Tucker Carlson: North Korean Regime is 'Monstrous' But Leading a Country 'Means Killing People'

President Donald Trump made history on Sunday when he became the first sitting President to cross into North Korea, and the big news was covered by all the networks. On Fox & Friends, they interviewed Tucker Carlson, who is on the trip with the president, about the big moment.

In talking about the regime, Carlson made some startling statements comparing Kim Jong Un and his “Stalinist” regime to countries around the world, including American allies.

“There’s no defending the North Korean regime, which is a monstrous regime. It’s the last really Stalinist regime in the world,” said Carlson by phone. “It’s a disgusting place, obviously, so there’s no defending it.”

“On the other hand,” he said, immediately switching to defending it. “You know, you’ve got to be honest about what it means to lead a country, it means killing people. Not on the scale that the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities including a number that we’re closely allied with.”

“You know, I’m not a relativist or anything, but it’s important to be honest about that,” said Carlson.

1. "I'm not a relativist but...", that sounds awfully familiar

To that "I'm not a racist but..." cliche that's trotted out by, wait for it, racists.

2. The only thing interesting about this hogwash is that the Poytrumpcan Village seems to have switched

mouthpieces from Hannity to Carlson recently for some reason.

3. I'm sure Tucker would be making this same argument

Had President Obama pulled a photo op like this one.

Tucker, just stop, you're making an even bigger ass out of yourself that you usually are by twisting up like a pretzel to support your disgusting "dear leader"

4. What's also monstrous is Carlson's defense of monstrous regimes.

9. Normalizing monstrosities is what Faux & Frauds does best.

I bet they're giggling and sharing kimchi recipes already.

6. I wonder if Kim will celebrate like he did last March by having all his negotiators killed.

Speaking of killing.

7. Leading a country means killing people? Care to give a few examples?

Immigrants are dying in US-custody while waiting to be processed for asylum in the US. Well, shit happens.

In Russia, being gay has been effectively criminalized with an intentionally ambiguously-worded law and gay people get discriminated, stalked, arrested and murdered with impunity. Well, shit happens.

In the Philippines, drug-addicts get lynched. Well, shit happens.

In Saudi-Arabia, journalists get hacked to pieces. Well, shit happens.

In China there are concentration-camps for ethnic Uighurs who don't like it that the chinese government is destroying their culture. Well, shit happens.



I wonder how many people the leader of Canda has killed. The leaders of Spain? France? Germany? India? Australia?
