“Anybody who knows anything about that case and believes that Assange should still be in prison is your enemy, by the way, and the enemy of human freedom and flourishing,” Tucker Carlson said to a packed audience in Canberra, Australia.

Carlson didn’t hold back, calling it “monstrous” that Assange spent twelve years locked away for exposing other people’s crimes.

“Typically, the guy who discovers the crime doesn’t go to jail. It’s the guy who commits the crime that goes to jail, and that’s been inverted in his case.”
