TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): The leaders of the Democratic Party have now decided that 74 million Trump voters weren't just wrong or misguided, they didn't simply back the wrong guy or have incorrect opinions or fail to see the obvious truths. No, the threat they pose is graver and more serious than that, more dangerous.
These 74 million Trump voters are, in fact, terrorists. They're a looming physical threat to the rest of us and we must deal with them in the way that you deal with threats like that -- existential threats to the nation. Saddam Hussein, Al-Baghdadi, Kim Jong-un, Donald Trump's voters.
For years they told us this country had been infiltrated by Russian spies, but now we know it's worse than that. The real threat, the actual enemy is within. In the end, it always is.
74 million deviationists lurk in our midst. They look like normal people, but ladies and gentlemen, do not be deceived. They are Trotskyites, they're wreckers, Kulaks.
We must root them out. It will take a war to do that, an actual war, a war on our own people.
