Senate Republicans blasted Fox News on Tuesday for airing a show that twisted details of the January 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol into a conspiracy-fueled narrative, breaking ranks with House GOP colleagues who cheered on the show.

From Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to rank-and-file lawmakers, Republican senators largely rejected Fox personality Tucker Carlson’s vision of the deadly insurrection as a mostly peaceful protest that involved little violence.

“It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here in the Capitol thinks,” McConnell told reporters.
 
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), once a vocal supporter of former president Donald Trump who has consistently denounced the attack, was blunt in his assessment of Carlson’s narrative: “To somehow put (Jan. 6) in the same category as a permitted peaceful protest is just a lie.”
 
“I can’t forecast what Speaker McCarthy was thinking about but if you’re going to give footage, give it to all the networks, not just one,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted to convict Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial that stemmed from Jan. 6. “I think it’s a very dangerous thing to do to suggest that attacking the Capitol of the United States is in any way acceptable and is anything other than a serious crime against democracy and against our country.”

It doesn't matter to the die hard MAGA minions (civilian and politician). ANY lie that's fabricated and constructed by their "leadership" is viewed as the word from the mount on high.

Forget the FACT that all these key pundits were revealed in court as two faced liars who played their audiences for suckers...or that the very head of the industry copped in court to knowingly let his people promote the Big Lie.

Nope, our constipated looking blowhard Carlson tells them what they want to hear...and all is right with the world.

Next up, Bannon offers shares of the Brooklyn Bridge to "true MAGA patriots" loyal to Heir Trump!

You know the MAGAs are just going to claim they're RINOs. Some believe the Fox propaganda and the rest are just trolling. It's near impossible to have a straightforward debate with these people.

Carlson really has your number doesn't he?
 
“The most disturbing accusation from last night was that our late friend and colleague Brian D. Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with his heroic actions on Jan. 6,” Manger wrote. “The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day.”

To be fair not all Senate republicans blasted Tucker for it and it should be acknowledged that Tucker didn't manufacture that video....that's what really happened.

Please copy and paste from the linked article where anyone said that Carlson "manufactured" anything. If you can't then you're just trying to insert a straw man where there is none.

translation: Guille made an accusation that he couldn't prove. But instead of just conceding a point, he dodges like a little MAGA bitch with a moot point and smoke blowing.

He has no guile, folks.

Still not surprised you can't deal with it. You're starting to wake up though so I'll give you credit for that....a little credit.

Repeating your BS with the addition with alluding to a false sense of "victory" is worthless in a printed medium, toodles. For the objective reader, the chronology of the post will always show your folly.

It's an anonymous medium, Guillermo ... no one in the real world gives a damn if you admit you're wrong or concede a point. Jeez, GTFU!

Repeating what BS? I'm not the one having a problem with the footage being released. I like truth...you don't.
