Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has argued that the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is further evidence that evil forces are at work in the United States. “I think the assassination attempt on Saturday on President Trump has reminded a lot of people of this and woken up a lot of people. There is a spiritual war going on,” Carlson said. Heritage Foundation Events During the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“There is no logical way to understand what we are seeing right now in terms of time. It is not possible. This is not a political division. There are forces there whose only purpose is chaos, violence and destruction, and those forces are now very clear and for some reason they have decided to take off their masks,” he continued.
according to The Christian StandtCarlson also warned that the same dark forces that animated revolutionary movements in the past were re-emerging in the United States, posing a particular threat to Christianity.
“What group do they hate the most?” he asked. “What group do they fear the most and want to eliminate? It’s Christians. It’s them. It’s Christians.”
The former “Fox News” host joked that it took him more than a decade to realize that, saying he was “not a particularly devout lifelong Christian.”
“I didn’t spend my life deep in prayer surrounded by incense smoke. I spent my life saying the F-word in newsrooms,” he said, adding that the revolutionary and destructive forces currently operating in the country hate most “Christian nationalists, people who pray outside abortion clinics, people who celebrate Easter instead of Transgender Visibility Day.”
Carlson also suggested that there is a “dark” combative attitude within the Republican Party that is why many Republicans hate Trump and have often tried to overthrow him. He also cited issues such as immigration, the economy and Trump’s “badmouthing.”“ That didn’t matter to his main Republican opponents, who he argued simply wanted godlike powers by perpetuating the war.
He also noted that Trump is the first president since Jimmy Carter not to start a new war or escalate a U.S. military conflict, claiming that Trump is “getting in their way.”
“All they want is the power to kill.“ “And that’s the power that everyone who wants to be a god tries to obtain. That’s why human sacrifices were offered. ‘I have the power to kill people.‘ Only God has power over life and death, and it is that power that they desire.”
