Fox News host Tucker Carlson defends QAnon supporters as ‘gentle people’ waving American flags – By Muri Assuncao (New York Daily News) / Mar 6 2021
Tucker Carlson has defended QAnon supporters saying that they are “gentle people” who are “waving American flags.”
Carlson’s comments came in the first minutes of his prime-time show on Fox News, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” on Friday night.
During his opening monologue, Carlson set out to explain to his viewers “just how dangerous” QAnon really is, as he reported that “all troops who took part in the mission to protect our democracy from internet conspiracy theorists” would now “receive medals in recognition of their heroic sacrifice,” he said mockingly.
Carlson was, of course, referring to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which left five people dead.
Many participants of the mob who took part in the insurrection have been linked to the fringe group, who has been designated as a “domestic terror threat” by the FBI.
