I thought we were discussing civily the merits of this issue and the title of this thread.
Wow.Did you read all of his remarks about Jeffs?That man destroyed the lives of many girls.
Agreed, Jeffs did destroy the lives of ALL these girls and looking into it further the politicians and celebrities that took part should equally pay
I think you are misinterpreting my post. I am NOT defending him in the slightest. Quite the opposite!! Please edit your post so people reading this do not get confused. I was responding to Shin's post above which DOES attempt to mitigate Tucker Carlson's words. I am saying that Tucker Carlson was indeed DEFENDING a sick pedophile and using that quotation of TC's that he would release Jeffs from prison to support my argument. I hope that is crystal clear!
To be clear again, I am NOT defending Tucker Carlson or Jeffs! I am disagreeing with Shin's post and I am stating that Carlson was defending Jeffs and that is terrible!
As stated in the article :In another clip from that 2009 interview, Carlson incorrectly said Jeffs "didn't marry underaged girls" (he would be
convicted in 2011 of marrying and sexually assaulting two girls ages 12 and 15). So I took it as his belief he thought he didn't marry them or have relationships and was comparing that to abducting and raping. So he was misinformed on the information of what later turned into a conviction. I agree he was
DEFENDING or Deflecting a sick pedophile, he should have said, they are all scum.. lock them all away.
*Now let me be clear on this matter as I see the tone has switched from the topic at hand, to outrage. Just like Kevin Hart, Terry Crews, Sarah Silverman, Smollet believers etc say things in the past that are incorrect. They have a choice to set the recorded straight or not. In this matter, I found he thought erroneously that this guy in 2009 either was having a neverland ranch scenerio or comparing other crimes as more heinous while still maintaining he is not defending underage marriage at all.
When I read the "why" this article was posted, what his response is, and the reaction on this form.. the reaction, like in most media, got the desired response. I don't care about Tucker Carlson, I care about the safety of kids that is why I am on the forum. Just like people bashing Smollet followers, I get it.. byut to associate them as being a bigot towards whites, we have to look at other track records. So I looked up other case of TC defending molesters, pedophiles, or blogs of his.. didn't find anything. A guy who thought wrongly about a guy 2 years before conviction should apologize.. does he have to.. no, does he believe underage marriage is good, no.. So finally to all on here that I respect alot... I am just responding to the title of this thread:
Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize amid uproar over his comments defending child rape
Not the thread: Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize amid uproar over his comments defending convicted rapist..
Then, I would agree with you.
