Fox News host Tucker Carlson hammered the political left Thursday evening over their reaction to the devastation inflicted on Florida by Hurricane Ian, a powerful Category 4 hurricane.
Carlson noted that “decent people” typically step back, take inventory of the moment and realize that there are more important things in life than politics when they see others suffering from natural disasters.
“The one thing you don’t do is immediately jump forward to score some sort of cheap and sleazy political point from it,” Carlson said. “That used to be obvious. But for the past several years it’s been clear it’s no longer obvious, at least to one political party. You saw this happen after the forest fires in California two years ago.”
“It happened after tornadoes killed people in Midwest last year, and it’s happening again now,” Carlson continued. “Immediately on cable television and on the floor of the legislative bodies across this country, self-described experts are demanding that you accept responsibility for whatever natural disaster has just occurred. It’s your fault, including for Hurricane Ian. You did this because you didn’t support giving Joe Biden trillions of dollars to fight climate change. So, you caused it.”
