Tucker Carlson on “instant justice” for Youth Pastors

“What you’re seeing is a society that hates children,” Carlson said on his show Monday.

“You would have to hate children in order to allow them to spend time with Youth Pastors. Because being exposed to Youth Pastors screws them up for life. Ask anyone to whom it has happened, period,” he said. “No one should put up with this. No parent should put up with this for one second, no matter what the law says. Your duty, your moral duty, is to defend your children. This is an attack on your children and you should fight back.”

Carlson suggested that in a “healthy” country “with an intact social fabric, neighborhood dads would give out instant justice to any Youth Pastor who even thought about spending time with their kids.”

Carlson was obviously not talking about Youth Pastors, but this very lightly edited version of what he said is more accurate and at least partly grounded in reality.
