Tucker Carlson asked the Democrat Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, the million-dollar question so many of us have on our minds: under what authority do these governors and mayors have the right to take away American's freedoms in the name of 'safety'?
'The Bill of Rights, as you well know, protects Americans' rights -- enshrines their right to practice their religion as they see fit and to congregate together to assemble peacefully," Carlson said.

That is the best thing we can do to break the back of the curve of this virus, that leads to lower hospitalization and ultimately fatalities."
