Fox News host Tucker Carlson ripped Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday, saying he was \u201clying\u201d about the motive of the Nashville shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere\u2019s what we just learned from Merrick Garland: The FBI, the ATF, and the Nashville police are all investigating the shooting, and yet, more than 24 hours after it took place, none of those professional investigators could even guess as to why the shooting happened,\u201d Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, said. \u201cMotive hasn\u2019t been identified, Garland told us. Really? You wonder how that could possibly be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe FBI and ATF are both on the scene, working with local police, as of now, motive hasn\u2019t been identified in the police chief said that they at the last press conference that they do not have a conclusion with respect to the motive, we are certainly working for full time with them to try to determine what the motive is and of course motive is going to determine whether or not it\u2019s a hate crime,\u201d Garland said during a congressional hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old female shooter who identified as\u00a0transgender<\/a>,\u00a0killed<\/a>\u00a0three children and three adults at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Monday before being engaged and fatally wounded by law enforcement after reportedly\u00a0entering<\/a>\u00a0the school via a side door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust before she opened fire, the Nashville shooter wrote these words to her best friend over Instagram. \u2018One day this will make more sense, I\u2019ve left behind more than enough evidence,\u2019\u201d Carlson said. \u201cThat evidence includes a written manifesto where the killer spells out exactly why she killed children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe FBI, the ATF, and Nashville police and for that matter Merrick Garland all have access to that manifesto. Yet somehow, the attorney general informs us that the motive has not been identified,\u201d Carlson continued. \u201cWell, he\u2019s lying. They all are lying. We cannot see the manifesto because the transgender lobby, which has more power than you do, has pressured politicians to keep it hidden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats, media figures and celebrities demanded<\/a> a ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons\u201d in the wake of the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
