Tucker Carlson, a previous Fox News host, claimed in his Thursday address to the Republican National Convention that” God is among us” that former president Donald Trump’s magic survivor on Saturday was evidence of “divine action.”
” I think even people who do n’t believe in God are beginning to think,’ Well, maybe there’s something to this actually,'” Carlson said, just days after an attempted assassin’s bullet came within an inch of killing Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. If not for heavenly grace through a last-second bend of Trump’s mind, he would be useless.
Soon after Carlson took the stage, Trump declared,” I stand before you in this market only by the kindness of Almighty God.”
Carlson argued that Trump transformed from a “political group’s nomination” or” a former leader or a potential president” into” the leader of a nation” by raising an intuitive fist-pump of defiance right away after being shot.
” Anything was distinct after that time”, he said.
” When he stood up after being shot in the face, wounded, and put his hand up”, Carlson said,” that second — that was a change”.
” Being a head”, Carlson added, “is not a headline. It’s healthy. You ca n’t name someone a leader. The bravest person is a leader. That’s what a president is”.
The original prime-time wire host also praised the former president for “turning down the most obvious possibility in politicians to inflame the country after being shot.”
” Almost every other lawmaker I’ve met, and surely his opponents would have taken it right away,” Carlson said. ” But in the events, the time, the week after the shooting, he did not say that. He did his best to bring the country up”.
Let me just summarize it. I do think the whole place from the famous elevator ride nine years previously until now of Donald Trump’s common life has been to convince us of one fact, which is, a leader’s duty is to his people, to his country, and to no other.
