Fox News host Tucker Carlson has shamed the liberal media and stood up for the Black Nationalists who have been charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
As Slay News previously reported, several black American leftists were charged by the DOJ and accused of working with Russia.
Among those charged are members of the radical African People’s Socialist Party (APSP)
The APSP has been campaigning against the war in Ukraine but the DOJ has accused members of spreading Russian propaganda.
Carlson argues that the activists were arrested for exercising their right to free speech.
“Black Nationalist left-wingers who opposed the war in Ukraine,” Carlson said on his Fox News show.
“The DOJ has just charged many in this group.
“Saying things the government doesn’t like is not a crime.
“You can say whatever you want. But not anymore.
“According to the indictment, the criminals in question wrote articles that contained Russian propaganda and Russian disinformation.”
WATCH:
“Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights – freedoms Russia denies its own citizens – to divide Americans and interfere in elections in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.
“The department will not hesitate to expose and prosecute those who sow discord and corrupt U.S. elections in service of hostile foreign interests, regardless of whether the culprits are U.S. citizens or foreign individuals abroad.”
“Efforts by the Russian government to secretly influence U.S. elections will not be tolerated,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr. of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
“As today’s announcement demonstrates, the Criminal Division is committed to eradicating foreign malign influence from the U.S. political system and helping ensure the integrity of our elections.”
“Today’s announcement paints a harrowing picture of Russian government actions and the lengths to which the FSB will go to interfere with our elections, sow discord in our nation and ultimately recruit U.S citizens to their efforts,” said Acting Assistant Director Kurt Ronnow of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.
“All Americans should be deeply concerned by the tactics employed by the FSB and remain vigilant to any attempt to undermine our democracy.
“The FBI remains committed to confronting this egregious behavior and ultimately disrupting our adversaries and those who act on their behalf.”
Here’s the segment I did last night at the top of @TuckerCarlson‘s show about the Biden DOJ’s dangerous indictment of 4 radical black leftists.
Half the segment is Carlson denouncing this and (as Glenn Beck did) defending their free speech rights:https://t.co/SE8JAnm1Pp https://t.co/Ycv2fwgst9
