[Washington Examiner] Carlson claimed the 2020 election was unfair in several other ways, part of a process that spanned across the entire year.
"On many levels, the system was rigged against one candidate and in favor of another. And it was rigged in ways that were not hidden from view. We all saw it happen. The media openly colluded with the Democratic nominees. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refused to explain what they would do if they were elected. That’s never happened before in any presidential election in American history. But the media allowed them to do it," he said.
"At the same time, beginning in the spring, Democrats used our public health emergency for nakedly partisan ends," he added, referring to the coronavirus pandemic. "They punished Trump supporters for trying to gather, but they exempted their own activists, rioters, and vandals from BLM [Black Lives Matter] and antifa from the COVID lockdowns entirely."
He said the restrictions Democrats did enforce "crushed" small businesses, which he said are "the heart" of the Republican Party, while their own donors got richer. He named Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and said the world's wealthiest man saw his net worth jump by more than $70 billion during the pandemic.
"Then, Democrats used the coronavirus to change your system of voting. They vastly increased the number of mail-in ballots because they knew their candidates would benefit from less secure voting, and they were right," he said.
"They used the courts to neutralize the Republican Party's single most effective 'get out the vote' operation, which, for generations, had been the National Rifle Association," Carlson continued. "Not enough has been written about this, but anyone on the ground saw it. Thanks to legal harassment from the Left, the NRA played a vastly reduced role in this election, and that made a huge difference in swing states like Pennsylvania and others."
Carlson said, "Above all" was how Democrats "harnessed the power of Big Tech to win this election," referring to how news is curated in Google and social media giants Twitter and Facebook deciding to "censor" ideas online.
"They rigged the election in front of all of us, and nobody did anything about it," he concluded.
