Tucker Carlson Thinks You're A Sociopath If You Disagree With Him

Tucker Carlson took aim at critics on both sides of the aisle that have called out his egregiously false account of what happened on January 6th, and he has resorted to calling those who disagree with him "sociopaths." Carlson has been ripped to shreds by Republicans, Democrats, social media, comedians, and everyone else with a functioning brain for trying to rewrite history. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Bad news for everybody. If you were one of the millions of people who disagreed with what Tucker Carlson did with the January 6th footage this week, then you are unfortunately, and I hate to be the bear of bad news, but it applies to me too, uh, your a sociopath, or at least that's what Tucker Carlson said. While defending his selectively edited footage of the events of January 6th, Tucker Carlson took on his critics saying this, the sociopaths turned out to be both Democrats and Republicans. He then went on to say that Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, who both said his, what he's done to the footage is reprehensible. Uh, he called them weak men for their criticisms of the January 6th video segments. And then he went on even further and said, Joe Biden's, attorney General's a liar. They don't want any detail, they just want a slogan.

They're counting Brian Sickney. That's a lie's talking about Officer Sickney who died the day after the January 6th riot from a series of strokes that he suffered due to the injuries he sustained, including being pepper sprayed in the face by Capitol rioters. Now, for the record, I had also said earlier this week that, uh, he's treading a fine line between defamation. Maybe the family could sue him for this. Uh, turns out I did some digging and know they actually can't. Apparently in the United States, you're allowed to spread lies about dead people and never be sued for defamation or slander because the way the laws are written, say, slander, defamation, libel has to damage a person's reputation. And the law says that dead people don't have a reputation. So Tucker Carlson is allowed, unfortunately, to spread these lies about Officer Sickney. He died as a result of what happened to him that day.

It's like, if I got into a car accident, slammed my head on the steering wheel, but didn't die at the scene of the crash, I died the next day at the hospital. Guess what? I still died in a car crash. Tucker Carlson, that's kind of how that works. And you know that because you're not stupid. But as that 2003 clip of you shows, you just understand the grift. Now you've gotten the hang of it. You know how to hoodwink people into thinking you're something you're not because you're just playing a character. But I gotta go back to that first statement. The associate paths turned out to be both Democrats and Republicans. So you're effectively trying to say that everybody who disagrees with you, both Democrats and Republicans, that they have some kind of illness, that there's something fundamentally cognitive, cognitively wrong with them, Tucker, just because they don't agree with you, that's an easy argument, right? You don't have to put any thought into that. You don't have to worry about debunking it. You can just come out and say, well, if you disagree with me, you're mentally ill, so I don't have to spend more time on it. Such a cop out. Maybe you're not smart. Maybe you're

Just smart at conning people. But that's pretty weak. And the worst part is, as weak as that argument is, as weak as your idiotic footage of January 6th is your audience believes it, and they're gonna continue to believe it. And there's no amount of talking points, no amount of other footage we can show them that is going to shake them from being members of the Tucker Carlson cult, the rest of the public. On the other hand, the vast majority, 99% of the American public, they know you're a liar.
