Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday for his repeated attacks on the trucker protests in Canada, saying that Canadians are tired of his “tyranny.”
Carlson highlighted the following quote from Trudeau this week:
If you join the protests because you are tired of COVID, you now need to understand that to you are breaking laws. The consequences are becoming more and more severe. You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally including to the U.S.
“You could be breaking laws! That was the funniest part,” Carlson said in response to Trudeau’s words. “These are people who literally don’t care about the law at all. They believe they make the law. This is the prime minister who ordered the cops to steal people’s fuel. There is no law that says you can’t have fuel in Ottawa. He just made that up. Now he’s lecturing about the law. Joe Biden, who was violating federal law on the grand scale every day by importing two million people illegally without your consent, he’s upset about the law. Justin Trudeau is so upset, he is threatening the truckers’ children. ‘It’s time to go home especially if you have your kids with you,’ Trudeau said. Wouldn’t want something to happen to them.”
“Trudeau also attacked the protesters for closing the border. Only Justin Trudeau is allowed to do that,” Carlson continued. “Which he has done for more than a year. So, what are we watching here? It’s more than hypocrisy. What we are watching is panic. Justin Trudeau knows that nobody joined the protest because they are ‘tired of COVID.’ They are tired of tyranny. They are tired of being told to inject something into their bodies they don’t want, whose long-term effects cannot be known. Sold by companies that are protected, that have immunity from public recourse.”

TRANSCRIPT:
TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS HOST: We’ve been covering this truck strike in Canada all week, and at the end of the week, there are a couple of different images that kind of float around your head. Picture the cops stealing the fuel from the freezing truckers. You picture the smiling truckers talking about love and waving the Canadian flags. Totally non-threatening. But above all, you remember the hysteria of the people in charge as they look out on the sea of working-class people who are really sick of being pushed around, and told what to inject into their bodies. The people in charge are extremely upset about this. Hysterical. And it’s hilarious. You can just picture a transportation secretary, little Pete Buttigieg, jumping up and down, shaking his little hands, screaming at the truck drivers, get off my bridge, you guys, get off right now!
It’s not just Mayor Pete, you remember those angry tweets from that CNN contributor, the lady who suggested we should slash their tires, siphon their diesel fuel, throw them in prison. They’re all Torquemada now. They are talking like they are scary. But keep in mind, these are not displays of power. This is not how confident people talk. These are squeaks of impotence. Our leaders are furious at the truckers because they know there’s not a lot they can do about the truckers. They don’t know anything about trucks, for one thing. How do you get a truck off a bridge, especially when it has no fuel or tires? They have no idea. You just order someone to do it. It’s kind of like Uber Eats. Some guy trots out and removes the truck. The problem is that the people who drive the trucks don’t feel like following orders anymore. They are ignoring Pete Buttigieg.
If you actually want to move a big rig, you need tow truck operators. And those tow truck operators know truckers. They know truckers aren’t racist. They’re not Nazi’s — no matter how many times Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau claim they are. So, some of them aren’t inclined to help. David Allen, for example, is the president of Gary’s Towing in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He told Canadian media, “We have all the capabilities on our tow trucks to do it, … but I don’t think anyone would want to.” Another tow truck operator … said even if tow truck operators wanted to help carry out Pete Buttigieg’s orders, it would be very hard, “In the end … the truckers going to say whether you’re taking that truck away or not.” There are technical reasons for this, which apparently they don’t teach at McKinsey, it turns out that trucks are heavy. They have air brakes and steel-belted tires. Some of the truckers removed their tires completely. So, what now? Now is when you start to panic — and they definitely are. This afternoon, the Prime Minister of Canada, who clearly is Fidel Castro’s illegitimate son, came out from hiding to threaten the protesters directly.

You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally including to the U.S.

Trudeau also attacked the protesters for closing the border. Only Justin Trudeau is allowed to do that — which he has done for more than a year. So, what are we watching here? It’s more than hypocrisy. What we are watching is panic. Justin Trudeau knows that nobody joined the protest because they are “tired of COVID.” They are tired of tyranny. They are tired of being told to inject something into their bodies they don’t want, whose long-term effects cannot be known. Sold by companies that are protected, that have immunity from public recourse.
We also know that what they told us to do didn’t work. The lockdowns didn’t work. Johns Hopkins came out and said it the other day. Pretty conclusive. That is what people are mad about. They want their freedom back. They are not tired of the virus, they are tired of the leaders who have used the virus to give themselves more power. And they’re still doing it. Here is Ontario’s premier Doug Ford. He announced today that instead of lifting his province’s useless mandates, he’s going to steal the truckers money, fine them, and then send them to jail.
