Fox News host Tucker Carlson called for Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment against Joe Biden over his cognitive decline nearly getting America into World War III over the weekend.
Carlson began his Monday monologue of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” by playing the series of gaffes Biden made in Europe over the weekend that were interpreted as escalating war rhetoric with Russia, and noting Biden’s “senility” likely got in the way because he didn’t even realize what he was saying.
“We have deep sympathy for anyone in that position, including Joe Biden, but Biden is the president of the United States, and this is the single most volatile moment in the recent history of our country,” Carlson said. “Biden is leading the U.S. toward war and so it’s fair to assess the effect on the rest of us of his mental and emotional conditions, not simply about age, Biden is 79.”
“Biden is clearly unable to speak with precision and when you’re president of the United States and the world hangs on your every word, when your words constitute American policy, when you can change American policy, particularly America’s foreign policy, simply by saying so, it is essential that you speak the words you intend to speak, that you not get carried away because you’re mad and say something you don’t mean that might threaten the long-term interests of this country, threaten the families and the children of the rest of us and our future, but he is.”
Arguably the biggest gaffe Biden made was calling for the removal of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a radical policy position toward Russia that’s never been made before because it would mean all-out war with the former Soviet nation.
“So it would be in the interest of the United States, and that’s the only interest that matters from our perspective, to cool the rhetoric a little bit,” Carlson noted. “Or when you employ overheated rhetoric, to do it for a reason, in the service of a clearly articulated goal that helps the United States and not just because you’re old and pissed, which is exactly what you just saw—a guy who just lost control of what he was saying because he was too mad.”
“It’s all pretty obvious. No one in Washington has spent 30 seconds thinking about what would happen if we knocked off Putin or if we talk about knocking off Putin,” he continued. “In fact, our foreign policy establishment spent the weekend congratulating Joe Biden on saying the wrong thing. They compared him to Ronald Reagan. Washington loves regime change. It’s what comes after regime change they’d rather not consider and have no track record of pulling off, but for now, they were thrilled.”
Carlson then played a remarkable exchange between Biden and Fox News reporter Peter Doocy where Biden denied that he made any of his gaffes, adding he’s “not walking anything back.”
“No one anticipated at that moment that we would be on the cusp of a war with a nuclear armed power in less than two years, but that’s exactly where we are now and under those circumstances, to have someone who was literally no idea what’s going on doesn’t even know that he’s changing longstanding policies that adults have thought through when he does it. Does scary describe that? No, it’s worse,” Carlson stressed.
“So, Biden just said everything that he has said for the last week is true and none of it has been corrected by people who work for him. The truth is, Joe Biden has no idea,” Carlson noted. “Joe Biden has no idea what his publicists say when he goes to sleep, that midway through his answer, Biden starts walking back his own comments. He does that just minutes after saying he would never walk back his own comments. ‘None of that occurred,’ Biden said. Look, it feels almost like we’re being mean to the guy by quoting him, and no one wants that. No one is making fun of his age or his diminished condition, only trying to defend the country. Then moments later, Biden declared that no reasonable person would think he wants regime change in Russia.”
For these reason, Carlson said, Congress must invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden.
“All right. Joke’s over, too much is at stake. If there was ever a time, if there was, in U.S. history, ever a time, to invoke the 25th Amendment, it is now. As Joe Biden himself put it, ‘For God’s sakes, this man cannot remain in power,’ for all of our sakes,” he concluded.
