Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., reacts to Lt. Gen. Russel Honore’s comments on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Pelosi view as the greatest
threat of all
Josh Hawley was singled out by
this man and he joins us to
respond
Senator. I appreciate you
coming on tonight.
This make me nervous that
someone like this could have
any control of the so called
security of the Capitol
Washington or in America
yeah.
Its very disturbing
some of the statement thats
the general has made, are
downright crazy.
You cited some of them
saying Stefanop should be put
on the no fly list
and the statement about the
law enforcement.
This is somebody who, last
year, Tucker encouraged
condoned the violent rioting
in the cities and said federal
law enforcement who were sent
to Portland to protect the
federal courthouse.
He said they were a mob
themselves
said they were acting like
they were serving a dictator,
attacked them for not being
real soldiers.
Those are his words,
its unbelievable,
its just unbelievable.
It shows that Nancy Pelosi
isnt interested in getting
any facts.
She is interested in power
in amassing power and an
excuse to keep hold of power,
including the thousands of
troopers who are still at the
capitol who are still there,
treating it like an armed
camp.
Why?
No one will say,
but this is what Pelosi is
interested in.
So I saw an
internal memo today from House
Republicans saying we are not
going to question the presence
of all the federal troops in
Washington,
because there is some kind of
threat
which they never explain,
what a betrayal of the
country,
but this guy is running around
cappingcalling himself, general
shouldnt we be concerned,
leadership should be
nonpartisan and not involved
in the debates.
Are we sure it still is?
This particular
general has been retired
arrest, while
you dont question his service
to the country at all.
I applaud him for it,
but he has been a partisan, a
dedicated partisan
that is putting it mildly,
since he left the military,
an extreme left wing Democrat.
You can see it in the comments
he has made
im concerned about what they
are, laying the ground work for
here, and what Nancy Pelosi is
doing.
Im concerned that they
continue to treat the January
six catastrophe that criminal
riot as an excuse to seize
power, to control more power
and to step on peoples. Second,
amendment rights to take away
the first amendment rights.
Now we are hearing about a
domestic war on terror.
What is that going to be
an excuse to rifle through
e mail and the bank statements
and the personal messages of
the law? Abiding Americans?
This is very, very frightening
stuff.
What Pelosi and the Democrats
are doing here trying to
consolidate power is
dangerous.
Please convince
your fellow Republicans on the
hill to stand up for the
country,
please.
I think what you said is
right.
I needed to be said.
I hope others will say it.
