TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): And not only is Joe Biden ending tariffs against China, Joe Biden's Justice Department has just arrested the man responsible for those tariffs. His name is Peter Navarro, he was the most effective China hawk in the Trump administration. Last month, Peter Navarro was handcuffed in a Washington D.C. airport and dragged to jail in leg irons.
Why? Supposedly because of January 6. But Peter Navarro had literally nothing to do with Jan 6. He wasn't even there. But Joe Biden didn't stop there.
Steve Bannon was the other notable voice in the Trump administration warning about the growing power and malicious intent of the Chinese government. In November of last year, Steve Bannon was also arrested by the Biden Justice Department, also on absurd pretexts.
So, take a step back. What's the message here? Well, it's unmistakable. Don't criticize the Chinese government, or we will throw you in jail.
