Fox News host Tucker Carlson shared his unvarnished thoughts with Christian leaders who have remained silent following the arrest of a controversial preacher.
Carlson's Thursday night monologue came following the arrest of a Canadian faith leader for interrupting and protesting a drag queen story hour at one of Calgary's public libraries.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Derek Riemer of Mission7 was arrested after he protested a drag queen story hour at Calgary Public Library on Saturday; video shows him shoved to the ground by attendees as he proclaimed that “Jesus Christ is Lord” and quoted biblical passages about homosexuality.
“We are disgusted and disturbed and appalled at the perversion and the indoctrination of the centralization and the normalization of this homosexual agenda and drag queen transgender agenda on the children,” Reimer said in an interview with LifeSiteNews. “We feel compelled to take a stand in the name of Jesus against this and to speak out and to preach the gospel, and to rebuke and to expose this.”
Carlson noted that the administration of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has actively opposed Christian and conservative movements in recent years. “On some level, all governments hate religious people, because it's competition. And revolutionary governments, totalitarian governments, go after religious people first,” he observed. “That is the measure of a free country in the end: are you allowed to believe that there's an authority higher than the people in charge of your government?”
The primetime anchor showcased footage of police arriving at Riemer's home and arresting him for mischief and causing a disturbance. “Canada has now become an atheist totalitarian state with amazing speed,” Carlson remarked. “In Canada, it's now a crime to object to sexualized drag shows for children.”
