Tucker Carlson Warns ‘There Is a Spiritual Battle’ Targeting Trump and Christians

July 18, 2024

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has told an audience at a Heritage Foundation event in Milwaukee that the recent attempt on former president Trump’s life is evidence of dark forces at work in America.

According to Crosswalk, Carlson told the audience, “I think what happened on Saturday, the assassination attempt against President Trump, reminded a lot of people or awakened a lot of people to this. There is a spiritual battle underway.”

The former Fox News host continued, saying, “There is no logical way to understand what we’re seeing now in temporal terms. You just can’t. These are not political divides. There are forces — and they’re very obvious now, they’ve decided, for whatever reason, to take off the mask — whose only goal is chaos, violence, destruction.”

The Christian Post reports that Carlson observed that the same dark dynamic that has animated revolutionary movements in the past is particularly opposed to Christianity. Carlson said, “What group do they dislike most?” he asked. “What group are they absolutely terrified of and hoping to eliminate? Well, it’s Christians. That’s who it is. It’s Christians.”

Carlson also referenced a “dark” warmongering attitude that has spread throughout the Republican Party, especially among those GOP members deeply opposed to Trump. He pointed out that Trump was the first president since Jimmy Carter not to start a new war or escalate a U.S. military conflict.

Regarding Trump’s most vindictive Republican opponents, Carlson stated, “They want the power to kill, that’s it. And that’s the power everyone who wants to be God seeks to possess. That’s why human sacrifice was a thing. ‘I have the power to kill.’ Only God has the power over life and death, and that’s the power they want.”
