Tucker Carlson took aim Monday night at New Jersey Democratic strategist James Devine after he tweeted a hashtag about hunting Republican congressmen.
"We are in a war with selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people. Why is it a shock when things turn violent? #HuntRepublicanCongressmen," Devine tweeted on June 14.
Carlson blasted the one-time mayoral candidate for incitement. Fox News summarizes:
Devine, a previous candidate for mayor of Rahway, N.J., said he does not condone violence but is instead pointing out what he considered hypocrisy.
He held up a printout of a "liberal hunting permit" and a map of "targeted" Congressional districts from several years ago published by a group supporting Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska).
"Your excuse apparently is [that] other people have done it," Carlson said.
"For too long, Republicans in this country have failed to distinguish the differences between politics and war... so you either have to tone down the rhetoric or [Democrats] need to speak up," Devine said.
Devine said the left has to stand up after years of violent Republican rhetoric, saying "you have to fight fire with fire."
"A guy just went and tried to assassinate Republican members of Congress," Carlson said. "You're an unbalanced person."
Indeed he is unbalanced. It has come to the point where those on the Left believe themselves to be so morally superior, that they are even justified in calling for (or excusing) violence against those on the opposite side of the political aisle.
