Tucker Carlson said something very brave about Nixon’s political demise
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jan, 2023 | Andrea Widburg

If he’s right, he’s put himself in the Deep State crosshairs and, if he’s wrong, he looks foolish. Either way, speaking up was a risk.

I always find Tucker Carlson’s monologues interesting, and that’s true whether I agree with him or not. I also find that he’s very brave, speaking truths that others in the media either oppose or are scared to utter. Thursday night saw Tucker take one of his bravest stands yet, advancing a spin on Watergate that, if true, puts him in the Deep State’s crosshairs and, if he’s wrong, makes him look utterly foolish.

Tucker’s monologue began by pointing out that Biden is the architect of every existential disaster facing America today. It’s impossible to argue with that. Indeed, the only argument is the one coming from the left, and it’s a shift in perspective, not one in fact. To the left, Biden’s open borders, support for the Ukraine War, attacks on individual liberty, and the war on American moral and cultural norms (including his support for racial divisions and transgenderism) are all good things that purify America.

Where Tucker went beyond the obvious into the land of bravery was to say that the Deep State was behind John F. Kennedy’s assassination and, when Nixon started nosing around, the Deep State took him out too: (video at link)

(If you don’t want to watch the video, this article summarizes it.)

As I said, when you put yourself out as Tucker did, you’re either right and the Deep State may come for you, or you’re wrong, in which case you risk your credibility. I’ll just add a couple of observations.

The Left wanted Nixon’s scalp ever since he served on HUAC. They finally got it.

I have been saying something very similar about Watergate for decades now.

It was a Media coup... I am not surprised the CIA was involved.

Just remember:

The JoeTatoe handled Assistant Democrat Paul Ryan in their 2012 debate like taking candy from a STUPID baby...

Seems like a pretty good theory and wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true but will forever be covered up.

Tucker is either bold and courageous, or he is going the way of Art Bell :)

It is often said that the Cabinet serves at the pleasure of the President.

I believe it is also true that the President serves at the pleasure of the Deep State.

Pompeo didn’t want the files released, not all of them. Does that mean he knows what’s in them, like specifics? And any POTUS?

Was it Woodward or Bernstein who was an employee of Naval intelligence?

It always bothered me that when they revealed the identity of “deep throat” we found out that the guy who was basically pulling the strings on those two reporters was actually a top guy at the FBI. And given that his boss was Herbert frickin’ Hoover, don’t try to tell me he was somehow offended about abuse by Nixon. No way, it was a takedown, plain and simple. To this day I felt like I was the only one who thought ‘this guy didn’t act alone, the FBI took down Nixon and they probably had other help in government. Why isn’t this major news?’. Glad to see it getting some attention as a thought provoker.

The Deep State tally:

Killed Kennedy
Forced Johnson to step away
Removed Nixon
Attempted to take down Reagan
Impeached Trump
Moving in to remove Biden

Installed Ford
Installed Clinton
Installed Obama

We don’t live in a democracy. Our leaders serve at the pleasure of the Deep State...

Nixon only lost one state. He was very important. America did not want to be at war. America did not want Johnson. Nixon was the first real republican in a long while. And republicans meant people who had morals. That is why they could attack him by showing he was a crook. When you elect Mr. Clean all you need to do is to show a little dirt and he falls. That is why Trump did so well. Nobody expected he was clean. So he could weather any dirt.

Roger Stone said the Watergate break in was conceived by John Dean, who wanted them to snatch DNC evidence that his wife was a DC call girl.
