‘Our System Isn’t What We Thought It Was, It’s Not as Fair as It Should Be’
by Jeff Poor
Monday, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson opened his program by dissecting the country’s election system and how it was influenced by the media, polling, Big Tech, among others.
Carlson’s takeaway was that even beyond allegations of voting irregularities, the current system is unfair.
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: In case you haven’t noticed, it’s hard to trust anything you hear right now. We’ve heard you. We are grateful that you trust us and we will try to be worthy of your trust.
We want to begin tonight by assessing some of the things no doubt you have heard about last week’s presidential election. There are conflicting versions of virtually every part of that story. But as of right now, here’s what we think we know.
For much of Election Night, Donald Trump seemed to be leading in a number of key swing states. Then early Wednesday morning, he began to fall behind. That trend continued more or less for several days.
On Saturday, the media declared Joe Biden the President-elect. Biden quickly accepted that judgment. The Biden campaign now has something called the Office of the President-elect. It sounds official, which of course is the point of setting it up.
And in the end, it’s possible it will be official. If after all the questions have been answered, it becomes clear that Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the presidential election, we will accept that and will encourage others to accept it, too. We are Americans first, we want what is best for this country.
