THE GREAT AMERICAN OUTRAGE MACHINE

[Below is the text of Tucker’s monologue – first 6:45 minutes of the video above –  on his Fox News show Monday night (3/11).  His courage in standing up to the Left’s Outrage Machine Mob – and condemning the Republicans for their cowardice – is inspirational.] As anyone who has ever been caught in its gears can tell you, the great American outrage machine is a remarkable thing. One day you're having dinner with your family, imagining everything is fine. The next, your phone is exploding with calls from reporters. They read you snippets from a press release written by Democratic Party operatives. They demand to know how you could possibly have said something so awful and offensive, and ask something like, "Do you have a statement on how immoral you are?" It's a bewildering moment, especially when the quotes in question are more than a decade old. There's really not that much you can do to respond. It's pointless to try to explain how the words were spoken in jest or taken out of context, or in any case, bear no resemblance to what you actually think or would want for the country. None of that matters. Nobody cares. You know the role you're required to play. You are a sinner that needs the forgiveness of Twitter.
