TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We don't put people in jail in this country for being Black. We didn't do that in the 1980's and 90's. Sorry. People go to jail for committing crimes. Not all of our anti-crime laws are smart. Some of them are dumb. But the bill wasn't written to punish an ethnic group. It was written to control what was a very real problem, including in Black neighborhoods, maybe especially. And that was drug-fueled crime.
