(LifeSiteNews) — Tucker Carlson slammed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as an “abortion fanatic” in a Tuesday interview with Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.
In a discussion covering the excessive power of the current U.S. federal government, its hostility toward Christianity, and the expulsion of Joe Biden from the upcoming presidential race, Carlson and Sen. Lee touched on the possibility that Harris could be president, with Lee sharing that he noticed she had an “obsession” with certain so-called “rights” that were “invented whole cloth.”
The abortion discussion begins at 1:03:01 in the video below:
Carlson noted, “She’s an abortion fanatic … it’s hard to understand the fanaticism, that sort of crazed, wild-eyed enthusiasm for abortion from her. What do you think that is?”
Lee replied that he “suspects” this radical pro-abortion stance “may be a product of her training, her education, her upbringing,” adding that American law schools “tend to indoctrinate” students with the idea that Roe v. Wade was legitimate, “with very few exceptions,” and even that it is “fundamental” to the U.S.’s identity.
Carlson posited that Democrats consider Roe to be even “more fundamental than the Bill of Rights.”
“I mean, these are people who don’t think you have the right to say what you think, travel where you want to travel, associate with who you want to associate with. The core human rights bestowed by God, they do not acknowledge. But you have a right to kill your child? What is that?” the news host continued.
He went on to question why abortion continues to be aggressively promoted by the left when the U.S. is at below-replacement birth rates.
Lee said he finds it “interesting” that instead of promoting abortion as something “safe, legal, and rare” – a “Clinton-era Democratic party” idea – abortion is “now a sacrament” to leftists like Harris.
“Women are being encouraged to share their stories now about why they’re so glad they’ve had one. It’s so awful,” Lee said.
Carlson agreed, adding, “It seems to me just like your conventional human sacrifice cult that every civilization has had.”
Harris has already demonstrated a special fervor for the “right” to kill unborn children through abortion. As Lila Rose of Live Action has already noted, as California’s attorney general, Harris targeted pro-life undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt after their groundbreaking reporting on the abortion industry’s sale of baby body parts rocked the country in 2015. She ordered a raid on Daleiden’s apartment, had his laptop stolen, and did everything she could to ensure that the undercover footage of Planned Parenthood – one of her biggest campaign donors – never saw the light of day.
She famously went on to become the first vice president to visit an abortion clinic, touring a Planned Parenthood site in Minnesota. Her primary contribution to the now-aborted Biden re-election campaign has been touring the country on a “reproductive health” tour, plugging abortion and condemning pro-life laws as cruel and inhumane.
