'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host sounds off on continued occupation of nation's capital
As of Wednesday night there are nearly 10,000 federal troops in America's capital city. Why are they there? How long will they be staying? No one is being very clear about any of that.
So you're left to draw your own conclusions, which people naturally are doing. By the way, it's not making anyone more moderate. If you're really worried about extremism, you probably wouldn't put 10,000 federal troops in your capital city, making everyone more radical and crazy. But they don't care about that. The point of this whole highly militarized exercise is to remind you of what Mao Zedong once famously said: "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun."
