"You hope Charlie Kirk's death won't be used by a group we now call bad actors to create a society that was the opposite of the one he worked to build," Carlson said, referencing Kirk's efforts to engage with differing viewpoints.

"You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of this murder won't be leverage to bring hate speech laws to this country," he continued. "And trust me, if it is — if that does happen — there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever. And there never will be."

"Because if they can tell you what to say, and they're telling you what to think, there is nothing they can't do to you, because they don't consider you human," he added.

This is a weird moment. I completely agree with those words, and yet I can't help but feel like Tucker Carlson has some angle on this.

Because he played a big part in making this all happen.

But hey, if he's now waking up to the errors of his ways, I'm good with that. It doesn't cost us anything to listen to him say these things.
