. So, what the president is doing, is, once again, patently false, morally wrong, and yes, it is racist.”
“When people hear these lies and crazy conspiracies repeated over and over again, they don’t know what to think,” Michelle concluded. “The one thing this president is really, really good at is using fear and spreading lies to win.”
Carlson, however, was not having any of it.
“If you listen to Michelle Obama’s impassioned 24-minute long video message this week, it’s not an easy time to live as a rich lady in a $12 million ocean-side estate in Martha’s Vineyard,” Carlson said during his show on Thursday night. “It’s so bad that white supremacists are out there on the streets wrecking businesses every night. Some of them are stealthy, leave and have BLM tattoos and want to abolish the police but it’s all a cover.”
“Michelle Obama assures us this is the radical right,” he added.
Not stopping there, the Fox News host compared Michelle’s comments to the riots that have been happening in Wisconsin.
“As if we needed more evidence of that, last night in suburban Wisconsin these same white supremacists struck again, just like we saw in Portland, Kenosha and Minneapolis,” Carlson said as he showed footage of looting. “They were disguised as Joe Biden voters and they threw rocks into people’s living rooms and attacked the police.”
“Things got so bad that authorities wanted the National Guard to set up a protective perimeter around city hall,” he added. “Just to show you how terrifyingly true Michelle Obama’s warning was we have blotted her statement side by side with footage from last night near Milwaukee.”
