TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Mayor Bowser was buoyed and gratified by the support she received from her friends over on MSNBC, so she also had Black Lives Matter painted in enormous yellow letters on 16th Street in downtown D.C., kind of a bold move if you think about it, making a street partisan. Imagine a big city mayor naming a major thoroughfare NRA Avenue or Planned Parenthood Boulevard. Think anyone would say anything about it? It's impressive in a way, but Black Lives Matter wasn't satisfied by it, not even close.
