Tucker Carlson: I've really never seen anybody treated like Donald Trump was treated

"That's why I'm here. I'm not here because he's gonna win. I'm here because I'm so thrilled by what I've watched over the past nine years. This is the end of a redemption arc. I've really never seen anybody treated like Donald Trump was treated. Ever. Anybody. Ever. Attack him."

"I watched this all up close. Defame him. Indite him. Arrest him. Let him get shot in the face. And he's gonna win anyway. It is a triumph! It's a triumph. The phrase, triumph of the human spirit, has been turned into a cliché by the people who write movie posters. But it doesn't make it any less real. Donald Trump's victory will be a triumph of the human spirit."

"It will be a triumph of Americans over the machine that seeks to oppress them. It will be a middle finger wagging in the face of the worst people in the English-speaking world who are leaders. It will be a moral victory the size of which I never thought I would live to see."
