Tucker Carlson Rips Trump on Guns: If Obama Said Ignore Due Process We Would Have Denounced Him as ‘Dictator’

After criticizing the president for expressing support for a raise in the age limit to buy guns — calling that proposal “sneaky propaganda” that won’t save lives — he then took issue with Trump suggesting some lawmakers are puppets of the NRA. That is when he brought up POTUS’s “due process” line.

“Now, I mean, how honest do you want to be?” Carlson pondered. “Imagine if Barack Obama had said that? Just ignore due process and confiscating guns? Obama would have been denounced as a dictator.”

He continued, “We would have denounced him first, trust me. Congress would be talking impeachment. Some would be muttering secession.”

Carlson went on to say that this wasn’t about a battle between the president and the NRA but about the Constitution.

“Those rights are what makes us citizens and not mere subjects of the powerful,” he noted. “The president needs to be reminded of that maybe we all do once in a while. If voters wanted that kind of government they could have voted Democrat.”

4. Then why isn't he denouncing Trump?

Carlson's racism is on full display here. He states that proposing to confiscate guns without due process would have caused Obama to be denounced and impeached. But Trump does it and.......crickets. Where is the denunciation?

The fact that his reaction is more of a disappointed finger wagging aimed at Trump tells me everything I need to know about Tucker Carlson.
