Fox News Aired A Segment Criticizing Tucker Carlson’s Ridiculous Attempt To Spin The Jan. 6 Riot As Peaceful
"On Monday night, Tucker Carlson aired the first in a series of reports on what his team found after being gifted 40,000 hours of Jan. 6 riot footage. Surprise surprise: He cherry-picked mundane footage that made the violent incident look peaceful, calling the insurrectionists mere “sightseers.” It was cynical, even lazy, and it even got pushback from some braver Republican lawmakers. It was so bad even Tucker’s own network tore it apart.
On Tuesday, not long before Carlson’s nightly episode was set to begin, anchor Brett Baier aimed a segment dispassionately looking at the report, and mostly concluding that it was bunk. It featured some of the GOP lawmakers who slammed it to the press the day after, including South Dakota senator John Thune reiterating that the attack was just that, and North Dakota’s Kevin Cramer straight up calling it a “lie.”
And of course, there was Mitch McConnell, who was visibly shaken after the riot, so much so that he later voted against prosecuting Trump over his second impeachment. He even said he’d still support him in 2024, despite him lobbing racist taunts at his own wife. Still, at least he cleared the perilously low bar of not rewriting history."
