TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So again, Joe Biden is tying these crimes, which are real, to the right. He's saying anyone who talks about where the violence, or the virus came from, talks about how it may have escaped from a lab, is abetting violence against Asian-Americans, that's why Asian-Americans are being attacked. But it's a lie. The attackers don't look like Trump voters, necessarily.
