Pro-Trump Tucker Carlson Regular Comes Right Out and Says It: ‘This Country Needs a Dictator’

Podcaster Jesse Kelly, who appeared frequently on Fox News' now-defunct Tucker Carlson Show, made a stunning claim Tuesday that goes against the Constitution he swore to uphold as a U.S. Marine: "This country needs a dictator."

Pro-Trump podcaster Jesse Kelly, a frequent guest on the canceled program of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, declared that the United States “needs a dictator” in an alarming tweet.

“Let me tell you all an uncomfortable truth: This country needs a dictator,” Kelly tweeted to his nearly 640,000 followers. “As the great John Adams said, a free country only works for a ‘moral people.’ We are not worthy of freedom. A dictator is coming.”

One Twitter user responded, “Weimar problems eventually lead to Weimar solutions,” referencing Germany’s Weimar Republic, that historians say created conditions that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Kelly responded simply, “There it is.”

A real American.

Jesse Kelly needs to be nuked.

The American Conservative Union, the organization that puts on the CPAC events, was hit with a bombshell resignation letter from its treasurer Bob Beauprez that lobbed multiple stunning allegations, including concealment of money paid to defend chairman Matt Schlapp against a lawsuit, refusal to allow Beauprez to review financial records, and egregious mistreatment of staffers.

In January, Schlapp was accused by a staffer on Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign of aggressively groping him while visiting Georgia during the 2022 election. “Matt Schlapp of the CPAC grabbed my junk and pummeled it at length,” the staffer said in a video he took the night of the alleged incident. “I feel so fucking dirty. I feel so fucking dirty.”

Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in tears to report his father was 'throwing' him around the house. Then she took the phone.

Boebert's husband, Jayson, denied anything physical happened after one of the couple's sons told police he was being "thrown around the house."

Rep. Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in December to report that his father, Jayson Boebert, had gotten physical with him and was "throwing" him around the house and that he didn't know why.

Minutes after the call ended — while Garfield County Sheriff's Office deputies were on their way to their home — the teen called again to take the accusations back, with Lauren Boebert jumping on the phone to say her son "doesn't need help."

I can't really afford to shop at WalMart. Target is more expensive. That has been my reality for at least 40 years.
