Tucker Carlson called former President Barack Obama "one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures in the history of American politics" for using the funeral of Rep. John Lewis to attack the police.
"Bull Connor may be gone. But today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of Black Americans. George Wallace may be gone. But we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators," Obama said Thursday at Lewis' funeral.
"The country falling apart riven by racial strife and tribalism and one of the most respected people in the whole country decides to pour gasoline on that and compare the police to Bull Connor? As if America or Minneapolis is like Birmingham, Alabama in 1963? It's insane. It's reckless," Carlson said of Obama's comparison.
