Tucker Carlson Slams “Professional Christians” for Silence on Canadian Pastor’s Arrest
The pastor was arrested for protesting a children’s drag event, calling to mind pandemic-era arrests for “illegal” church gatherings
Fox News host Tucker Carlson confronted “professional Christians” for remaining silent on the arrest of a Canadian pastor who protested a drag event for children.
“Where is David French, Beth Moore, Tim Keller, and all these people who are defending Christianity as actual Christians are being arrested for being Christians? Not a word,” Carlson said during his program on Thursday evening, referring to a handful of prominent Christian figures who have been accused of having sympathies for “wokeness” and COVID-19 policies.
He was discussing the arrest of Pastor Derek Riemer, who was physically expelled from the Calgary Public Library’s Seton branch for protesting a drag queen event for kids.
According to The Daily Wire, police later showed up at Riemer’s home and arrested him, in a scene that was eerily similar to the arrest of a handful of Canadian pastors over their “illegal” church gatherings during the pandemic.
“On some level, all governments hate religious people, because it’s competition. And revolutionary governments, totalitarian governments, go after religious people first,” Carlson opined during his segment on Riemer. “That is the measure of a free country in the end: are you allowed to believe that there’s an authority higher than the people in charge of your government?”
“Canada has now become an atheist totalitarian state with amazing speed,” he continued. “In Canada, it’s now a crime to object to sexualized drag shows for children.”
The Daily Wire notes that, according to their own reporting, French and Keller cooperated with the Biden administration to encourage its COVID-19 policies and also vocally praised pro-abortion, professed LGBT “ally” Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, as a faithful Christian.
Meanwhile, Keller’s church segregated congregants according to vaccine status.
KELLER did what??????? God forbid!
