Tucker Carlson - When you start putting people in jail for praying, it’s pretty clear who you’re actually working for. Paul Vaughn is facing 11 years in Biden’s prisons.
Tucker Carlson exposes Biden’s legal hypocrisy: while violent crimes go unpunished, Paul Vaughn—a Tennessee father of 11 with no record—faces 11 years for praying outside an abortion clinic after an October 2022 FBI raid. Charged under conspiracy laws for a misdemeanor, Vaughn’s case reveals a weaponized justice system targeting religious dissent while ignoring border invasions and drug trafficking. His lawyer, Steve Crampton, argues this reflects a government more concerned with silencing protest than protecting rights, exposing a double standard where domestic critics face prison while foreign regimes escape scrutiny.

Stormtroopers showed up at the house with rifles, not just handguns, rifles, weapons of war, battle rifles, the ones that Joe Biden is telling you you can't have.
They showed up at Paul Vaughn's house to arrest him.
So the question is, what exactly did he do?
Was he a terrorist, a serial killer?
Was he trying to invade the country?
No.
Paul Vaughn's crime, Paul Vaughn, the father of 11 children, had dared to pray and sing hymns in the hallway of an abortion clinic.
In other words, he did what the Biden administration really fears.
He prayed.
And for doing that, he faces 11 years in prison.
By the way, we're not overstating this.
We're not simplifying it in a dishonest way.
Those are the facts.
Paul Vaughn joins us now along with his lawyer, Steve Crampton, and we're grateful to have them both.
Thank you very much for joining us.
Mr. Vaughn, first to you, I just want to make absolutely clear because I think This is the most clarifying thing that's happened in the last couple of years, that we're not leaving anything out.
You are not accused of threatening anyone's life, stealing anything, invading anyone's country.
You're facing 11 years in prison for praying and singing hymns in an abortion clinic.
Is that correct?

Absolutely correct.
My main crime of the day I wasn't arrested by the local police, was charged, and my main crime was I talked to the police and talked to the media.
Your crime is that you talked to the- That's a crime in Biden's America.
I mean, I'm trying to stifle my bitterness because I want to get information from you and not just give long lectures and editorials.
But I mean, it must be a little strange for you to hear the endless Sermons that we get from our government about how this or that country is authoritarian and they don't have freedom.
When you've been arrested for praying in the United States, does that seem weird to you?
unidentified
You bet.
Yeah, I love the comparison with, I forget, somebody threw it out on Twitter recently about Russia arresting somebody for tweeting a meme about an election and giving them seven months in jail.
For the same—and it turns out, of course, it was Biden's DOJ, and you interviewed the guy that was involved in that case.
That same conspiracy statute was used against him that was used against us.
What makes a—what would be, even if I had broken the law that day, would be a six-month misdemeanor under the FACE Act.
But by throwing in the conspiracy charges, they make a misdemeanor into a decade-long felony.
