Tucker Carlson Thinks Capitol Riot Was ‘False Flag’ Event To Target Conservatives

In a new, three-part documentary produced by Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host suggests that the events of January 6th were a "false flag" operation that was conducted to target conservatives. Carlson is trying to paint Republicans as the victims, but the footage and history of the individuals involved blow the "false flag" talking point completely to bits. Farron Cousins discusses the new series and why Carlson is going all-in on this new conspiracy.

Fox news host Tucker Carlson has put together a three part documentary series on as they put it. What really happened on January 6th, 2020, they've put out the trailer for the first episode that is going to drop on November 1st. And to be honest, it's quite terrifying. The imagery they use, the words they use saying things like there is a Patriot purge saying the helicopters are coming out for the conservatives, even claiming at one point that the Biden administration is rounding up conservatives and sticking them in Guantanamo bay to rot is what it says. All of that is very disturbing, but that's not even the most disturbing part. There is one woman featured in the trailer for this documentary who openly suggests that the events of January 6th were in fact a false flag operation. She doesn't say it definitely was, but she suggests that it is, and this is a clip, I guess Tucker Carlson felt was worth having in that trailer.

So even though Tucker himself, didn't say these words by virtue of the fact that this is his documentary and he's the one who put this trailer out. It is akin to him saying them. I feel January 6th could have been a false flag. These morons claim. Now here's the thing about this. We know it's not a false flag because we're not idiots Tucker Carlson's audience. On the other hand are very stupid people, smart people do not watch Tucker Carlson. They simply don't. But we know that this is not a false flag event because this it would have had to have taken years to set up because many of these capital rioters people have gone back through their social media history all the way back to 2015, where they were supporting Trump all the way back then.

So the government would have had to have started on this at least very early 2015, or perhaps even 20 14, 20 13 started rounding up people to pose as individuals who were going to support Donald Trump, who we didn't even know was going to run for president at the time, but okay. And they would have had to have posted these things. Plus we had to would have had to have ensured that Trump won the 2016 election, but then didn't win the 20, 20 election and not following really not following cause the amount of people and the amount of coincidences that would have had to have gone in to planning this thing are just absolutely through the roof. There is no way in hell this was a false flag operation, but they suggest that it could be in the documentary because they want make conservatives look bad because conservatives are the poor victims here.

It's so sad. Conservatives in America are being persecuted left and right. They're being banned from social media outlets, even though both Facebook and Twitter recently revealed that yeah, the algorithms actually favor conservative content. So conservatives had just been lying about that for years because they're the ones getting promoted over all of the other individuals. And of course there's no mass arrests of conservatives, except of course the ones who broke the law by rioting at the Capitol, by breaking into the Capitol, by stealing things from the Capitol. Yeah, those people have been arrested. Uh, last I've checked. None of them, by the way, have gone to Guantanamo bay to rock that's, that's simply not true. The problem with this, the problem with their Patriot purge talking points, using words like this is a war we are being persecuted. We are the victims. Is that everyone who actually tunes in to watch this thing out of curiosity is going to believe that it's true.

They're going to believe that it's true. We have seen what happens when these people feel threatened. We see what has happened when these people feel like they have been wronged by the government. And by the way, that's exactly what happened on January 6th, because they had been told these things by a demagogue in that case, Donald Trump and all his little followers. And now they're being told those same exact things from a different demagogue, Tucker Carlson, whatever happens from this point forward, if any of those idiots who this is targeted to act in any way, it's on Tucker Carlson.
