Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused Democrats of forcing their radical views on the American people and said theyve created a theocracy run by atheists.

Im old enough to remember when the left sincerely worried, or said they did, about the right turning this into some kind of theocracy and imposing its puritanical values on the rest of the country,Carlsonsaid on Fox Newss The Daily Briefing Wednesday.

The irony, of course, is that theyre doing it right now. Its a kind of theocracy run by atheists, where the minor, smallest peccadillos from your teen years are now disqualifying. Is this really the standard we want?

Carlsonwas discussing the confirmation fight over Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh and blamed the press for being complicit in a Democratic smear campaign.(RELATED: Tucker Carlson Slams Nike For Using Colin Kaepernick As A Pawn In Its Decadent Scheme)

I understand this is a political tactic. Thats what political parties do, he added. But the fact that the press is playing along with it and adding no perspective to this at all reporting on a guy whos written over 300 opinions as a federal judge, all of which ought to be open to debate, as far as Im concerned.

WATCH:

There is stuff to debate if you wanted to. And instead were really arguing about his yearbook and some dumb phrase he and his friends used and his behavior in a fraternity. Like, who cares? Honestly.

Carlson also cited Kavanaughs temperament and demeanor during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing and said it was a normal reaction from someone being accused of a crime.

By the way, speaking for myself, I would have judged him if he hadnt [reacted]. Having been accused falsely of a crime, I know how frustrating and terrifying and lonely it is,Carlsonconcluded.

The net effect on the rest of us, leaving aside the Kavanaugh nomination, is its forcing everyone to lie. If you can be held accountable, if theres no forgiveness and you can be destroyed because of something you did when you were 18, then nobody can admit anything. And we all have to pretend to be blameless and it makes a society far more dishonest and fearful. It has a truly corrosive effect.
