Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has criticized President Joe Biden’s recent speech, calling it “possibly the darkest and most un-American speech ever given by an American president.” In his response to the President’s State of the Union address, Carlson accused Biden of lacking decency and generosity, even describing the speech as a “rant.”
The former prime-time host also referred to Biden as a “doddering old man” who struggled with remembering key events from his past, including the timeline of his tenure as vice president and the year of his son’s death. This follows a decision by former Special Counsel Robert Hur not to pursue felony charges against Biden due to perceived issues with his memory.
Carlson further contended that Biden is not capable of winning a fair election, stating, “we know they’re going to steal the election because they’re now saying so out loud.” He pointed to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s stance on voter ID laws as evidence of this claim.
The veteran broadcaster also disagreed with Garland’s assertion that requiring ID verification to vote is discriminatory towards people of color. Carlson argued that such a requirement is no more than ensuring proper identity verification, which is a fundamental aspect of many everyday interactions in the country.
