Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson thrilled a crowd of Donald Trump supporters with a bizarre speech in which he compared the former president to a father who comes home to punish his misbehaving children.

Carlson railed against the Democrats before a MAGA crowd in Duluth, Georgia, describing them as “the party of crazy people” – while also speaking enthusiastically about how the former president would give “bad little girls” a “vigorous beating.” .

Regarding Trump's possible return to the White House, the 55-year-old expert said: “There has to be a point where dad comes home. “Yes, that's right. Dad comes home. And he's angry. Dad’s mad.”

“When Dad comes home, you know what he says? “You were a bad girl.” “You were a bad little girl and now you're getting a bad beating.”

“'And no, it won't hurt me any more than it hurts you,” Carlson continued. “No it's not. I'm not going to lie, it will hurt you a lot more than it hurt me. And you deserve it.'”

He told rally participants, “This is how it has to be,” because if disobedient children go unpunished, they will continue to behave.

“This is not said in a spirit of hate, it is not said in a spirit of revenge or bigotry – quite the opposite. It is said in the spirit of justice, which is the purest and best thing there is,” he added.

The sea of ​​MAGA hat-wearing fans roared in applause for the metaphor, which portrays the former president as an angry father ready to come home and punish his “disobedient” children – a clear reference to Trump's promise to himself to take revenge on his enemies. In keeping with the theme, the crowd of fans shouted “Dad is home!” as Trump later took the stage.

Despised by prosecutors, judges, the media and his political opponents, Trump has repeatedly told his supporters that if he is re-elected in November, he would use his power to crack down on those he considers an “enemy from within.” . Most recently, he said he would use the military or National Guard to take action against the so-called enemy, aka “radical left-wing lunatics.”

Similarly, Carlson condemned the 2020 election results — a staple of the former Fox News host — and insinuated that they must have been stolen from Trump by Democrats because Harris had “no skills.”

Carlson also claimed that Democrats followed a “Soviet model of leadership” in which “all that matters is the collective.” The comments come eight months after the former Fox host interviewed Vladimir Putin for two hours in what was widely condemned at the time as “mass propaganda” for the Russian leader.

The speech was mocked on social media, with various tweets from Democrats calling it “sick,” while James Singer, rapid response adviser for the Harris campaign, just wrote on X: “This is fucking weird.”

And author Karley Kingsley tweeted: “Tucker Carlson's 'Dissuade your daughter, tell her it's her fault, vote away her rights and stage a coup' speech just summed up the world MAGA wants to live in.” Now I understand why his daughters are registered Democrats.”
