Tucker Carlson on the Somali Invasion and the Self-Loathing Ideology Destroying America

Published | Video Starts at 07:03

The Somalis who live in the United States came here as refugees. Refugees. So the assumption is if there's a problem in the world, The United States has a moral obligation [to bring refugees to the U.S. after intervening in foreign conflicts]. No one ever clarifies where this obligation comes from, but it's pre existing. It's just in the Constitution somewhere to bring that person and all of his relatives to the United States and pay for everything, because that's who we are. (07:03–08:10)
