Former Fox News host and current independent media mogul Tucker Carlson made a shocking statement during an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan this week regarding the past assassination attempts against now-President Donald Trump, namely, that he believes someone or a group within the Biden administration wanted them to succeed.
“If I was running the Secret Service for the day, what’s the first place you’d look? Oh, it would be the flat roof with a direct line on the stage,” Morgan said during a segment, referencing the rooftop where shooter Thomas Crooks, 20, squeezed off several rounds at the then-GOP candidate during a speech in Butler, Pa., in July before being killed by a counter-sniper team. Crooks managed to knick Trump in his right ear, nearly killing him, while striking three people in the crowd behind Trump, killing one and severely wounding two more.
“You think? And there was not one agent positioned or assigned to look at that. None,” Carlson countered. “They had no idea. Why? Well, because they wanted to kill Trump, obviously. The Biden administration wanted to kill Trump. I mean, there’s no doubt.” That led Morgan to ask, per the video below: “Do you genuinely think that?”
“Of course, I know that. And I know that by what I saw. In other words, if you leave your child inside a locked car on a hot day and go into a casino and spend three hours gambling and the kid suffocates, I can say, Piers, you killed your child,” Carlson explained. “You say, well, I didn’t mean to. It doesn’t matter. You didn’t care enough about your child that you went back and rescued him from suffocation.
“It’s demonstrable. Your intent can be divined from your actions. If you allow a roof 140, 30, 40 yards away to remain unsurveilled, a guy with a rangefinder and a drone to come into your area while the president, President Trump speaking, you don’t care about saving the life of that man,” Carlson continued before Morgan then brought up the second near-assassination attempt against Trump just a few weeks later while he was playing a round at his West Palm Beach golf course.
“I actually thought what happened at the golf course a few weeks later was even worse in this sense. This is a few weeks after he’s actually been shot. Yes,” Morgan said. “He’s playing at his own golf course where he regularly plays at weekends when he’s in Florida. And he was five minutes away of walking up to a green where if one secret service agent who happened to walk ahead had not seen the barrel of a rifle poking out of a bush, that guy had a loaded AK-47. He had body armor.
“He was ready to go. Trump would be dead. And that would have been, I think the biggest scandal ever because that was just weeks after. He’d already survived an assassination. But no one makes much of a fuss about that either,” Morgan added.
