He began his speech with a tribute to the press and the First Amendment, calling the free press a pillar of a free society.

For those like Carlson who expose the cozy relationship between Democrats and media, only condemnation awaits.<\/p>\n<p>Because Carlson&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Biden&#8217;s Attack on Tucker Carlson Proves His Regime Only Recognizes Constitutional Rights of Allies<\/h2>\n<p>President Biden has repeatedly sought to discredit Tucker Carlson and his former employer, Fox News, for reporting on issues that the president&#8217;s allies refuse to acknowledge. Despite pretending that journalists who use cheat sheets at his press conferences are not &#8220;the enemy&#8221; of society and democracy, Americans overwhelmingly know better. Biden&#8217;s recent &#8220;joke&#8221; about Carlson further confirms that his regime only plans to recognize the constitutional rights of its allies.<\/p>\n<p>If you rooted for the death of Carlson&#8217;s career for years, Biden&#8217;s &#8220;joke&#8221; about the former Fox News host may have been hilarious to you. However, it didn&#8217;t land with the American people. Instead, it proves that the Biden administration only recognizes the constitutional rights of its allies.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\nJordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
