Tucker Carlson is calling mask mandates in schools child abuse. He's taking a page from Qanon folks. Average Americans will feel compelled to protect children, so you pretend the children are under attack. It rallies these people to go to their local school boards and make a scene, and most importantly, vote Republican.<br /><br />@The Benjamin Dixon Show <br /><br />We stream our live show every day at 12 PM ET. <br /> <br />We need your help to keep providing free videos!
