11:40Now PlayingFox News host, Tucker Carlson, tries to win back viewers after his true feelings on Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 riot are exposed with an insane spin on Jan. 6 footage provided by Kevin McCarthy. John Iadarola and Imara Jones break it down on The Damage Report.

Kevin McCarthy wanted Jan. 6 propaganda from Tucker Carlson, and that’s what he’ll get
"If House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) interest in the more than 40,000 hours of security footage from the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was primarily transparency, he would have made it available to the press or the public. If he believed the House select committee that investigated the storming of the U.S. Capitol by violent Trumpists bent on overturning the 2020 election had engaged in malfeasance, he’d have turned the footage over to a Republican-controlled House committee for review.
But rather than taking either of those routes, last month McCarthy instead gave Fox News star Tucker Carlson and his staff exclusive access to the footage. He’s done that because he wants what Carlson is among the best at creating: propaganda.
Carlson has spent the last two years spinning up a sinister, fraudulent alternative to the standard narrative about January 6, which he describes as a “wholly created myth.” His story conveniently excuses former President Donald Trump, other Republican officials like McCarthy, and Fox hosts like himself for promoting the lies about election fraud that brought the mob to the Capitol."
