‘No Decency, No Shame’: Tucker Blasts Politicized Hurricane Response From Dems, Media

Fox News host Tucker Carlson lambasted media figures and Democrats who tried to make political points during Hurricane Ian Wednesday evening.

“Hurricane Ian as we’ve told you has crushed the state of Florida, more than a million people have no power. This is a catastrophe. It’s a national disaster. People will certainly be killed because of it,” Carlson said. “Under circumstances like that, decent people put politics aside for a moment, because they’re not ghouls. They realize some things, like life and death, are more important than politics.

McCaskill expressed a hope that Floridians who “hate the federal government” would remember the disaster relief efforts following the hurricane. Hurricane Ian made landfall Wednesday afternoon, knocking out power and causing extensive damage.

“Can you imagine lecturing people who are cowering in their houses trying not to get killed? No decency. No shame. None of them have any shame or any decency,” Carlson said before turning his attention to comments CNN’s Don Lemon made Tuesday. “Over at CNN, Don Lemon repeatedly tried to link the hurricane to climate change.

Because unlike Don Lemon, Jamie Rhome knows what he’s talking about, he’s the Director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [National] Hurricane Center.”... (Read more)
