Tucker Carlson says GOP must be PUNISHED for not backing Trump fraud battle – but warns don’t sit out Senate runoffs
TUCKER Carlson said the GOP must be punished for not backing Donald Trump’s election fraud battle – but warned Republican voters not to sit out in the upcoming Senate runoffs
Speaking on his nightly show, The Fox News host urged Republicans to vote in the January 5 runoffs – as they will likely determine the balance of power in Washington D.C.

“By the way, they have every reason to be mad – They should be punished.”
“The problem is, the rest of us should not be punished. So before you decide to sit this one out, you should think about what this might mean.”
Two runoffs will be held in Georgia in early January – as the US Senate has two final vacancies.
The next Senate will include 48 Republicans and 48 Democrats following the November 3 election – and four seats are up for grabs.
Seats in Alaska and North Carolina are too early too call, but Republicans have the edge in both states.
A 50-50 split in the Senate would mean that future Vice President Kamala Harris would be able to shatter any possible ties.
Two Democrat wins in Georgia would give them the White House, the Senate, and Congress.
Carson also talked about what would happen if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer controlled a Democrat-led Senate.
He said: “If Democrats take full control, the first priority will be to pass something called the HEROES Act.
“You’re told that’s a coronavirus economic relief package, and there’s some of that in there, but there’s a lot more.”
He slammed the bill for having “a bunch of policies that will, and this is the point of them, create a permanent Democratic majority” – adding: “If Democrats take the Senate, things are going to change really, really fast, in ways that most people aren’t going to like at all.”
Meanwhile, in an Op-ed for Fox News, Carlson discussed how the questions “What does Joe Biden believe?” and “What are his plans for our country?” remain unanswered.
Carlson blamed a “partisan press corps” for letting Biden become the President-elect without ever stating his plans.

“They had no idea who they were voting for or what he might do if he got elected. But at the urging of the media, they voted for him anyway. Now the rest of us get to find out what they voted for.”
Carlson’s warning to Republicans comes one day after the popular news host claimed the 2020 election was “rigged in plain view” against Trump.
He also dubbed electronic voting systems as “untrustworthy” in a lengthy monologue on his Monday night show just hours after the President finally allowed the transition period to a Biden presidency to begin.
He also took aim at electronic voting systems – and called for a return to hand-counting paper ballots without the use of machines.

Carlson added: “You’ve heard a lot over the past few days about the security of our electronic voting machines.
“And this is a real issue, no matter who raises it or who tries to dismiss it out of hand as a conspiracy theory.
“Electronic voting is not as secure as traditional hand-counting, period. It never will be as secure.”
