Tucker Carlson: Those 'Who Run Our Country' Are Bringing 'Child Molestation' to the 'Edge of Acceptability'

Patrick Delaney : Jun 12, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"What's interesting is how fast our taboos are changing. This is not happening organically. What we're allowed to dislike is being dictated to us from above, sometimes by force." -Tucker Carlson

[LifeSiteNews.com] Religious and ethical moral norms, that is "taboos," which have allowed American society to govern itself, are being rapidly undermined and replaced by "the people who run our country," argues Tucker Carlson in the second installment of his new show on Twitter.

This has brought about a softening of attitudes toward many established "taboos," such as adultery, drug use, racism, and now—the former Fox News host warns—child molestation.

In order to "control [even] what people think," dictators "need to take charge of the society's taboos," Carlson asserted.

"A taboo is something that, by popular consensus, is not allowed. A taboo may not be illegal, but it doesn't need to be. Over time, social prohibitions are more powerful and more enduring than laws," he said demonstrating how religious societies, such as traditional Christians, govern themselves through their rejection of behaviors like adultery.

Other commentators will use the language of "public religion" to describe this framework of norms, stating quite frankly that for America, this framework used to be Christianity and biblical norms, and "everybody knew that."

However, Carlson noted, "What's interesting is how fast our taboos are changing. This is not happening organically. What we're allowed to dislike is being dictated to us from above, sometimes by force."

The former Fox News host, who enjoyed the highest-rated cable news show in history before being cancelled on April 24, pointed out how formerly "it was taboo in this country to attack people on the basis of their race," but punishing them now "based on their skin color is not only permitted in modern America, it is mandatory for business and government and higher education, as long as the victims are white."

In addition, he provided the example of adultery having been considered a disqualifying factor for anyone seeking higher office as late as 1992, but Bill Clinton was the last presidential candidate who was required to face that standard, Carlson proposed.

"One by one, with increasing speed, our old taboos have been struck down. Those that remain have lost their moral force," he said. "Stealing, flaunting your wealth, striking women, smoking marijuana on the street, shameless public hypocrisy, taking other people's money for not working. All of these things used to be considered unacceptable in America. Not anymore."

"So it probably shouldn't surprise us that the greatest taboo of all is teetering on the edge of acceptability: child molestation," Carlson warned. "A generation ago, talking to someone else's children about sex was widely considered grounds for a thrashing. Touching them sexually was effectively a death penalty offense."

The commentator then compared how the public in Wisconsin was inclined to celebrate the killing of convicted serial child molester and murderer Jeffrey Dahmer in a prison bathroom in 1994, with the changed attitudes reflected in the Kyle Rittenhouse case in 2020.

During the BLM riots, "Rittenhouse defended his life from a convicted child molester, Joseph Rosenbaum." Carlson explained. "Rosenbaum was trying to kill Rittenhouse, so Rittenhouse shot him in self-defense."

"But it was Joseph Rosenbaum whom the media cast as the victim of the story. Kyle Rittenhouse, meanwhile, an underage boy fending off violence from a child molester, was denounced as the villain. Ultimately, he was indicted for murder," the host recalled.

"One of the things that this tells us is the people who run our country no longer see child molesters as the worst among us," he said.

This became more obvious due to an extensive Wall Street Journal "exposé about kiddy porn on Instagram" earlier this week that Carlson observed. Despite the WSJ reporting how Instagram "helps connect and promote a vast network of accounts openly devoted to the commission and purchase of underage sex content," the most shocking aspect of this story was that nothing of any significance happened in response.

"The largest circulation newspaper in the United States revealed that one of the world's most influential companies was promoting pedophilia, and nobody in power did anything about it. The Justice Department did not announce an investigation. Congress did not schedule hearings," he said.

Noting how 10 of 11 press releases from the FBI's Washington field office over the last month have been regarding January 6, Carlson commented, "Now you know why the feds were ignoring kid-touchers on Instagram. They're too busy to respond. They've got much more important things to do"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
