The Left has been in full meltdown mode since President Trump sent National Guard troops to Chicago.
Democrat politicians are screaming about fascism and comparing Trump to Hitler.
But Tucker Carlson just silenced Democrats with one fact that hit them like a ton of bricks.
Democrats cry fascism over federal law enforcement
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker lost his mind when Trump announced federal troops were heading to Chicago to help ICE agents do their jobs.
The rotund governor – who apparently thinks he’s presidential material – went straight to the Nazi playbook.
"What I know is, in the early days of the Nazi regime, they started, slowly but surely, taking away people’s rights," Pritzker whined. "And what we’re seeing now is the very same thing. They’ve gone into cities now with the military."
Pritzker has repeatedly compared Trump to Nazi Germany throughout his presidency.
In one recent outburst, he claimed Trump’s immigration enforcement resembled "the early days of the Nazi regime" when "they started, slowly but surely, taking away people’s rights."
He’s also called Trump’s policies part of an "authoritarian march" and demanded the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Trump from office.
The problem with Pritzker’s hysterical performance is that it’s built on a complete lie.
And Tucker Carlson was ready to expose exactly how dishonest these Democrats really are.
Tucker exposes the Left’s historical ignorance
On his show, Carlson dismantled Pritzker’s Nazi comparison by pointing to American history.
Carlson noted that sending federal troops to enforce federal law has happened repeatedly throughout U.S. history – and was celebrated by Democrats when their presidents did it.
He highlighted two major examples that completely destroyed the Left’s "unprecedented fascism" narrative.
First, Carlson recalled September 1957, when President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce school desegregation at Central High School.
According to Carlson, Eisenhower deployed 1,000 soldiers from the elite 101st Airborne – not a few hundred National Guard troops, but battle-hardened paratroopers with M1 rifles – to a high school.
The media celebrated Eisenhower’s decision because he was enforcing a Supreme Court ruling against Democrat politicians who refused to follow federal law.
But Carlson wasn’t finished demolishing the Democrat Party’s hypocrisy.
Carlson reveals Kennedy’s massive military deployment
Carlson then exposed an even more devastating example from Democrat hero John F. Kennedy.
In 1962, Kennedy faced a similar situation when James Meredith tried to enroll at the University of Mississippi and local Democrat politicians tried to stop him.
Carlson pointed out that Kennedy’s response made Trump’s Chicago deployment look restrained by comparison.
As Carlson documented, Kennedy deployed more than 30,000 U.S. servicemen to a campus of 6,000 students.
The Fox News host described how Kennedy’s forces "camped on the quad in tents, put tanks on the football field, and put machine gun emplacements on the quad."
Kennedy was applauded by the same media establishment that now calls Trump a dictator for sending a few hundred National Guard troops to help enforce immigration law.
The truth about Chicago’s Democrat-created disaster
Carlson also exposed the real reason Democrats are so desperate to keep federal law enforcement out of Chicago.
The longtime Fox News host pointed out that the city has become a complete disaster zone under Democrat control.
Chicago sees thousands of shooting victims every year, with entire neighborhoods that have become no-go zones for law-abiding citizens.
The situation has gotten so bad that longtime residents are fleeing to places like Southwest Florida in massive numbers.
Democrats don’t want federal troops in Chicago because it will expose just how badly they’ve destroyed one of America’s greatest cities.
Look, here’s what’s really happening.
Trump is doing exactly what Democrat heroes like Eisenhower and Kennedy did – sending federal troops to enforce federal law against local officials who think they can ignore the Constitution.
The only difference is that this time, the local official refusing to follow federal law happens to be from the Democrat Party.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has turned his city into a sanctuary for illegal aliens while his own constituents get shot in the streets.
Trump has deployed about 500 National Guard troops to help ICE agents do their jobs – a fraction of what Kennedy used at Ole Miss.
Democrat politicians don’t want federal troops in Chicago because it will expose just how badly they’ve destroyed one of America’s greatest cities.
When Trump sends a few hundred National Guard troops to help ICE enforce immigration law, he gets called a Nazi.
But when Democrat presidents sent tens of thousands of heavily armed soldiers to enforce court orders, they got standing ovations.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking, but not surprising.
This is the same Democrat Party that spent four years calling Trump a fascist while they weaponized the Justice Department against their political opponents.
For conservatives who believe in law and order, this is exactly what presidential leadership looks like.
Federal immigration law isn’t optional – it’s the difference between being a country and being a free-for-all zone where anyone can show up and collect taxpayer benefits.
The real fascists here are the Democrat politicians who think they can pick and choose which federal laws apply in their cities while their constituents suffer the consequences of their lawless policies.
